NEW LOOK CLIPPERS vs BUCKS – Chris PAUL – Bradley BEAL – Myles TURNER – Road to NBA 2K26
two teams. My attention is drawn to the front court matchup. Oh yeah, this should be a battle on the baseline. Great to watch skilled bigs trade blows and show off what they can do down low. And now the Los Angeles starters. Even a Zubots out there with John Collins. Then it’s James Harden. Then there’s Bradley Beal. And it’s Leonard in at the three. The small forward. Well, Harden just outworking them inside. Could we say he wanted it more? And what you like about James Harden, he can play with any set of teammates. Brent, well, we’re seeing this transition, BA, right, from Harden being this elite offensive system by himself to now being a better teammate, a guy who can facilitate and set guys up uh to make better offensive plays. So, not children the entire load anymore. He’s been very flexible over the past couple seasons. [Applause] Well, Grant, from roster to coaching changes, the Bucks have been trying to become an even more elite team. Yeah, teams are always tinkering now these days. BA, the Bucks know they are a highlevel team, but they want to dominate the competition on another level. Now, here’s Porter. Pass to Green. the three. That one drops and it comes off an assist from Porter. And wanting to elevate his playmaking skills, Porter Jr. continues to impress with his passing ability. All right, let’s check in with Alli Leforce. I was able to spend a few minutes with Doc Rivers. He feels good about their chances if they can prevent Kawhi Leonard from taking over. We’re talking about a first ballot hall of famer who can score from all three levels and can take your best scorer out of the game. I asked him, “So, what’s the plan?” He said survive and Ally. Thanks. Now here’s Trent. And they double up on it to Kmpo. Turner for three. [Applause] Second chance shot. It’s rebounded by Zubox. He creates such a great opportunity right at the rim and he just can’t get it to go even with the defense not really a factor. Here’s Hanakumbo to the right side. A good look from Turner. It’s rebounded by Zubots. So weird sometimes when you get that much time it can throw you off just as much as having no time. Here’s Leonard and again it’s Clippers missing. Couldn’t quite line that one up. Just got to shake it off and move on to the next one. Tren finds on Kmpo. [Applause] Turner a screen on Zubots. Here’s an Kmpo. Money from 17 ft out. Giannis finding the mid-range Jay and he can score over the top. Harden scanning the floor. Here’s Beal. Oh, it’s Turner with a block. Out of bounds as Los Angeles keeps possession. And you got to be in awe of incredible defensive efforts like this. And that kind of rejection early on energizes your squad. The coaching staff just loves this kind of hustle. Here’s Harden. Cans it with nobody near him. Harden’s got five now here in the first. Just under two and a half minutes played so far. Trent outside. [Applause] Back to Adam to Kmpo. Four on the clock. And there’s the rejection. Terrific defense from Zubat. His team relies on him to help halter shots. And it’s time to take another look at that powerful block. That’ll put some fear into the shooters. And he made sure to do it early, too. And a timeout called here by Doc Rivers. We might see him looking to make some tweaks to the strategy here. [Applause] Heat. [Applause] Heat. [Applause] Porter from outside. Leonard pulls down the board and it’s Leonard with the ball for the LA Clippers. Collins outside. It’s good. And the assist that time from Leonard. Confidence there shown by John Collins. Got to like watching him go right up for the shot. Trent outside. It’s stolen by Leonard. And they’re on the break. And there’s a whistle. He’ll head to the line to shoot two. Obviously, everyone knows about the defense of Kawhi Leonard, but Grant, his shooting is overlooked. Yeah, you know, he’s at about 40% from three for his career. You combine that with his wing defense, you get a oneofone player capable of carrying a team. And the first one at the line is good. And despite his injury history, Kawaii still has the ability to take over games. Brent. Yeah. Does it feel BA that Kawaii sometimes is even more patient and more deliberate in the way he delivers in games? I think he’s the type of talent that can slow himself and the game down at his will and still be a lock down defender. And he makes both free throws. At this point, you might as well go ahead and chalk up the points when he’s at the free throw line. Pretty much automatic. Trent outside back two on Kmpo over Leonard. Boy, he clanks that one off the back iron and it falls. Yiannis has great confidence and he’s playing with it here. Be right side. Pass to Leonard. Zubots with it outside. Harden from downtown and they’ll get another chance. Leonard for three. Connects from downtown. Leonard’s got five points. Always a threat from range. You give Kawhai those looks. That’s at your own wrist. And here’s Turner. Right here. On a kmpo outside and a kmpo with the jam. I think Giannis loves that kind of stuff right there. His dunks sometimes get vicious. The Clippers lead by four. Leonard outside. Trent against Beal. And here’s Collins for three. The rebound by the Bucks. Well, even though he misses that one, the defense has got to talk about that. That’s a bad miscue and you can’t give up looks like that all game long. Turner against Beal on a Kmpo. The pass to Green. There’s a screen by