04:40as they trail only by one
04:42Ward
04:47stands back and calls the play
04:49block block
04:51they thread it inside
04:54now the only way they could have made a clear path to the basket
04:57is if they'd have put down landing lights
04:59bad play by the defense there
05:02they swing it out left wing
05:05Campbell throws it down off the alley-oop
05:08they narrow the margin and now trail it by one

05:19to eight
05:20three
05:21thunders it through
05:23they'll need a three-pointer to tie them
05:25they're up three
05:26play your post defense early
05:30Davis
05:30just across midcourt working the offense
05:34fills
05:36you know he's not only developed physically as a player but mentally as well and that's important
05:40let's know how to capitalize on a hot streak and how to ride out a cold spill
05:44it's about keeping focus Bobby
05:45Johnson
05:50they're racing it back
05:53they drop it inside
05:54there it is
05:58he has two
06:04the Knicks have it and can lead this game
06:07the Knicks are maybe being a little too patient this time now
06:10oh he's tall but he looks even taller when compared to the man who just uh excuse me
06:15tried to guard him they need a bigger guy to face him
06:18rod that's that'll happen all game lessons with someone bigger on him
06:21first for Campbell picks up his first personal
06:27Ewing throws it in
06:30charging in
06:32he now has a total of seven points
06:34play your post defense early

06:55they have the fast break
06:57this is big
07:07Campbell
07:07as a former coach
07:09that's the kind of player I dream about
07:12someone who can take it right to the D and still score
07:14see the ball
07:18Ewing
07:20Mason passes the ball
07:24close out right
07:26Phils dishes the ball
07:32Jones
07:36he was left all alone for three
07:38they made a mistake and they paid three points for it
07:42the Knicks can tie it up this trip down court
07:46Johnson can't fade away
07:48ties the game
07:52the Hornets see it tied up but can go up here
07:57it's hit loose
07:59and it's out of bounds
08:00Knicks ball
08:03Johnson inbounds the ball
08:05that'll do it for the first quarter at the end of one it's
08:0817 to 17
08:24pretty close shooting percentage here Rod
08:26that was a tight quarter and they were both getting equally good looks at the baskets
08:30we'll see if they can keep it up
08:32Campbell tosses it in
08:35Jones
08:36Ewing yanked down the defensive rebound from way up high
08:40that's his fifth rebound so far
08:43they push it up the court
08:44Houston
08:45the Hornets continue passing it around
08:49the Hornets continue passing it around
08:53Phils from the perimeter
08:58he's been instrumental in showing rookies how to play a complete game
09:01what we're seeing here is a mismatch of not size or speed but experience
09:05and he taught by example on that play Rod
09:07i love watching this guy play it really is a treat
09:10boy that pass was nowhere close and it bounces off the court
09:16Houston brings it in
09:19they pass it inside
09:20the basket is good
09:22that's goaltending on the defense
09:23that was close but it could have gone either way
09:26the ref though says it was golden
09:28Mason in bounds the ball
09:33Houston puts a body on the ball handler
09:35that was old school defense right there like we used to play
09:38get right up in the shooter's face don't even let him look at the basket
09:41yeah no way he could have sunk that the guy was smothering it
09:44Phils D's up on the ball
09:49here he is
09:51Houston draws his first whistle of the night
09:57Phils gets the first to fall
10:03he gets them both
10:05Johnson throws it in

12:49he's simply just too tall
12:51Jones
12:57long range
12:59they're looking for the easy transition bucket
13:02Ward moves to the hoop
13:05he's got four points
13:11the clock is down to 38
13:18the Hornets are having trouble penetrating the defense
13:21you know coach isn't happy with that D

14:42let's take a quick look at some of the halftime stats
14:45and see how they stack up
14:48what a show did we see last quarter just look at those numbers
15:04rod both teams just lit it up big time you don't see this kind of play very often at all
15:09Campbell passes the ball
15:10the Knicks are down but have the ball the score 39 to 35
15:22he stacks the board and he leads the team in rebounds great positioning he knows just where the beef of the board
15:29take it
15:34films from long range they've got numbers
15:41the Knicks using the pass to their advantage
15:44oh see now he's just rolling bob he's scoring at will
15:47ball ball ball ball ball

