Nba Full Game Bulls at Knicks 2011 / 2012

[Music] see that I'm everywhere [Music] New York City is all dressed up and ready to go with a full house at Madison Square Garden for the NBA on TNT it's all presented by State Farm tonight the Chicago Bulls at 18-6 take on the struggling New York Knicks at 8 and 13. with a lot of star power in the building tonight the reigning MVP is here Derrick Rose who has been playing well and on the right Carmelo Anthony coming off argue boy his best game of the season with a 25.6 assist effort here Tuesday against the Detroit Pistons and a pleasant good evening everyone alongside Reggie Miller Kevin Harlan thank you so much for joining us what's your storyline going into this Eastern Conference battle tonight we are on Broadway so it's all about the Stars the shooting of Carmelo Anthony the dribble penetration of Derrick Rose well there is no Rip Hamilton tonight still out with an injury and there is no Luol Deng so that being said let's take a look at the lineup they have to go to their bench Reggie do the Chicago Bulls to find some kind of a starting group to go with their bench will be affected what up to match if you're gonna watch there look the power forward position Carlos Boozer versus Amari Stoudemire Amari has not scored over 25 points this game he did it 37 times last season and over the last nine games Carlos Boozer has owned the Knicks 25 points and 54 shooting averaging 14 rebound pounds as well how about the keys tonight between these two teams the Bulls right now the number one team ranked in the Eastern Conference or you've got to stop the head of the snake and that starts with Derrick Rose but they're such a big front line rebounds are going to be Keys Chicago's number one in the rebounds as well as offensive Rebound in New York in the bottom half and second chance points with those offensive rebounds Chicago's good with those put backs and you've got to guard the three-point line you know New York likes to camp out behind that three you get them in transition Chicago's very good in depth at guarding that three-point line well the most talked about player in New York is Carmelo Anthony when he plays a selfless game this team seems to thrive but that's the problem sometimes that ball stops when it goes in his hands and it's affecting the rest of the team and more importantly it start it's hurting Omari Stoudemire a lot of stick of is going on out there but look at that last Detroit game Carmelo did a good job of really good everyone else involved early looking for his shot late here comes the Knicks number 10 right now in the Eastern Conference they're two games out of the playoff picture Milwaukee is number eight Here Comes Stoudemire and Landry Fields who had an 18-point game and Shumpert is the rookie from Georgetown shot clock is down to three stottemeyer over Boozer [Applause] Brewer and here comes Rose played last night in Philadelphia and had an 18-point game before that he had a handful of games in a row with 30 points foreign [Applause] [Music] foreign Fields played well and Anthony was setting them up and here's a 17-point game and this right there and picked up by Derrick Rose Doug Collins thought maybe he was not feeling all that well last night the starters basically sat in the fourth quarter for Chicago and Philly listen to coach Thibodeau there was no life in Mr Congressman Derrick Rose gets first Basket in dribble penetration to the rim to go that's right Thibodeaux has a lot of confidence in this event and he just called his starters didn't have their legs go inside to Omar's Donna Meyer and a nice speed right there too coming from on top and carmilla trying to set people up three straight possessions for the Knicks and three straight shots for Amari Stoudemire here's Kyle corper normally Off the Bench now starting breweries the same screen by a number rebound by Carmelo Anthony missed a couple games with wrist and thumb and Ankle injuries [Applause] [Music] [Applause] that wasn't your typical fast break that was more of a secondary fast break but good fine there by Derrick Rose [Applause] that shot won't go in here comes Anthony firing away again with a three and then the New York Knicks have started this game one of six or sometimes how much Reggie the first quarter can dictate the entire outcome of the game what happens the themes established can linger throughout that's why getting off the quick starts is so important just to set the tone wife Anthony and Scott Amai with the full head of steam and held by Boozer and that's what I want to see Amar'e Stoudemire do more you saw those first three possessions and two of those he just settled for outside shots take the ball to the basket get found you're a good free-throw shooter you could put a lot of pressure on the interior defense of Chicago here's Amar'e Stoudemire and we're just three minutes into this ball game and you can take a look at the numbers last season compared with this year a definite drop in all the major categories well a lot of that is because there's not a lot of space down low you bring in Tyson Chandler