Turner. Trent from long range. He can’t get that one to fall. Given his range, you’d expect him to capitalize on that open. Here’s Harden. The rebound by Turner. The Bucks trail by four. That one drops and it comes off an assist from Porter. The defense better watch Turner more closely because he can strike that fast. Now here’s Beal. Still no points. And Bradley Beal is going to pick up the foul. That’s his first foul. I love great defense. Just quick to establish his feet and he takes the hit. And Doc Rivers calls timeout. He wants to review the game plan. Anony’s checked in for Trent. And a switch here also for the Clippers. Jones. He’s checked in for John Collins. Harden against Porter. Pass to Turner. [Applause] Now here’s Anthony. He’s closely guarded. Outside Porter. Back to Anthony on a Kmpo outside. Six to shoot. Turner. A screen on Leonard. Pulls up that misses. Had a chance to tie it. And so it’s Jones who brings up the ball for the Clippers and it’s Leonard that time on the assist from Jones. Leonard’s got seven points. Great dribble move there. Kawhai using refined ball handling skills to get wherever he needs to on the floor. Here’s Anthony. Oh, rejected by Beal. [Applause] Pass to Harden. Now Leonard Anthony on the double out to Beal. Outside Harden Jones with a screen on Porter. Harden from outside. The rebound by Turner. The Bucks trail by four. Boy, they’d love if anyone could get a bucket. Yeah, their offense has been grinding to a halt. Green in the post working on Jones for three. Anthony rebound by the Clippers. Zubox has got his fourth rebound in this one. It’s so interesting, Grant. Younger fans may not realize the Clippers had a lot of rough seasons early on. Well, you know, BA, that’s one way to put it. You know, in their first 27 years in LA, they only made the playoffs four times, but things have definitely changed. owners have changed and now they’re postseason regulars in the league. Milwaukee has gone one for five from three-point range. A cold start pass to an Kmpo. Oh, and the dunk by Anakmpo. And look at Giannis using his length inside allowing him to beat the contact and get the finish. Beal against Anthony. Now here’s Beal. He’s covered closely outside. Jones lets the three fly. The rebound by Turner. The Bucks trail. And from the sideline, let’s catch up with Allie. Well guys, a lot of new developments for the Clippers this season. And obviously they have the new arena, new designs for their logo, jerseys, and court. Not only that, their G-League team moving into a brand new arena in Oceanside, renewing the San Diego Clippers moniker. Brian, a lot to be excited about for this Cliffs team. No question. Good stuff, Ally. Thank you. Back to Jones. Five to shoot. Zubox passes to Beal. And again, it’s the Clippers missing and Milwaukee shooting only 35% so far in this quarter. Zubots against Turner. And so he draws the foul. Headed to the line to shoot a pair. It’s going to be on Bradley Beal. These are his first free throws of the game. And he knocks down the first one. And some changes here for the Bucks. Portoris, he’s checked in for Anna Dmpo. Kyle Koosma comes in for Green. And Prince is subbed in for Porter Jr. Dunn. He’s checked in for the Clippers. He does not get the second one. The Clippers in the lead. Harden. The pass to Zubox. Leonard outside [Applause] right side. Harden. It’s stolen. [Applause] Here’s Portoris and unable to get the go-ahead bucket there. Well, the Clippers shooting only 31% to get this game underway. Oh, wasted no time on that one. Leonard’s got nine points. Going back to his college days, this is one of Leonard’s favorite moves, the simple pullup off the dribble. [Applause] Turner against Anthony outside. Prince a screen on Harden for three. Anthony rebound by the Clippers. Zubots has got six rebounds here tonight. Leonard passes to Dunn on the wing. Harden pass to Leonard. Fires the three. Drills it from deep. Now it’s a six-point Clipper lead. And Leonard a threelevel score as well as an offensive anchor for this team. Anthony the pass to Portoris. Jones comes with a double team. Puts up a three and that’s good. Portoris for three. These teams are finding the range. showing a lot of confidence. It seems like they’re going to find out who can make the deepest threes. Right now, it’s a shootout. Now, here’s Dunn. No made baskets yet. Prince, the pass to Turner. We’ve got a minute 48 left in the first quarter. Leonard against Koozma. for three. Anthony Leonard pulls down the board. The Clippers lead by three. Pass to Harden. Back to Leonard. Don outside. Here’s Jones for three. And Los Angeles. Another three. Defensively, you have to stay connected to him on the perimeter. And so Anthony will bring it up for Milwaukee. Portis outside. Turner against Hubots from 12 ft. Hits the rim on the way in. And the bucket is good. Not the usual shot from Koosma, but the defense certainly didn’t see that one coming. Pass to Jones. [Applause] Leonard outside. Double team on Leonard. Now here’s Jones. Zubox with a screen on Turner. Three-pointer Harden and he misses the shot again. Only two of seven in this one. Bucks trail by four. Mortis with it. And here’s Anthony defended by Dunn. Here’s Koozma and he’s going to the line for two. The officials saw contact while he was going up. And Koozma still able to get that one up even though he’s taking the contact. Milwaukee shooting their third and fourth free throw shots of the night. Four. That’s good