16:17they're going to the big guy
16:21hey close out outside
16:25Ward picks up his first personal
16:28here's the key to guarding against the perimeter shot
16:30tenacity that's exactly what we saw right there Bobby
16:35Davis gets the first free throw
16:46it's in and he's their top scorer so far
16:48he's heated up pretty much from the opening tip
16:50watch out this could be a huge game for him
16:53Ward gives it up
16:55there's the whistle and it's out of bounds
16:59next ball
17:01Sprewell inbounds the ball
17:04Campbell contests the ball

17:09you the man you the man
17:11the Hornets are maybe being a little too patient with the ball
17:16it's good
17:16and they've been out shooting their opposition pretty handling
17:19they've got the rhythm Bob
17:20Deere is playing confident
17:22Johnson falling for them
17:26Ward just across midcourt working the offense
17:31Johnson
17:33Campbell dishes the ball
17:35the Hornets are passing it around but the defense really making them work
17:43mid-range
17:45that's it this lead is growing even more
17:47it sure is and they're dominating both sides of the court right now
17:55Johnson spots up

17:59they feed the post
18:04he has 13 points in the game
18:10Ward stands back and calls the play
18:12the Knicks keep that ball moving

18:23great performance he is single-handedly taking control of the glass
18:26and I love it
18:28Mason gives up the ball
18:35Jones
18:37mark it down
18:38another three in there
18:39lining it up in the perimeter
18:40you simply can't leave those guys alone out there or they're just going to keep lighting it up
18:48Springwell
18:49gets the friendly roll
18:51they narrow the margin but are still way down
18:53the Hornets have the ball and the lead 54 to 39
19:01the cross-court pass
19:05Campbell
19:06he's got the team high up to this point
19:11Ward gets the play from the bench
19:20they swing it out left
19:21he hasn't been shooting well all game long
19:25this just has not been his day
19:27he's making it real easy on the defense
19:30the Hornets pass it around looking for the shot
19:36Campbell puts it up
19:38Ewing is hit with his first personal
19:45they'll get a rest
19:47you know they've got those lines painted for a reason
19:50a good player knows exactly where he is at all times and does not slip out of bounds like that
19:55Johnson brings it in
19:57they feed it inside
19:59straight through
20:01they cut into the lead but they're still down large
20:06Jones still working on his man
20:09will get the whistle and it's called out of bounds
20:11corners
20:14and that's his 15th point of the game
20:17Mason throws it in
20:18I got him, I got him
20:20Philz accelerates
20:22that's his 15th point in the game
20:27Ward at the controls
20:28he's setting up the offense
20:29defense. They go cross court. Knocked loose. It's taken away. Johnson guards the ball handler.
20:43Davis jams it through. Ward holds onto it. They pass it cross court. They pass it out
20:54left. Johnson a medium range shot. Drain the 11 footer. Jones setting up. Phils is good
21:08from long range. Ward squares up. That's it for the quarter and at the end of the third
21:16it's 63 to 43.
21:24He's back in the game and he looks a lot more juiced up than he did a few minutes ago.
21:34I think a little downtime did him some good. I think he did too Bob. Let's see how he does
21:38after the rest. Ewing is now on the floor. Brings it in. They move it left side. Johnson. Old
21:48guy still has a couple of tricks up his sleeve Bob. He's logged a couple of years in this
21:52league but he shows no signs of slowing down. Yeah if that's like him really are the glue
21:56for your squad.
22:02Jones. Can't find his range. They're looking to run the court. No he didn't do that.
22:09They rotate it cross court. Pulls up. Johnson pulled it down off the miss. That's his first rebound
22:26of the game. Houston. Mason wins the rebound battle and pulls it down. That's his eighth of the game.