who is very effective for the Knicks but everything that he does he doesn't really leave the lane a lot of outside shots for Amari [Music] Shumpert who grew up in Chicago and of course knows all about Derrick Rose knocked Away by stodemeyer Noah cleans it up and he lost the ball Here Comes Chandler come to Shepard once again stodemeyer in stride you're right also that is Amari Stoudemire aggressive as Amari is and taking the ball to the basket he is so strong and gifted he's going to be able to finish once he gets in the lane he can't settle for outside shots always gets shot clock back to 14. Boozer already has one foul here just look at through the legs one dribble in the Finish so strong talented you just can't always settle for outside shots oh man now they'll play him sometimes at the five where he's very effective of course with Chandler here now he's at the foot there's a crossover by Rose right into stoddemeier a tip in try but the big men won't go now with three on two Shumpert from Anthony and they got back Chicago did not a bounds and it'll be New York's ball oh they're changing it's going to be Chicago's ball that's a good call right there how about the nice transition defense there by Chicago just when you thought it was a three on Two and a nice move on Landry fields goals have a nine and five road record they've played 24 games overall and this is their 15th of the season on the road and there's a travel those nine Road went tied in the in the league with the Pacers and the Thunder for the most Road wins interesting listening to coach Thibodeau talk about you would have liked to have started all these games home games no practice time not even no shoot around times because of all the back-to-back games and on the road games as he called them a lot of Ballroom practices it's stottlemeyer and silver boozers so they're getting stodemeyer going he now has seven points he's taken five shots so far this damn Tony you're encouraged by the Stars that's a three by quarter who continues a rookie says for his rhythm now the other night in Washington he was absolutely terrific from way outside with five threes shooting about 40 over the last five games from three-point territory a free by stottlemeyer and they're climbing over the back Noah going over Tyson Chandler so Chicago foul Noah will pick up his first he had a two-point game last night with seven boards and he was very reflective of the entire starting unit four the Chicago Bulls in the walls yeah certainly I don't mind Amar'e Stoudemire taking that three-point shot right there especially when Chandler has the inside position to rebounding fields of three [Applause] [Music] at 18 points the other night against Detroit up and down this season he assists to Kyle corvarado Creighton the basic Downstream by Noah curl by Korver nice dump down good feed by him [Applause] I love this activity by Carmelo Anthony really engaged and looking for his teammates early the elegant score with the best of them scoring a bunches I like to keep everyone else involved so they're trying to get him to do more downloads was interesting here in Miami talk when they're looking at The Scouting Report how different Chicago's offense is and one of the parts has got more locals players well they want to take the next level and that for them is getting to the NBA finals loser has to pick up his productivity he's got to be more active and hold him to the floor fields of three late close by Carter that's another three [Music] six as he's in his first two shots from Beyond the yard Marquis started that three-point line already two threes by the New York Knicks so the defense this season is better for the next here's Corbin from the Benjamin does Korver knocks down in trouble got a shootout here partner one of these teams have Lively leagues tonight it's good to see in a season which has not seen very good shooting from top to bottom is down here is for this New York team fields to the rally or he's aggressive with this game eight points early here at this first period plus Mike dantoni is looking for activity someone from their mother three then Amar'e Stoudemire Tyson Chandler and Carmelo Anthony last four consecutive shots nice outside pump in there by Kyle Korver wow he is three or three all Beyond The Arc with nine Anthony with another pass and Chandler had it right on the doorstep and picked up by jokey Noah he had Crystal Rose you've got Derrick Rose arguably one of the fastest guys in the league coming at you either you're going to take a charge or it's all about Olean when he attacks the rim Chicago thrines right now on an 8-2 run pulls on top by four game one on TMT Aaron Davis now listed as week to week instead of day to day there's no immediate help Over the Horizon with that in mind Mike dead Tony feels his best option is to let Carmelo Anthony handle most of the point guard duties we have seen it so far tonight he has two assists and has not scored he'll see even more of it during crunch time now there are advantages Carmelo does attract a lot of attention he does pass very well when he wants he's a good