from Koozma. And Koozma, one of those forwards that can kind of go between. Plays the four or the small forward. And that’s impressive versatility from this young player. Smith, he’s checked in for the Bucks. Gary Trent Jr. comes in for Prince Lopez. He’s checked in for the Clippers. Chris Paul comes in for Kawhi Leonard. Koozma hits them both. [Applause] And for the Clippers, they’re shooting about 40% in the early stages of this game. Trent against Harden. Lopez. A screen on Trent. Harden from outside. And the three-pointer goes. Harden’s got eight points. He’s a potent mix of effort and ability. Hard to shut down a player of his caliber. And that concludes the first quarter play. It’s Los Angeles. They’re up by five. And we’ll get things started in the second quarter when we return. [Applause] If you’re just joining us, we played through one quarter in this one and a moment now to quickly take a look at the offensive approach for the Clippers. Well, in today’s NBA, the three-point shot is so valuable. They realize this and that’s why they’re continuing to drain as many as they can. Love the passing that they displayed at the start of the game. Great ball movement that’s opening up some chances without really getting deep into the execution. The Bucks trail by five on the floor for the Clippers. Chris Dunn is out there with Chris Paul. Then there’s Derek Jones. Then there’s Brook Lopez. And it’s Beal in at the small forward position. Now here’s Smith. Six on the shot clock. Second chance effort and he lays it in. A stronger defensive presence would have saved them two points. It didn’t seem like anybody was really aware there to go and collect that rebound in the possession. Here’s Paul up top. Beal grab. There are such intense rivalries at the college level. Do any of those carry over to the NBA? Oh, BA, they sure do. I was part of some serious college rivalries. There was a lot of trash talk with the guys on the other side. It didn’t stop that much after we got to the NBA. Take a break. Take a break. Two shots. The first free throw is good. One thing Bradley Beal does so well with his craft is he’ll probe the defense. He’s very patient. He’s looking for weaknesses and typically he’ll find one and Beal drops them both. Bucks trail by five. Anthony. The pass to Portoris. Now Smith trend with it. Defended by Dunn. Pass to Portoris. Oh, it’s blocked by Lopez. Oh, that’s out of there. Not a high riser, but Lopez using his frame. A smart block if you will. Three on the clock. They get it back. Cortis. Oh, just couldn’t take the lid off. They had their chances. Came up empty. It’s Beal on the wing. Defended by Koosma. Back to Beal. Yes. And it’s Paul with the assist that time. Beal’s gotten four this quarter. Just such a polished scorer. Bradley Beal getting to the interior. [Applause] Smith in the high post working on Jones. Trent outside. Pure from three-point range. Trent’s got his first bucket of the game and he’s on the board for three. Los Angeles leading by four. Outside Paul. Lopez. The screen. Paul passes to Lopez. And it’s Lopez with the jam. quickness of Chris Paul dicing up the defense with his superb passing off the screen. Anthony feeling it out a bit. Oh, and he got fouled on his way up. He’ll head to the line to shoot two. It goes on Chris Paul. And even from where we’re sitting, you could clearly tell it was a foul. This is his second trip to the line in the game. First free throw is good. Collins, he’s checked in for Lopez. And he makes the first but misses the second. Los Angeles leading by five. Be outside. Jones. It’s the pass to Paul. Back to Jones to the wing right side and he lobbs it up. Poris with the steel. Koosma against Beal. Pass to Anthony. Portoris outside. Poris with a screen on Beal on the wing. Anthony Smith left side using his post moves to get the two points. And here in the second quarter about 3 minutes played Anthony against Paul. [Applause] Oh, a clear foul there on the miss shot. So he’ll get a pair at the line. It goes on Cole Anthony. Chris Paul when he gets into those tight spots, he becomes pretty smart in there. Los Angeles shooting their sixth and seventh free throw shots in the game. Take a break. Take a break. Two shots. That’s good from Paul. Anytime Paul gets here, you can bet that he’s going to step to the line and knock him down. Prince has checked in for the Bucks. Brook Lopez has checked in for Los Angeles. James Harden comes in for Dunn. That one falls. So, he hits both of them. And here’s Milwaukee now trailing by five. Here’s Prince. He’s off on that one. Oh, excellent D there from Harden. Outside Paul. Collins outside. [Applause] Pass to Harden. Clock at six. Lopez. The screen on Anthony. It’s Milwaukee with a rebound. And I’m surprised that didn’t go down. I mean, I’m sure he is too. Now Smith. Collins defending back to Koozma from deep and they recover it. Cortis the pass to Prince for three. Anthony sinks it from distance. Anony’s got five points. More and more signs of the skill set of Tory Prince as he finds an open teammate. And over the last half decade, Brent, Bobby Poris has been the best six-man big you can find. Yeah, pretty remarkable BA. He comes in, he gives you some great scoring in some stretches, plays some solid defense. He’s got a lot of fire to his game. So, this is the exact kind of guy that your team needs in the second unit. And a timeout called here by Doc Rivers. I think right now he must be looking at some