SportsTranscript
00:01Mitchell, an early look there. Obviously, he ended up passing to Shane, getting right back.
00:05Flag, that's blocking the basket, and getting the first points of the game.
00:11So much more slowed down this year. Everything just seems slower, more simply.
00:16But 19 years off of it looked like it. Hartman Stein with a basket inside.
00:20Mitchell gets past Gafford, and then good help by Flag out to Kenrys Williams, and a great Smithers throw.
00:27And we'll be seeing a lot more of Kenrys Williams.
00:32Here's Irving, here's 15, he's 34, he'll try a three-pointer, and he answers.
00:39Now, Hartman Stein kicks it out to McCain. Shot clock inside at 10.
00:43McCain working, and Irving scores on the baseline.
00:48OKC has really made it a point as well to attack Kyrie, to get it from Gafford.
00:52Good defense by Mitchell, shot clock at 3. Flag spinning into Trapman.
00:56And Gafford, from the corner, sweeps us all on a three.
00:59Take a picture, you probably won't see that again this year.
01:02Making sure that there is the other superstar on the other side of the floor,
01:06is something that may come to mind.
01:07Nice pass by McCain, and the floor from Hartman Stein.
01:10And second basket.
01:12The club they're dealing with, and so far, very smooth operation here in the first four and a half minutes.
01:17Flag for good range, knocks down the shot.
01:20Woo! Flag!
01:24Now Flag working on Gildas Alexander, out to Irving.
01:27Same spot for Raleigh, and he drives it on the train.
01:33Hey, that's probably the biggest question by Perman's.
01:35If you and I can't lie together, let's save it.
01:38It'll be two points along the baseline.
01:41The Thunder, one of four unbeaten points last year.
01:44Houston, Memphis, and Portland, the others.
01:46As Portman, swishes through a three-pointer.
01:50That's his sixth of the season in just three-plus games.
01:54And not good.
01:55Shooting more threes, that will actually open up his drive, because players are beyond hard.
01:59Count the basket for Mitchell and one.
02:01A chance at a three-point play.
02:05And steals and blocks combined.
02:07Tied with his teammate for the play.
02:09Washington, comes a three.
02:11That's five triples already for the Mavericks.
02:14Three, he'll just get to his spot, and elevate him in for his favorite shot, which is the mid-range.
02:19Shot block and two, watch it, and traffic into the floor.
02:22That's five quick points for him.
02:26Mavs have five three-pointers.
02:28That's their third two-point basket.
02:30Mitchell powers it in.
02:31Off the window, his second field goal.
02:35Went to the finals a couple years ago, before the Dodgers.
02:38But he's passed the Johnson by Walter Clayton.
02:42And Johnson, actually, on the beginning restriction, he was a nine-pick in the draft.
02:46And Johnson, actually, on the beginning restriction, he was a nine-pick in the draft.
02:50A high feeling, but he will only play around 15 minutes, because of his shin feet.
02:56Watch their screens.
02:57They have such good angles on their picks, and they really do a great job of getting their ball handlers
03:02open.
03:03Mora can also do that pretty well, with a rejection.
03:07He started his career in the UCLA.
03:10And caught the basket for Sturtz, and a three-point opportunity.
03:15Now, that's something that they have proven to be successful at.
03:19So, look at the school's share.
03:21I think the shoulder of the bigger responsibility is, Kyrie gets to a nice fadeaway along the baseline.
03:26I still think this would be great for their young players.
03:29I know Digno is very excited about some of these young players and what they can do.
03:33They should get to an easy bucket.
03:36Bird, Will, and Russell.
03:38That's the company SGA is trying to join.
03:40Here's Black, the three, got it!
03:42That's a second three.
03:44And then Mora racing down the floor.
03:46Essentially, he might be in the midst of two generational players right now, between him and Hutchie.
03:51Look at the thing that he has done.
03:53He is in rare air, just trying to take as much time off the clock.
03:57Because when that shot goes up, you don't want to give OKC much time to run a play.