ball handler he sees over the opponent and on top of that he has experience he told me before the game when he was in ninth grade he was a starting point guard for talented Catholic back in Baltimore Kevin I like that story thank you very much saying it's the first turnover right there Jared Jeffries has come in for Stoudemire just extending that conversation about Carmelo Anthony it's it's not just being a great scorer but it's being a great all-around player and we know he can do both he can score anytime he wants on the floor and I like it because he's going to command double teams and he's got to be a willy passer gets other guys involved he's going to make scoring for him Rose contorting inside Jeffrey is resigned nine points from corvo leading the 18-6 Bulls eight points from Fields nine from stodemeyer who's taking a breather Shumpert just picked up his first personal foul 340 to play here in the first quarter from Madison Square Garden finishing phase one of a three-phase renovation of this terrific building a lot of memories in here including for Mr Miller a great speed by Rose trying to get Noah going early and Noah has started two or three and Rose has got five early assists in the game for Chicago either he's going to score to finish or you see three white jerseys around them able to find Noah for the easy dunk paint points wow what a fake and shy by Anthony and he had two guys draped on him let's see what happens when Landry fields and the marsh tires are scoring look how open the middle is now because you've got to honor those players on the outside a couple dribbles you get into the paint those are such a talented score those shots come easy for Carmelo Anthony Brewer picked up his first personal foul for the Chicago Bulls and Greg was just talking about the point guard issues it's been an inconsistent season they have started everybody on this defense like it at point guard but really you know what they had their point guard and it was Chauncey Phillips and of course they had the they waved him with the uh amnesty waiver so they took advantage of that and the 10 million dollars is still being assessed but does not count but the point is they had a leader they had their point guard and villains they had Raymond Hilton here as well who's now in Portland but yeah you're absolutely right Chancey Phillips has the calming influence and it's been point guard by a committee here and now it looks like I don't know Anthony is trying to take his hand at it as the Bulls lose the ball out of bounds plus I got to figure out how Mike d'antoni's offense is going without a great point guard anyway I mean you know that that's that's the key to the engine well it's been Steve Nash for so many years when he was in Phoenix it'll be interesting to see what Baron Davis does once he comes back [Music] I'm talking before my name Tony and needing the the point guard to run that offense now he hits come under some criticism and he admits I'm on the hot seat here it's uh we should be showing a little bit more progress and we just haven't been doing it well you're 8 13. you've got one of the most formidable front lines in the game in Chandler and Carmelo Anthony and Mari Stoudemire and you've had the second easiest schedule to start Taj Gibson look at the report card this is my corner season report for the Knicks you look at all the C's and D's it's because of maybe not having that point guard to be able to facilitate all this is why they've been struggling offensively Chandler coming in as he flies off the miss that wasn't your report card at UCLA we were looking at right there well I know I mean I I just suggest just a simple it's an academically I'm sorry you know that was uncalled that was I want to let you know that at UCLA yeah he was a good player you're right Gibson big Taj Gibson had comes in uh for Chicago and picks up his uh first personal foul Tyson Chandler who was third in the defensive player of the year voting a season ago with Dallas he brings that Championship flavor to this New York Knick team Nancy anything about New York when he came people thought that they're a shoe in now they're going to be one of the powers in the East but that's what his name did the fall off so grateful for these fans or the expectations were so hot look in all fairness too no practice time because of the abbreviated system there's no way these guys could get that spacing and be able to play together so that's been a struggle roses started to a fine trying to say to stream they find the open Brewer here is portable three shove inside Chandler pushed it Chandler was pushing Noah inside that's the second on Tyson Chandler so Noah is so active on the offensive glass seems like he always has inside position on his Defender to go up and get that offensive glass there goes Tyson and here comes Amar'e Stoudemire back in the game 4-7 start for Amari with nine quick points now he clearly has the foot speed quickness on jokey Noah look at this that's beautiful that is unbelievable that is beautiful you know you and I were talking about breakfast there's only so many guys