adjustments. Anakmpo’s checked in for Milwaukee. Green comes in for Prince. Done. He’s checked in for the Clippers. [Applause] Bucks trail by five. Mono looking it over. Here’s Green. Collins with the rebound. Collins has got four rebounds in the game. Here’s Beal. So, it’ll be two free throws. He was fouled in the active shooting. Bradley Beal so thick and strong gets fouled, but still manages to get that shot off. And this will be his third and fourth free throws of the game here. shooting two. [Music] That one’s off. [Applause] He hits the second from the line. Here’s Anthony. Five points in the game. [Applause] Anakmpo outside [Applause] Anthony against Harden. Anthony the pass to Anna Dmpo and Harden with the block and stolen by Anna Dmpo and on to Tumpo with the stuff. Yeah, I don’t know how many defenders are stopping Giannis when he’s up like that. Collins outside [Applause] three-pointer Beal gets hauled in by Portoris. Poris has got four rebounds now. Koozma outside. The basket drops and he gets fouled on the shot. One free throw coming his way. And Koosma got thirsty there. Just took that contact and figured, man, let’s try to get to the line. It’s normal for guys to jump from team to team, Brent. But Kyle Kosma has displayed real loyalty. Well, he clearly is starting to value what culture means and respects the time to build that up. He wants to be part of something special. And when you have players start to think that way, sometimes it translates to the court where they’re more consistent and more reliable. And the free throw no good. Grant Kyle Koosma is an instinctual scorer who gets it done in a variety of ways. He’s especially skilled inside the painted area, but he’s a capable shooter from mid-range and beyond the ark. Plus, he’s someone you can rely on in the clutch. So, it’s Los Angeles now after the Bucks picking up a basket just moments ago. Lets it go from 14. Leaps for it and out of bounds. Milwaukee will have it. Milwaukee has gone two of four from the perimeter in the second so far. It’s hauled in by Beal. And so it’s Beal who brings up the ball for the Clippers. [Applause] Pass to Collins. Collins with a screen on Anthony. Shot clock at five. Harden fires away from outside. It’s Milwaukee with a rebound. Cortis has got his fifth rebound in this one. A moment to hear from Alli Leforce. We know Kawhi Leonard is a former Finals MVP. Jimmy Butler said, “There are guys that are like quote, I’m going to find the best way to win in a sevename series. I’m going to get the best of you in the end. Why is definitely up there. Whatever he’s got to do, he is going to find a way. And Brian Butler would know a thing or two about that, wouldn’t he? Yeah, you know that. No question about his abilities. Here’s Harden after the basket by Milwaukee on the other end. Pass to Leonard over Ana Kmpo. Rejected by Anakmpo. And so the ball out of bounds. Bonad Koopo touched it last and the fans love seeing incredible moments on defense like that block. You know, you can’t ask for any better defense than that. He responded so fast to the shooter and it stifled him. Milwaukee making some changes. Miles Turner comes in for Portoris. And it’s Porter Jr. in for Koozma. And a switch here also for the Clippers. Matum’s checked in. [Applause] Fade away. Harden. Good. Harden’s got 10. Well, a master from the mid-range. Harden. So good at finding available space from that distance. Outside Green. [Applause] It’s rebounded by Los Angeles. Now Harden. 10 points for him over Green and he misses the go-ahead basket. He may not be the strongest inside presence, but still he’s got to convert from there. Turner for three. Leonard pulls down the board. Leonard’s got his fourth rebound in this one. Don outside. Pass to Leonard. [Applause] Ana Kmpo grabs the board. Milwaukee has gone two of five from distance here in the second quarter. Green the pass to Anakmpo and the shot counts. He’s fouled and it’s a chance for a three-point play. And guys, what do you think about the hustle stats for Milwaukee? Well, their hands resulting in plenty of steals in the early going, keeping the opposition there off balance. They have also been superb at blocking shots. Just the timing has been impeccable, setting the tone on the defensive end and making those guys think about what they’re doing with the ball. And Giannis will just about do anything the coaching staff asks. A true team player. Clippers trail by three. They need something good to happen here. Yeah, they’ve gone way too long without a score. Pass to Leonard. Takes the three. Look at Leonard dialed in from deep and he was dominant in their last outing. And the same thing here tonight. He is in a terrific groove right now. Seems to be nobody standing in his way. No roadblocks for him to get to his spot, capitalize, and continue to be aggressive. Turner with it. 4-3. And a great assist by Anakmpo. And that one goes in. Turner’s got five now. And both teams running long range plays that are working. Well, both of them looking towards the three-point line. And I like to see that, especially when the results are made buckets. Paul for three. Rebounded by Green. Milwaukee leading by three. Pass to Trent. There’s the three. It’s hauled in by the Clippers. Collins has got his sixth rebound on the night. Harden with it. Guarded by Anna Dmpo. [Applause] Puts it up. The rebound by Turner. Milwaukee has gone three for seven from the perimeter during the second quarter. Tren outside. This