04:02Irving throws a number three.
04:04He's three for three from behind the arc and four of four overall from the floor.
04:09Yodas Alexander runs into flag.
04:11Two seconds left.
04:12The lob, bang the bucket by Mora before the buzzer sounds.
04:18Mark Dignol, the head coach of the Thunder.
04:21With a lot of guys out for you tonight, how does the steadiness of Shea kind of keep you guys
04:25going?
04:27We've seen him for a long time.
04:28He's obviously one of the more stable guys going.
04:30So he's done a great job.
04:31We're off to a good start.
04:32Get another good quarter here.
04:34Flag and Irving off to a good start as well.
04:36How do you try to limit their effectiveness?
04:38A lot of his jump shots.
04:39You know, some of the tip your hat.
04:41We just want to control when we can't.
04:42Mark Dignol, thank you.
04:43Thanks for that.
04:44Five of seven combined from behind the arc.
04:47And Dallas lead by three.
04:49There's Risa Shea from Stratton.
04:51The shot three is good.
04:52If he keeps the shot clock, that's eight threes already for the Madison.
04:57So as you don't often see, these star players lined up against each other on defense as well.
05:03Nodas Alexander again from mid-range.
05:05He's got six points.
05:06Let's go back to George.
05:08George, great interview with Coach Dignol.
05:10I understand he said something to you prior to the interview that might interest us here.
05:13Yeah, Dave, as you see the shot there by Mara.
05:16So there you go, Jeremy.
05:17You got a fan in Coach Mark Dignol.
05:18Oh, I'm glad I'm top of mind for him.
05:22But that is the event for Dignol.
05:25We always enjoy talking to every coach in the league before the game.
05:30But he also said that's because of the leadership on the team.
05:33Yeah.
05:33He talks about how the next day, the next morning, in his gut,
05:38Chad Holmgren, SGA both missed about 15 games and they still ran in the whole three combos.
05:43Might be more of a challenge this year given that Sam and Telly will beat the Thunder last year.
05:48Certainly are the favorites still in the lastest.
05:50Sturt scores again.
05:52Now Irving and the other one backs it home.
05:54What a start for Irving.
05:55He's got 13.
05:57And we think Shane do a lot of grievance and responsibility.
06:00That's down on the three.
06:01It's got three.
06:02I got 10.
06:03I got 10.
06:04And that's really ticked off J-Tall.
06:06He was bad about the season at the break.
06:08I mean, it calls the timeout.
06:09This is unsustainable happiness.
06:12But he just realized that's literally their personality.
06:15And she does give up a backdoor for an and-one.
06:18Too much.
06:20No, just Alexander with the step through.
06:22Sasser knocked it away.
06:23Oh, he's here.
06:24He's rejected.
06:26SGA gets it back.
06:28The shot clocked out of six.
06:29Coming up one side of the floor.
06:31And Irving immediately going to the other side.
06:33Just in case that ball gets hit.
06:35Well, it's first point to the second quarter.
06:37He's got 14 now for the game.
06:39OKC missing out on so many defensive players.
06:42They're really struggling to protect the ball.
06:45It's really having a great start to this game.
06:49Hardenstein and Gapper just really giving all-out effort.
06:53Trying to get every rebound.
06:54Now that's Sasser's brain is in some free transition.
06:58That's J.A. off the floor right now.
07:01McCain.
07:02Oh, nice use of the left hand on the right side of the rim.
07:06And the key to that entire possession.
07:08And the key to that entire possession is his pace and his speed.
07:13McCain getting the ball and just bringing up the floor before the defense is dead.
07:16Sasser on the pump.
07:22Mitchell on the pump.
07:23That's good.
07:24But A.J. Mitchell with 9 points.
07:26And Daco talked about the luxury of having Jamie Williams in Hardenstein.
07:30You can see Hardenstein really being a facilitator.
07:34Mitchell gets a 3.
07:35He's got 12.
07:37Here comes the Thunder.