in this league that I would actually pay to go see yeah number one at the top of my list number one for the Bulls I just love his game fields he said he he was your favorite player yeah he's my favorite player in the game I just love the way he plays Gibson have led by as many as six the Knicks have had the latest greatest two New York is shooting 47 percent Chicago 63 shooting in the first quarter Noah wants him to start a mile it's in the rebound Chicago's got a rebound Advantage three no fouls to give either way here in the final 50 seconds of the first rose with eight they get six for Rose no wait I was right that was counting that was my education coming my math major yeah math major at Kansas right interesting uh-huh what was his four or seven who's had a streak there get out get out three consecutive games with 30 points or more fields to pick and roll Jeffries inside into Gibson and working on Noah's here Chicago Bulls fans have been so spoiled over the last 20 25 years and number 23 by the name of Michael Jordan and the number one by the name of Derrick Rose able to put the ball in the basket with so much easiness shot clock at two roads forget it was about second half two seconds game clocking shot clock winding down our first quarter from the garden Shepherd watching Rose [Applause] and loses the ball [Music] five turnovers now for Chicago here in the first quarter two for the Knicks plenty of time here on the clock to get a good shot off if you're New York Knicks rubber knocks it in [Applause] I'm on [Music] so Chicago shoots 62 percent in the first quarter they got nine from Kyle corporate nine points from a Morris didemeyer at the end of one it's the Bulls by four over the Knicks on TNT holding on to the lead with me Tom Thibodeau and moments ago Reggie Miller said the one player he would pay to watch is Derrick Rose without two starters in the lineup tonight for you what are you asking him to do tonight well he's our leader it starts with him he sets the tone for the team when he's aggressive like that everyone will follow him without the two starters and this nine-game road trip how do you work your bench well we got to use everybody the guys who are filling in Ronnie and Kyle have done a great job CJ will be coming in now he's done a terrific job and we feel very good about our bench guys so far Austin's done a great job Tash has done a great job we need everybody's all right thanks a lot back to you Kevin and don't forget to collect Reggie's uh ticket price yeah okay I got that thank you very much we just saw CJ Watson take it inside and just finishing up on the thought with the foul going on Tony Douglas who checks in for the first time for the New York Knicks it seems with the injuries to dang and to rip Hamilton the constant adjustment of roles for the Chicago Bulls the bench now affected because you're taking convention group CJ Watson who had a nice game last night with 20 in Philadelphia comes up with a long two right there well you're talking about the benches Kyle Korver who's the only starter for the Bulls even though he's really a and role player it's been a different Plus for the Chicago Bulls as well as Tom Thibodeaux as Lamar Stoudemire continues to score here in this first half forever strikes for dang at the small forward Brewers in there for Rip Hamilton both not playing tonight [Music] [Applause] two for two right off the bench out there with Taj Gibson quarter remains on the floor they also bring in for the first time Butler a little rookie Jimmy Butler from Marquette and as this game goes on what you're going to see a lot more too is CJ Watson paired with Derrick Rose in the backcourt two smaller guards quick energetic and you're going to see that a lot through a lot of teams pairing two point guards Bill Walker has come in Douglas is in for the New York Knicks field remains stottemeyer Jared Jeffrey is the New York five this is Taj Gibson rebound by Tony Douglas this is still trying to find his game at shoulder surgery last spring ER ninth shot and he Scoops it home for two Stoudemire has got 13. he has the top scorer in the game so far what I'm encouraged about is six of ten from the field when you don't settle and because of his skill level because of his strength when he gets into the paint I would be hard-pressed for him to take a lot of jump shots because he could put so much pressure he gets the other bigs and foul trouble Butler picks up the foul Here Comes Ronaldo balkman in the game originally a pick by New York then went to Denver now back here in New York here's Donna Meyer at the free-throw line hey fans gearing for the All-Star Game Plus get free shipping on all orders over 85 dollars tonight at nbastore.com an official destination for all things basketball look at Carmelo who starts one of five but he has three rebounds and two assists you know he's going to get his points but boy getting Fields off early getting stodemeyer going early that's it for the Knicks I hope he doesn't look at this and think I'm not doing enough scoring for my team to win when you get land refilled and Amari Stoudemire