one for three. That one is off. He didn’t make them pay for that weak defense, but they just can’t rely on him to miss those kind of shots. Paul against Porter. Here’s Leonard. It’s Leonard with a good look inside. And Kawawaii certainly one of the strongest players in the league at that position just doing damage. Outside Porter Pass to Turner. Georgia and they double up on it to Koopo. No good off the glass. The Clippers trail and here’s Collins [Music] on the wing. Harden guarded by Trent. Here’s Leonard. Clock at four. Batum gets the bucket. Batum’s got his first two points of the night. Batum getting the ball and just really relaxing on that Jay. Pass to Green to the left side wing. [Applause] Oh, Yiannis a rim rocker and the lead just keeps changing hands five times already and we still haven’t gotten out of the first half. And so Paul will bring it up for the LA Clippers. Outside Harden looking to get back on track. Oh, and he took a hard foul on the shot. So, he’ll head to the line to shoot a pair. And they’ll give that one to Miles Turner. So good at drawing contact and literally winning trips to the free throw line. Harden feasting on any chance to draw a foul. Take a break. Take a break. Two shots. Petty makes a first. Zubots. He’s checked in for the Clippers. Beal comes in for Chris Paul. [Applause] Both good from the line that time. Such a versatile guard. James Harden is a triple double threat every single night. Porter against Harden. Porter. The pass to Turner. [Applause] Trent on the wing. There’s a screen by Turner inside. Trent finds Turner. Here’s Porter. It’s rebounded by Zubots. Zubots has got rebound number seven tonight to the inside. Oh, deflected and stolen by Green. Pass to On Kmpo. Turner with it. Five points in the game. Outside for Green. Good. And Koopmpo gets the assist. Honor Koopo’s got his third assist of the night. The Clippers have gotten seven of 16 shots to go in the second. Porter against Harden. Kicks it out to Collins. Sinks the tray. Collins has got six. Wow. Eight lead changes in the first half. Unbelievable. Yeah. Both sides digging in for what looks like a war. And so a close game as we wrap up the first half of play. It’s Los Angeles leading by one. And we’ll be back for the second half following the break. Keep it right here on 2K Sports. And as we get into this third quarter, as we’ve seen so far, neither team able to create much separation on the scoreboard. It’s been one outstanding game from Kawhi Leonard. Through two quarters of play, he’s been an excellent source of points. Yeah, he’s he’s shouldering the load right now and looking really comfortable while he’s doing it. Here’s Porter. Hasn’t gotten one to fall yet. Kevin Porter is out there. Gary Trent. Then there’s Miles Turner. Then it’s Green. And it’s on to Koopo in at the power forward position. That’s the group for Milwaukee right now. I don’t mind that. I mean, they met him at the rim and temporarily prevented the points. shooting two. Free throw. Good. Green. [Applause] And both free throws good for Green. And the Clippers have possession. [Music] Collins outside. Pass to Zubatz. Now Beal. Down to five on the shot clock and out of bounds. Milwaukee will have it. [Applause] Here’s how Kumbo. Now here’s Turner. Throws it up high. Look at Giannis go up and get it. Yeah, you could throw that pass just about anywhere, even the top of the square for Giannis to go and get. Well, Brent, although he hasn’t won an MVP since 2020, Giannis has been a finalist every season. Well, BA, I just wonder if the voter fatigue is something that Giannis is tired of. Forget the voters. Maybe he just wants to focus on getting back to that level. Obviously, in the past couple seasons, you could say that he might have deserved one more, but this is one of the best two-way players in the league, and he’s not going anywhere. Clippers trail by three. [Applause] Beal outside. [Applause] Harden against Porter. To the paint. Tipped. Oh, stolen by Turner. Harden against Porter. Outside Green. Pass to Anakmpo. [Applause] And the call will be against James Harden. That’s his first foul. Over a minute and a half now into this third quarter action. Porter from outside, nails it from three. Now it’s a six-point Milwaukee lead. Yeah, incredible range. Porter Jr. can cash you in from distance. He certainly did there. Leonard outside. Leonard with a screen on Porter. Harden from outside. Will it go? And he gets it to go. Hitting off the back of the rim. Leonard’s got 19 points. I thought he might get caught between the pass and the shot, but he makes a great adjustment. Nakmpo. The pass to Green. Green. A screen. Mona Kmpo outside off target from three-point range. Clippers trail by four to the middle. Collins no good. The Bucks have gotten two of four shots to go since the break. [Applause] Oh, strong move from Giannis inside. And you can see early on that Giannis wanted to be aggressive. I mean, he’s taken over at the offensive end. Leonard against Anadmpo. Leonard looking around over on a Kmpo and it’s out of bounds. Last touch by Zubox. And a timeout called here by Doc Rivers. He wants to make sure everybody’s on the same page. Heat. Heat. Heat up here. