THEY THINK SOME PLAYERS WHO WERE

PRO LIVE IF I CAN LIKE YOU BEING

READY MADE FOR THE NBA.

BUT YOU HAD TO WORK

OF FAME CALIBER PLAYERS.

>> Bernard: YOU KNOW WHAT

HAPPENS SOMETIMES, PLAYERS

BECOME COMPLACENT.

YOU HAVE TO CONTINUALLY SET NEW

LIN BACK IN THE GAME.

FIVE POINTS, TWO ASSISTS IN THAT

FIRST QUARTER.

DANGEROUS BOUNCE PASS.

GETS TO ANTHONY, ANTHONY A

OUT THERE.

THE DEFENSIVE ROTATION DOOR ON

THAT.

LIN MAKES HIS MOVE, DRIVES

INSIDE.

HIGH ARCING LAYUP.

COUNT IT, OUT OF BOUNDS.

AND THAT'S THE ATTACKINGHELP.

OPEN.

NOBODY ROTATED TO HELP ON

STUNNED.

LIN TO THE BASKET, FLIPS IT

>> Mike: SHUMPERT ON THE

>> Mike: JUST OVER TWO MINUTES

HAVE GONE BY IN THE FOURTH.

KNICKS HAVE TRAILED MOST OF THIS

GAME AS

OF THIS SKILL SET DOWN LOW IN

THE BLOCK AND MELO WAS ABLE TO

SCORE OFF OF THAT ONE.

>> Mike: PARKER FALSE DOWN. POS

THE BASKETBALL DEFINED BY

CUTTING LIN TO THE BASKET FOR

ANTHONY LOST IT.

GOT IT BACK, KICKS IT OUT TO

NOVAK.

NOVAK AN OPEN THREE.

PUTS IT IN.

REBOUND VERY STRONGLY.

THAT WAS A CLOSE CALL RIGHT

THERE.

I THINK HE GOT AWAY WITH ONE.

>> Mike: SEVENTH TIME.

THAT'S A GOOD NUMBER FOR THE

TEAM THAT'S DEAD LAST IN

TURNOVERS.

SHUMPERT ON THE STEAL.

SHUP PERT LAYUP.

NO GOOD.

THE UNORTHODOX WAY HE RELEASES

THE BALL AT ALL DIFFERENT PARTS

OF THE FLOOR.

>> Bernard: HE DOES A NICE JOB,

PARTICULARLY WHEN HE'S DOWN IN

THE LOW POST.

SHIELDING THE BALL WITH HIS

BODY.

>> Mike: NOVAK FROM WAY

DOWNTOWN!

NO HESITATION. IN

THE THIRD.

>> Bernard: YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

AN IMPORTANT GAME.

IF YOU DON'T WIN THIS GAME ON

YOUR HOME FLOOR AGAINST A TEAM

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BEAT, YOU

HAVE TO PLAY STRONG STROKE

WITH CONFIDENCE RIGHT NOW.

YOU HAD A LOT OF NIGHTS LIKE

THAT.

IT HAS TO FEEL SO GOOD WHEN

DAVIS A LITTLE OUT OF CONTROL.

YES, THEY DO.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS A

CONTINUATION.

ANTHONY OUT TO LIN.

LIN FAKES, DRIVES.

THE RUNNINGM

CONTRIBUTION.

AND CERTAINLY A WAY TO BEGIN THE

SECOND HALF OF THE SEASON WITH H

LIN WITH THE DEFLECTION.

AND STEAL.