07:38And it's a 5-boy game.
07:40Time out Dallas.
07:42He's got position on the smaller defender.
07:43But he's through it from the post.
07:45There's mismatches everywhere on this position.
07:47I want to keep the puts up.
07:51Tomorrow, you guys got to get in the game right now.
07:55With the defender on his head.
07:57A.J. Mitchell able to score.
07:59Mitchell's got 14 in the first half.
08:03Mitchell has the last 7 for Oklahoma City.
08:06Shot clock down to 7 for Flag.
08:08Nice pass on an 8.
08:09Count the basket.
08:10Goal 10 by Eric Stockman for the easy 2 points.
08:13He's got 5 assists and no turnovers.
08:16McKean all the way to the bucket for the easy layup.
08:20Goal 10 by Eric Stockman for basketball.
08:25A.J. Mitchell's got a 4-8 shooting.
08:26A.J. Mitchell's got a 5-9.
08:28And now in double figures.
08:29He's averaging 27 per inch.
08:33McKean drives.
08:34And knocked out of bounds by Irvin.
08:36Nine on the shot clock.
08:39Swerves back and forth between Kyrie and McCain.
08:45Irving in the paint.
08:47With a rise up and score,
08:49Edward Mitchell is at 15.
08:53Irving gets it quickly to the front court.
08:56Christie on the target.
08:57And it's three.
08:59From the preseason, Max Christie has kept it simple.
09:02If there's any bit of space,
09:04I think they could actually have challenges, potentially.
09:08Mitchell back for a touchdown hit by Daffert.
09:13To Mitchell.
09:14Under 0 for 6 on the floor here on the quarter.
09:17And they're down nine.
09:18Defense again is tied by Christie.
09:21And now a ball ball on the Thunder under the basket.
09:24It's going to be on Torridge Williams.
09:26Portland and Memphis.
09:27Portland and Memphis play tomorrow.
09:30This block in and holding down the rim
09:32and pushes the lead to double figures again.
09:397-0 run right now by Daffert.
09:42Washington with a challenge on Gildas Alexander.
09:45Getting a label one day to block on the other.
09:47Lead for Max 53.
09:49When Paul and Tennis got research,
09:51it attacks the basket.
09:53Oklahoma City calls a timeout.
09:55The lead is 13 to the Mavs.
09:58The 9-0 Mavs run their largest lead of the game,
10:01the 13.
10:02Flag inside.
10:03And Flag up to 18 points now in the night.
10:06The game is looking so easy for him this year.
10:09Because 19 years of age,
10:11the first pick in the draft in 2025.
10:13And he'll drive again.
10:14Nice pass.
10:15Gaffert wins the slam.
10:17Six assists for Flag.
10:18Flag with a hot start from behind the arc,
10:21but now just two for seven.
10:23Sturtz couldn't get the ball away on a step back,
10:26so Mitchell will try it and nail it.
10:28And we asked him what's the biggest difference.
10:30He said,
10:30There's no time to practice.
10:31We can't even teach in practice.
10:33And that is the reality is,
10:35Mitchell gets a nice layup.
10:37In college, in the second half,
10:38he'll be up with 10 minutes to go,
10:40and it's over.
10:40It doesn't happen that way in the NBA.
10:43Gildas Alexander for three,
10:44and he thrills it.
10:46This is exactly what we're talking about.
10:48Thomas and Chep Holmgren out right now.
10:51As the Thunder currently constructed,
10:53they also are going to miss Case and Wallace
10:55for a significant time.
10:57Can they win a championship?
11:01Layton gets Johnson.
11:02He scores against his college teammate, Mara.
11:08Nine-point game, 3.40 to go in the third.
11:12There's Cooper Flag.
11:13He's got 20 points.
11:14Drives into the teeth of the defense.
11:16And scores at the end.
11:18I did, indeed, choose to go back home.
11:2411-point lead.
11:25Arnstein going all the way to the pocket
11:27and getting the layup.