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Applause] And now we’re three minutes into this third quarter of play. Trent outside. Pass to an Kmpo off the mark there with a three. And so Beal will bring it up for the LA Clippers. Six-point game. [Applause] Collins with a screen on an Ampo. Leonard good and that basket makes him eight for 14 for the game. And you know he’s so good coming off the pick and roll. But what do you have to take away? There’s so many ways Leonard can hurt you offensively. Trent from long range. Good. And Koopo gets the assist. Koopo’s got his fourth assist with that last one. Clippers trail by seven. Harden the pass to Zubat. Harden with it. the floater and a foul called on the way up. So he’ll take two from the free throw line. It’s on Kevin Porter. A master of attracting contact. Harden just takes pride in fooling defenders and getting those calls. And the closer look here at the hustle stats for the Bucks. Yeah, they’ve collected an impressive number of steals so far using fast hands to force some turnovers and then scoring on the other end. Man, scoring off of turnovers is so helpful. I mean, you get easy opportunities at the rim. It devastates the opponent. They’ve done a great job tonight at converting on those chances. And he drops a first. Harden hits them both. And here is Ana Kmpo. He’s got 19. Yiannis going downhill. And Ana Kmpo with the jam. That’s some flashy stuff from Attende Koopo there. Dicing up the D with the ball control. Here’s Harden. Leonard outside. [Applause] Over on a Kmpo and that one comes up a bit short. Milwaukee leading by seven. Down low. Here’s Turner. Nice dish and the layup goes down. Turner’s gotten his third basket of the night. Hey, when you’re as big as a guy like Turner, that’s what you’re supposed to do. Attack in the painted area. Harden finds Zubots. Here’s the guarded by Trent. Adrian Collins with the slam. Man, so impressive. Collins way up for that one. The Bucks have gone six for nine in the half. Turner passes to Green. Turner. A screen on Leonard. And here’s Green from the arc. Gets rebounded by Los Angeles. Yeah, and the defense has really got to tighten up on him. I mean, he’s just too dangerous from the three-point line. Come to me. Come to me. Here’s Leonard. And the bucket counts and he is on his way to the line. He’ll try to make it a three-point play. He’s gone two for two at the line so far. In their previous game, he simply couldn’t miss from the line. [Applause] Just think of how much of a difference Kawi Leonard is for this team when he’s healthy. He is an absolute force. Outside Porter Leonard against Hardmpo. [Applause] Shot clock at six inside. Here’s Turner. Oh, he hammers it down in the face of Kawi Leonard. Whoa. Miles Turner put that on his highlight reel. Collins outside. Pass to Leonard. over on an Akmpo and it’s good off the back of the rim and in. Leonard’s got nine points here in the second half. Trent outside the pass to Trent outside for Porter. Turner a screen on Harden. And here’s Porter outside. Bradley Bo with a rebound. And so Beal will bring it up for Los Angeles. Trailing by four. Collins with a screen on Porter. Beal the pass to Collins. It’s Milwaukee with a rebound. Honor Koopo’s got his seventh rebound here tonight. Pass to Turner. And here’s Porter. There’s a screen by Turner beyond the ark. And Porter hits from deep. Porter’s got six points in the quarter. Yeah, nice decision making. Porter Jr. can drive or pass off the pick. Harden the pass to Collins. Now Leonard Zubox with a screen on ano. Oh, and Turner with a block. A ferocious shot blocker. Turner provides a sense of security to the rest of his teammates. Just terrible defense. I don’t know how he missed that shot. Here’s Harden. Good on the baseline. Jay Harden’s got 16 points. Clearly defensive miscue there. If there’s not a body on him that’s sitting at the mid-range, that’s a defensive mistake. Porter with a screen on Beal. Fires for three. Trent shot is off. Clippers trail by five. Well, Brent, he doesn’t give you much inside the arc, but Trent Jr. is a sniper from deep. Yeah. And Gary Trent Jr. knows exactly why he’s on the floor, and that’s to shoot the basketball. So, continue to move, find open areas, wait for the ball, and then let it rip. First trip to the line for him here. Take a break. Take a break. Two shots. Big rebell. Let’s get it. Get it. Good. Good. Good. And that one misses. Milwaukee making a switch here. Anony’s checked in. And a switch here also for the Clippers. Jones has checked in on the miss. miss and he sinks the second. Clippers trail by six. Outside Harden. [Applause] Now here’s Zubox. No points so far. Pass to Leonard [Applause] and the foul is called. He missed it. So, he’s got a couple of free throws coming his way. Good scorers have that ability. When Leonard gets that deep, it’s usually a bucket, a trip to the free throw line, or both. He’s made all of his free throws to this point. Three of three. That free throw no good. Milwaukee making some changes. Koozma’s checked in for Green and Prince is subbed in for Trent. [Applause] And he’s good on the second. The Bucks leading by five. Deflects the pass. Now Beal. Give him eight. Here’s Leonard. That one’s in there on the nice assist from Beal. Beal’s got three assists in the game. And Kawhi Leonard will gladly take that look. Koosma outside. Pass to Kmpo. Turner. A screen on Leonard. Anko. A pass to Turner. Shoots over Zubots and that one off the back of the rim and in. Turner’s got 11 points. Being productive. Turner is a constant offensive threat. It’s Beal on the wing. Leonard for three. That’s Milwaukee with a rebound. Their biggest lead of the game was nine. Anthony with it. He’s got five. Turner. Screen