22:35Sprewell draws his first whistle of the night.
22:38Shitting two.
22:41Phills gets the first of two.
22:44Perfect from the line on this trip. LJ tosses it in. The Knicks have the ball but are losing 65 to 45.
22:57Great game. Great game. Great game. Great game. It's out of bounds. That's six turnovers so far for them.
23:03Cornered ball.
23:05Campbell inbounds the ball.
23:08He's on. You got it.
23:12Has a good handle on the ball.
23:15They hammer it inside.
23:20Ewing. Man on man defense.
23:28Shot clock at five.
23:31Nice try.
23:32Uh oh.
23:33Get that out of here.
23:35Play tight. Play tight.
23:39Phills for three.
23:42It could be.
23:44Rejected.
23:45Mason drives to the basket.
23:48Take care of the ball.
23:50Here it is.
23:52He has 20 points in the game.
23:55That's okay.
24:04Jones waits for the right time.
24:08Passes.
24:11Davis.
24:14They've got the fast break.
24:17They throw the ball out of bounds.
24:19Turn it over.
24:21Ewing will sit on the bench.
24:25Cornered ball.
24:27Campbell brings it in.
24:29Jones stands back and calls the play.
24:33They pass it left side.
24:36To the rack.
24:38It's good and Roddy's really started off on the right foot.
24:42It's nice for a guy to be able to come out hot like that.
24:44It can really boost his team.
24:49Ward at the controls.
24:51He's at midcourt.
24:52Phills draws his third missile tonight.
24:55First team top out.
24:57Houston connects on the three-point opportunity.
25:11Campbell tosses it in.
25:14Davis still working on his man.
25:17Campbell squares up.
25:21Yes!
25:22And he's the number one scorer for his team.
25:25What a performance from this fan.
25:27He's been shooting with confidence all game loss.
25:29And he shows no signs of slowing down.
25:32They cut into the deficit a bit.
25:34But they still trail by a bunch.
25:36Two minutes.
25:40Jones tosses it.
25:47Davis.
25:48Here's the Sega player of the game, Rod.
25:51And he deserves it.
25:52He's had an outstanding game, as you can see.
25:54And look at the points he has.
25:56Unbelievable.
25:57There's no stopping a shooter when he's on, and he was on tonight.
26:00They threaded underneath.
26:02They cut into the lead a bit more, but are still down by a bundle.
26:06It's stolen.
26:07Dudley picks up his first personal.
26:13That's his first personal foul.
26:15Campbell throws it in.
26:17Mason, the dribble drive.
26:23They swing it right side.
26:29Davis.
26:31They're trying to get the easy scores.
26:35Switch, switch, switch, switch, switch.
26:38Incoming.
26:39Good for two.
26:40Nice shot.
26:41And they're trying to claw their way back into it.
26:43Yeah, but they better hope their claws are sharp,
26:45because they still have a long way to go to catch up.
26:48Jones gives up the ball.
26:51The Hornets are working their half-court offense here.
26:55Six on the clock.
26:59Six on the clock.
27:00They needed to take that foul to shut down the clock for just a little while.
27:04It buys them a little breathing room time-wise.
27:06Third team foul foul.
27:08Fields makes the first.
27:10Here they come on the fast break.
27:16Dudley.
27:18They feed the post.
27:22The mid-range shot.
27:28It's good, but there's not much time left.
27:30Yeah, looks like it's too little too late, Bob.
27:32They need to do this earlier in the game.
27:34Jones tosses the ball.
27:37The Hornets are a little frustrated.
27:39They're looking for just the right shot.
27:41Mason draws his first whistle of the night.
27:44That was such a costly foul and completely unavoidable.
27:47I swear I just saw one of their coaches' hairs turn gray.
27:51I should know.
27:53They feed it to the post.
27:55Jones gives it up.
27:58This could be nasty.
28:01Denied.
28:02They're off to the races.
28:04They feed it inside.
28:05He has six points in the game.
28:07It's our game.
28:13The clock is down to eight.
28:15Campbell drives to the basket.
28:17And they now lead by a dozen.
28:22Three seconds left.
28:25Spree passes it.
28:27That's the Hornet.
28:28That's the Hornet.