in the game early because you're going to get them late possibly for a big shot that is a huge part from the Knicks who have struggled All Season to score points because we know Anthony's points are going to come he's one of the top five scores in this league he can get points in bunches that's why it's important to get these other guys going and then look for your offense here's Douglas again a shoot first guard he lobs it nicely Stoudemire again with a shot Amari has taken 11 shots he's canned seven he's got 16 points for the Knicks and nashik is scared to come out there on the perimeter because he knows the Mario will drive right by him out of Miami has the last seven points for New York that's why Amari to me is much more effective when he plays a center position but obviously he's got Tyson Chandler down there at the start of game leaning inside Gibson couldn't get it stodemeyer claims it with his first rebound [Applause] Stanford defense was an interesting story too as we talk about Carmelo Anthony and Landry Fields he was off to such a great start as a rookie of seasons ago people thought he might even be the Rookie of the Year in the NBA and then the deal came with carmelo and it's like Fields kind of lost his way and wasn't a factor as the season while I'm down started the season when it was him and just Amari playing fantastic shooting the ball tremendously well then hit the rookie wall and then the trade happened for Carmelo and that really affected Landry and Amar'e Stoudemire because there was a lot of standing around watching Carmelo at the offensive man and then when you put that together with the lockout season with no training camp very limited practice time that's why their offensive the New York Knicks has really struggled they haven't had a lot of court time together Ronson for Gibson picked up by Bill Walker turnover number six for Chicago stottomeyer on the Run healings Gibson and stodemont [Music] is it knocked it away since now defense there by Gibson four turnovers for the New York Knicks the Sprint by Gibson at the end Watson right down the boulevard for two Counting EG Watson Off the Bench for coach Tom Thibodeaux and the bulls has been tremendous he's taking the ball off the dribble you get into the teeth of the defense take the contact pulls up by two and he has a deep bright thy bruise and a left groin issue you know he brings that catch and shoot added Dimension to this offense always moving great off screens can play defense now compared to last year without riff of course playing with Detroit you see how they divvied up the storm but now the changes although subtle are certainly there and opposing coaches are really gearing up for him well I think it's great because it's less wear and tear on their MVP Derrick Rose but adding a Rip Hamilton to me that was the one because that was a piece that was missing during the Eastern Conference Finals against Miami they didn't have that one guy who could space the floor and keep pressure on Dwyane Wade well rip Hamilton does that at both ends of the floor for that I almost thought so too Here Comes Watson who has scored all seven of Chicago's points in their second quarter Douglas defended see Gene Watson a sheep fouled inside held by a marsh Stoudemire game high score was 16. weird schedule four and five games five games eight in 12 games for New York and the first thing I think about what about Amar'e Stoudemire the micro fracture surgery on his knees the the back issues he's had how is he going to hold up in a rigorous compacted schedule like this and you just look at this we coming up you're wondering if he's going to play in all three of these games but you're thinking about Lamar Stoudemire I'm thinking about Iman Shumpert and Tony Douglas I've got Derrick Rose tonight Rondo possibly I think he's gonna play tomorrow it's a good point and then you got Darren Williams the next day you're going creaming the crop when he's talking about point guards [Music] man off the ball Jimmy Butler you are excited that your bench have played this fantastic consecutive games inside Gibson rebound Again by shot of mine he's got three [Applause] [Music] Douglas on the Fly Tony Douglas out of Florida State born in Tampa High School in Georgia it was a late first round pick by the Lakers same here to New York [Music] AJ Watson he puts it in from outside Watson has had an interesting resume as 40 played from Bruce Pearl of Tennessee he's played nidalee and increase the d-leach Chicago now before this Golden State he's been all over the map hulkman inside a sheet knocks it away turnover right there some sloppy play for the Knicks he hits Butler weaving putting it down Kitty Butler puts it through out of Houston Texas and he has just given Chicago their biggest lead tonight it has been the bench on the Bulls getting it done here in this second period Jimmy Butler in the middle of the floor taking the contact from Shumpert nice finish Chicago with their biggest lead right now let's take a look at the national TV Big Board a full Fleet of games across the NBA networks ESPN tomorrow 7 30 