on Harden to the inside and it’s Turner that time on the assist by Anthony and now a seven-point Bucks lead. The agility of Turner is huge in these pick and rolls. He’s hard to prevent from scoring in these situations. [Applause] Jones with a screen on Anthony Harden from outside. It’s Milwaukee with a rebound. Honor Koopo’s got double-digit rebounds now in the game. Prince against Beal on a Kmpo getting wow, what a play. Good find there by Turner. He sees an opening and swiftly feeds the ready shooter. Well, Grant, they say early in Giannis’s career. He had to work not just on his game, but his attitude. And that’s true, BA. It wasn’t a bad attitude. He just lacked an edge. The ruthless mindset that all great players have. But man, once he got that edge, he never lost it. [Applause] Clippers trail by 10. up top. Lopez back to Beal to the paint. Here’s Leonard and he got the whistle on the way up. So he’ll be headed to the line for a pair. You can’t be reckless guarding Kawi Leonard. He feels out defenders so well and exploits them when they overcommit. Well, he shot well from the line tonight going four or five. [Applause] The first one falls. Poris, he’s checked in for Turner. and Leonard drops them both. A minute 53 left in the third quarter. On a kmpo outside, Koozma outside on a Kmpo inside. Leonard defending and Koozma showing more and more that he’s becoming a playmaker on the offensive end of the floor. Don outside. [Applause] Pass to be. Here’s Leonard. No luck on that one. Good D by Anakmpo. And so it’s Koozma who brings up the ball for Milwaukee. 10-point lead. This is their biggest of the game. And Kmpo. Here we go. Jones grabs the board. The Clippers have gotten seven of 16 shots to go so far in the third quarter. Koosma with the defensive effort. The Bucks leading by 10. Shoot it. Poris outside. 36 seconds left to play in the third quarter here on the wing. Anthony. Shot clock at three. No good from outside. Clippers trail by 10. Here’s Beal. It’s deflected. And how about Koosma? The defensive energy he showed to get to that block. Jones with a screen on on it to Kmpo. Second shot opportunity and he was fouled while in the act of shooting. So he’ll take two free throws. In the game, he shot six of seven from the line. He misses the free throw. [Applause] [Applause] Good on the second one. And here is Kosma. Six points for him. There’s the triple. Fires in the triple. Koozma’s got nine. Defensively, you can’t afford to get stuck on the pick. That’s one that the coaches will watch tomorrow with that player. You hate to see him give up in that situation. And so it’s Milwaukee now holding a 12-point lead at quarter’s end. We hear teams talk about wanting to get the ball inside, but this is how you do it. We’ll be right back with you shortly. [Applause] And while we have a chance, let’s go to our State Farm assist of the game. You can count on him to deliver a few assists like this one each and every night. Sometimes it happens when the offense is struggling, but every now and then this helps with the offensive uptick right there. Great job of setting his teammate up. And as we head into the fourth, we’ll see if there’s a comeback in the works or if it’s more of the same for the first three quarters. And on the floor for the Clippers here in the fourth, John Collins out there with Brook Lopez. Then there’s Derek Jones. Then it’s James Harden and it’s done in a shooting guard. [Applause] Smith passes to Koosma. [Applause] Right here. Right here. Smith with a screen on Jones. Here’s Koozma. Collins with the rebound. Collins has got nine rebounds in the game. Boy, he’s getting it done. 13 ft out. Harden can’t hit. That’s got to frustrate him. He knows he should have made that one. Yeah, you can’t make them all. And you for sure you’ll want him taking that kind of shot. Clippers trail by 10 [Applause] from the arc. It’s hauled in by Portoris. Toris has got his sixth rebound on the night. Anthony left side. Oh, plenty of contact on that shot. Officials call the foul and he’ll take two free throws now. James Harden picks one up. No debate there. He he got hammered. Shooting two. He’s off on the first. And the second free throw is good. Clippers trail by 11. Just over a minute played here in the fourth. [Applause] Outside Harden. He buries it from three. Harden’s got 21. Dialed in from deep. Harden understands when he should look to shoot the three ball. Up top. Smith. Pass to Koozma. Over Jones. Koozma. That’s good. Just over a minute and a half played here in the fourth. [Applause] Don outside. Here’s Harden. Collins. A screen from deep. Rebounded by Koosma. Koozma’s got rebound number five here tonight. Pass to Portoris. the three ball. It’s Koozma with the miss. And Harden’s got the ball here for the Clippers. They’ve played a great fourth quarter defensively allowing only three points. Done. The pass to Collins. Six on the shot clock. Up and over Smith. Collins, no good. The Bucks leading by 10. Pass to Portoris. Back to Koosma. Just over two and a half minutes played now. Final quarter of regulation. Nails it from beyond the ark. Koozma’s got five points now this quarter. Getting exactly what he wants. Koozma just needing to create some elbow room for himself. Here’s Harden. gets it to go from 18 ft away. Here’s Anthony driving in. Oh, and there’s the whistle on the shot. So, two free throws for him coming up. shooting two. First one falls for him. Anakmpos checked in for Milwaukee.