11:32Laying up the floor quickly.
11:33The first lane just goes to Riesa Shea.
11:36Riesa Shea just playing super hard tonight
11:39just on both ends of the floor.
11:40You can just see him bolt in transition
11:42getting easy lay before the defense can get set.
11:44Oh, that's a nice chance.
11:45Riesa Shea hanging with the left hand
11:47and dropping it off the window.
11:49Now Flag penetrating.
11:51And hits the jumper over the smaller defender.
11:55He's got 24 points.
11:57Again, high.
11:58Particularly in the third.
11:59Spinning his flag.
12:01Getting deep in the lane again.
12:02No-look pass.
12:03Farting for three.
12:04Got it!
12:11And getting the basket is this.
12:13And count the basket.
12:15Gold sendings.
12:17And Shea had been out of breath all night.
12:20Shea gives us Alexander.
12:21It was just two for ten from the floor in the third.
12:24And with all the injuries they have,
12:25it's hard to have an off night if you're SGA.
12:28They only let Kyrie play four minutes in that third quarter.
12:31And that's something as minute restriction.
12:33You're always asking the question,
12:35what happens if the game goes down to the wire?
12:37And so I know they're saving a lot more minutes for him in the fourth quarter.
12:40Two Mavs are on the floor.
12:42So right now it's three on five.
12:44Sasser.
12:45That's a lot of pain in scoring.
12:48And that is not worrying about the defenders getting to an easy layup.
12:53Turnover by the Thunder.
12:54Reese Shea pushing tempo.
12:56Sasser.
12:57Corner three.
12:58We're good.
12:59Reese Shea's stop.
13:00He's getting up into a rebound.
13:01It's the best.
13:02It's being lived out by his players.
13:04Get the ball out.
13:05Get going.
13:06Get to the corners.
13:07Get easy shots.
13:09Basket by Mitchell.
13:10Imagine if the former number one pick by the Hawks two years ago,
13:13Zachary Reese Shea,
13:15can get an offensive green
13:18with his new team
13:19because you know you're going to get defense.
13:21There's offense.
13:22A three-point for Reese Shea.
13:24And then the point double,
13:26what was anticipated going into the year.
13:28Hardenstein stops.
13:29Goes tuck it under with the right hand.
13:31And a finish.
13:33And Mavs immediately get the ball out
13:35and trying to get down the floor.
13:36I really feel OKC have been more tired today than they normally are.
13:40Multiple guys looking quite exhausted.
13:43And again,
13:44that's a emotional tone.
13:45Let's carry get the block.
13:47They're going to try to get the handle.
13:51Martin in the corner.
13:52He'll rise up.
13:53Catch the three-pointer.
13:57In the 23 minutes that he's playing,
13:5939 to 16 bench points.
14:02His favorite down.
14:02Irving's three no good.
14:04Gafford with the offensive rebound.
14:06And the foot back.
14:07His mother tried to block it.
14:09But his contribution
14:10and the level of battle that he's playing
14:12is very high.
14:13Got nine rebounds,
14:14a couple blocks.
14:15His mental scores.
14:16Now 25 points for A.J. Mitchell.
14:19Shot clock down to six.
14:20Irving.
14:22Four to three.
14:23Martin hits another one.
14:25The first one that was from the left side.
14:27Now he drills it from the right corner.
14:31He's still down 15.
14:32It's quite a time.
14:33Five and a half left.
14:35I agree with you.
14:36I think especially with the next game
14:37until Saturday,
14:38right now,
14:39too,
14:39as Washington can't believe it.
14:41He's going to be without
14:43two starters.
14:44Maybe for the whole year.
14:46I'm just going to play
14:48by Johnson there
14:49to go to the top
14:50and slam it back home.
14:52And you still got to
14:53earn it and prove it
14:54and be good.
14:54But,
14:56yes,
14:56definitely who you know helps.
14:59Dallas,
15:00with a big win
15:01and a
15:02have a big win
15:02I think
15:02I'll