Eastern time New York at Boston Lakers at Denver NBA TV Saturday 6 30 right there with Orlando and Indiana Denver and Portland by the way go to nba.com fan night vote for the matchup you want to see on NBA TV for Tuesday February 7th Douglas getting a Chandler screen just coming off the bench with the floater inside as Sheik is there with the rebound with Gibson CJ Watson rookie Butler pour over on the floor that's the Chicago route right now there's the Bulls bench Ranch are plus 12 in this game 11 shots and six hits from before Mike Antonio I don't understand out of that time out that play right there in the shot by Tony Douglas you've got Amari Stoudemire who is 7 of 11 from the field with 16 points clearly and you got Carmelo Anthony coming back in the ball's got to be in one of those two guys's hands Fields is in for Douglas out of bounds we're trying with both coaches tonight about the lockout to shorten the season cram schedule no practice time which is showing up in the statistics more injuries I mean there's a lot going on and uh it's it's kind of short changing just about everybody well that's why we're seeing the extended benchmen it's here by the Chicago Bulls and coach Tom Thibodeaux and they're playing fantastic every team has this schedule not a lot of practice time to me as the season goes on who's ever standing at the end because they played their bench is going to be successful to playoff Nick Joanne two turnovers for the first floor they've got six here in the second of three Miss right there Sheikh sees it but right to stodemite that Tom Thibodeau was talking about how the coaching staff for not only his team but I'm sure for many around the NBA have prepared with such little time as you see the defensive three second he said that the Bulls coaching staff for instance did all of their preparation in the summer they're basically with the makeup of their opposing teams would be understood all that off all that lockouts in the summer going through each team knowing the Tendencies of the coaches and the name players there and he said that's when they did all their work got that out of the way I like that early prep work you didn't know who you did not know who the Personnel was going to be was Derrick Rose he knew what this Personnel he had on his own team with Derrick Rose the activity in the open court I talked about Second Chance points and points in the paint Derrick Rose Among guards second in attacking that paint area behind Russell Westbrook almost 10 a game with points in the paint Butler Off the Bench remains otherwise now with the starter Boozer of course Rose comes in the game and that's a good looking shot by Carmelo Anthony who's got six in 13 minutes but again a couple of assistions three rebounds he said before that Rose your favorite player in the NBA he's sort of countable you see so responsible it takes he takes all the roads on his shoulder being from Chicago as quickly puts it belong to and a good looking rebound by Butler and here's pizza with a fade away for the Chicago Bulls but I mean he feels so responsible for this team and he'll take the criticism I think that's why there's a love affair between the fans of Chicago and Derrick Rose it's because he's so humble that you're right it's that accountability that they respect there's so many times in professional sports athletes trying to deflect the blame and criticism towards other people other players coaches Derrick Rose is not like that when the job is not getting done he looks at himself first in the mirror and that's what's admirable about him next at 47 shooting this is rose again if Hamilton made an observation about Rose he said you know he he takes such great pride in every position every game and you can see him with his play of course uh the added pressure being a number one overall pick by your hometown that's tough that's tough a lot to deal with he's done a great job and he's the youngest ever in the history of pro basketball to win in MVP award korfer will leave and here comes Ronnie Brewer back in the game look when you've got Kobe Bryant saying there's only one guy in the league that has my same temperament and as Derrick Rose that's a high compliment coming from a guy that's won five Championship James he gets a lot of admiration from a lot of corners Yeah you mentioned Derrick Rose now humble he is how he hasn't changed he's wearing a special shoe tonight that just came out today it is the lightest ever the Adidas Adi Zero Rose 2.5 it is red they asked him why red he said not because it's the Bulls colors but because it's my mommy's favorite color oh my goodness mommy tonight he's wearing these special shoes okay you know what we see those shoes sayings I want you to get by a camera guys we can see your reptilians tonight because I know those are good looking shoes and I like them in all the great colors right but when you see shag's Footwear you know it puts all of us to shame oh yeah you can see that shoot the ostrich leg and that's the ostrich body choose only a mother could love I'm still going with the Derrick Rose Shoes I'm sorry