A pass to Jones and stolen by Noopo. [Applause] Oh, and he got fouled on his way up. He’ll head to the line to shoot two. They’ll pin that one on John Collins. Great to see Attento going strong inside. At times the D has no choice but to foul. Take a break. Take a break. Two shots. No good on that one. Good on the second one. Over three and a half minutes through the final quarter now. [Applause] Collins with a screen on Anthony Harden. The pass to Collins and then it’s Collins with the dunk and just getting more and more dangerous on the pick and roll situation. John Collins with a smart play there. Koozma outside. [Music] Three-pointer. It’s hauled in by the Clippers. Collins has got 10 rebounds here tonight. So active, lets it fly again. The Clippers score. Come on, guys. Check out the tenacity. There’s no back down in this fellow whatsoever. [Applause] Harden against Anthony to the middle. Here’s an Ampo. That shot no good. Clippers trail by 10. Here’s Harden and misses it off the right side of the rim. The Bucks have gone two for seven from the field here in the fourth. Not great. [Applause] Lumpo outside [Applause] [Music] and on to Tumpo with the stuff. His arrow’s been trending up as of late and he’s been magnificent tonight.

Tremendous finish. And Tyu has called a timeout. He wants their game plan to be crystal clear at this point. Milwaukee making some changes. Turner, he’s checked in for Portoris. Gary Trent Jr. comes in for Jackson. And it’s Porter Jr. in for Anthony. Leonard’s checked in for the Clippers. Beal comes in for Dunn. Let’s check in with our reporter Ally Leforce. During that last break, coach Tyron Lou had some advice for the team. He did his best to light a fire under them, saying, “We have to fight. Now is the moment we have to come out of this deficit swinging.” Guys, appreciate the report. Ally Akmpo against Leonard. Turner. A screen on Leonard. Here’s Aned Kmpo. Money from 17 ft out. Anko’s got seven now in this quarter. And it only makes sense to give him the rock again. He put the team on his back all game. Yeah, he’s feeling it. Keep feeding him until he misses. Leonard for three. On a Kmpo with the block. Anticipation and length makes Yiannis a great shot blocker. And so on Kmpo will bring it up for the Bucks. They’ve got a nine-point lead.

And a timeout called here by Doc Rivers. He wants to make sure they’re purposeful with the game plan. [Applause] [Applause] Porter with it on a Kmpo outside. Pass to Koozma. Shoots over Collins and Koozma the bucket on the assist by Anakmpo. Anakmpo has got eight assists here tonight. Porter against Harden. Fires the three. Honko grabs the board. Honko’s got 14. Yep. 14 rebounds for him tonight. And he lobbs it up to the rim. He can’t hit that time. That could have been an easy pass and finish. Not really sure what went wrong. You like to keep things a little more simple and that was a play that didn’t quite develop the way they wanted it. uses the glass to finish the layup. Onto the Kmpo has got 37 and just executing at a high level. I mean, taking what the defense allows and putting in the work. Basketball IQ is something that gets talked about, but it’s importance to a team showing up here running plays that turn into scores. Two, two. No good on the free throw. Milwaukee making a switch here. Green is checked in. [Applause] So he comes up empty, missing both. Kicks it out to Collins. Here’s Zubots. That one goes in. Zubat’s like a flesh wall out there, blocking out rebounders and coming down with it himself. [Applause] One shot. One shot. [Music] The free throw dropped from Zubots. The effort level from Zubots is something that the coaching staff and obviously his teammates greatly appreciate. Night in and night out, he’s giving you his all. 114 left to play in the fourth quarter. Turner inside. He’s guarded by Zubox. Four on the clock. Nice shot by Turner. Turner’s got 11 points here in the second half. It looks like it’ll be a big win for them here. Time to just cruise to the end of the game and chalk up the victory for the Bucks. They had to fight for this one with the game hanging in the balance a couple of times. They made winning plays. Greg, it’s all about having a strong mentality. What’s interesting is that anytime momentum turned against them. Instead of folding, they responded with their own attack. And of all the highlights and performances we’ve seen here tonight, the one thing that stands out is what an unbelievable night it’s been for Giannis Ana Kmpo. So sharp on the passing tonight. You know, guys can get into a rhythm that way, too. And the Clippers going with a whole new group out there. A two pass to Jones offline with a three. Well, that’s not a shot he’s ever going to pass up and he shouldn’t. Despite the miss, no defender anywhere near him. He’s got to shoot that one. Here’s Anna Kmpo and there’s a whistle. He’ll head to the line to shoot two. It goes on Chris Dunn. So tough to contain the length of Giannis when he takes those strides. He’s going to make you foul. [Applause] Take a break. [Applause] [Applause] The first one falls. [Applause] Heat. [Applause] Heat. [Applause] We got this. We got this. And so he’s able to get one of two. There’s 21 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Stolen by Jackson [Applause] against Jones. So, this one belongs to the Bucks, showing that they’re the far superior team. They win it going away. I’ll tell you what, give it up for their fans. They love to watch this team dominate. You best believe they’re all going home happy tonight. And that’ll do it folks for Alli Leforce, Grant Hill, and Brent Barry. This is Brian Anderson thanking you for watching tonight’s game. And we present the player of the game, Giannis Anadakmpo.