I love you sigs but I'm going with the D Rose shoes that's what it's all about right there Knicks have taken nine free throws tonight polls have taken three injury bro enemies right there by Brewer they place it the other way we shot it he's had a series of little injuries and kind of managed him at the beginning of the season nice belt right there Chicago has the best record in the Eastern Conference leading the Philadelphia Sixers by one game and I'm still trying to poke holes in their roster because it if they had a bona fide shooter I know Korver has made threes tonight but if Butler could really shoot the basketball and Jimmy Butler and you had guys on the wings to allow for Derrick Rose penetrates and if there was more consistency out of Carlos Boozer this team would be Untouchable because of the speed of Derrick Rose Butler at the free-throw line number 30 pick overall by the Chicago team this kid is has really been a great success story his father left the family when he was just a baby his mom kicked him out of the house at 13. he bounced around from house to house a family took him in in the Houston area went to Junior College the one with the Marquette where he thrived the first round pick in the NBA otherwise Marquette Golden Eagle team with a big game against Notre Dame coming up on Saturday that's your calling that's why it's a big game correct I'll be there with Greg Anthony that's right what a pleasure oh man well they're right there [Music] it's off of New York 10 turnovers but only two in the first quarter with the next trip but they've had eight turnovers here in the second quarter again great minutes by the rookie from Marquette Jimmy Butler got a deflection off the leg there flandry fields to get another possession for the Bulls we're shooting 53 percent Kyle Korver now imagine if you're small forward could shoot like Kyle Ford you've got two guys that stretch the floor whoever leads him in scoring [Applause] which ties the biggest lead for the Chicago Bulls Stoudemire Williams he had some kind of first half Amari has hoisted 12. he's hit eight he's got points and four rebounds and again they got him started early tonight it's about the matchup at the top of the the hour between these two Omar's stodemar and Carlos Boozer he only has six points on three of six shooting Rose to the rack Noah fights for it in China Derrick Rose the hardest shot in basketball is it that little five footer on the Baseline and if you're not a true shooter or scorer you saw that was a little push shot by Derek because it's so unnatural using all your legs another turnover yeah by the Knicks it's been killing them here in the second quarter Rose the big man Galloping and Rose comes up with another assist he's got eight Noah's got six points and Chicago is rolling with their biggest lead and the MVP taking it right there rewarding the big man who's been tight inside feeding them for two pulls by nine welcome to NBA Live Kevin Durant in Oklahoma City Chicago on top 55-44 their biggest lead has been 13 in the first quarter the Knicks we're flexing their muscles with stodemeyer 18 in the first half 10 from Anthony and was assisting on a lot of plays but it really came down down to easy points Reggie for Chicago in that first half plus eight points in the paint 10 off turnovers 10 fast break points 10 nothing in the Fast Break category for the Chicago Bulls Chicago Bulls average 42 points in the paint they already have 28 and Chicago's not a great running team but you're right 10-0 with fast break points that's what the Knicks need to be doing against the Bulls so the numbers right there in Chicago who shot a little over 60 percent in the first quarter held serve with the same accurate scoring and then of course the great play of Derrick Rose he has been all over the floor as we get more now from Craig Sager well we mentioned earlier in that first quarter how Carmelo Anthony was getting everybody involved two assists and no turnovers in that first quarter but the second quarter he had no assists in four turnovers it's not all on Carmel although the team had 11 turnovers in that second quarter coach about that Tony said they look like a fish out of water Kevin and here comes Rose inside looked like Chandler was reaching in if that's on him that'll be number three the thing is they bring in chamber as a free agent when the lockout was over that is the third against Tyson and it's so hard if you're not having practice as we've talked about already to incorporate all these new parts whereas there's really been very little change in the way that Chicago has been constructed and what they're doing well look you bring in Tyson Chandler who is a Defender shot blocker defensive player with no practice time how are you going to work on spacing how is Amari Stoudemire going to be successful because he needs space down low where Tyson Chandler is and on the other side you've got Carmelo Anthony who as you look right there gets the ball mid-range and the ball sits so with not a lot of practice time it's very difficult for these Knicks offensively to get a flow really the roster has been different for Mike D'Antoni each of his four years here in some way former fashion they have changed things he was in the final year of his contract we talked about the hot seat that he is currently on he had mentioned he says you know what I'm being chased right now by the policy I just gotta hope I can turn it into a parade look this is not all of our coach Mike Dan Tony guys have to step up look at themselves in the mirror and start to play better obviously it hurts not having a true point guard someone to facilitate the offense and again I'm going to stress I hope they're not putting that much pressure on Baron Davis as he is going to be the Savior for this team because at 34 you don't know what Baron Davis you're going to get at all that was my question what what kind of Baron Davis are they going to get the winner played at Golden State he was so much a part of that great upset and here's a steal and take it in there's some nice defense and points off turnover that is a very small number so far for the New York Knicks but they come up in fact that was the first one in this quarter well you talked about Baron Davis the one that was in Golden state has a nice block there by Amara Stoudemire and the foul and Omari started Miami or are you going to get that Baron Davis who was 20 25 pounds overweight with the LA Clippers the nice dump down by Noah to Boozer that block looks pretty good you got it right at the peak maybe got a little bit of risk but what do they always saying hand is part of the ball from the way Mike D'Antoni was talking he was saying if Baron Davis comes back if at all I got that a little surprising [Applause] there's a look at the upcoming NBA schedule on TNT Denver Clippers coming up next game too from Los Angeles next Thursday seven o'clock Eastern time it'll be the Lakers in Boston then Oklahoma City at Sacramento coverage begins seven o'clock with TNT NBA tip-off presented by autotrader.com as the All-Star refers will be revealed here is Landry fields to Anthony Boozer comes up with it I'm curious to see how these reserves are announced I hope the coaches reward if some of these teams like Indiana Denver Utah Noah Philadelphia I hope they reward them instead of given a Lifetime Achievement Award to some of these guys that are on always in it happened in the NFL Pro Bowl and how sometimes undeserving players are there and the effort given oh look at him drop the sledgehammer that is Amai Stoudemire who's having a terrific game he's got 20 points in 24 minutes has not scored over 25 points this game this year has done it 37 times last season [Applause] Rose is digging in that time but moments ago Omarion this is the Amari that we saw at the beginning of last season that aggressive nature taking the ball to the hole not settling for jump shots using that strength and elevation to get into the paint the other night he sprained his right ankle that was the Tuesday game at Halftime during warm-ups by stepping on a jump rope but he did play the second half but it just goes to show you what sometimes these guys who knew you oh look at this Riding High the Magic Carpet to the rack for Tyson Chandler come up with stops now more importantly can they keep Derrick Rose on the perimeter because once he gets in there not only is he scoring but he's finding the bench Fields just picked up a foul he also just picked it moments ago his third assist that was his second foul right there of Tyson Chandler all of his points that he has scored this season have come either in the paint the nice alley for ethereal from the free-throw line I think if he could just extend his range a little bit yeah that's all that's all I'm asking for Tyson Channel this summer a 10 footer because they've got to create some type of space down there for him and Amari to work just a little pick and pop thanks for holding me back as Charles Oakley walking walked in front of me I had a flashback of him one of those screens trying to make sure everything I almost jumped over this table at him thank you New York by the way 14 fouls at the 903 mark of this third is that grinding [Music] and they got it so he has such great hands if you get the ball into the paint and either throwing it to the rim and this is back-to-back plays if they've gotten the ball to Tyson Chandler he's shooting 70 percent from the field at career high 78 from the free throw line also a clear Hut Noah picks up his third talking to Rick Carlisle last few years he asked him what was the most surprising thing about having Chandler any team he said I knew he could play all the great things for him he's such a great team and that's what Mike Antoni said again tonight he is such a great teammate you gotta have guys in the locker room and we I heard Greg Anthony the other night talk about blue guys you gotta have guys that everyone respect he's bringing a championship ring here [Applause] a bad drive by the MVP well here's the ultimate glue guy wow Derrick Rose with the three coming off the screen just going to the Baseline and where's the weak side help on where are the white jerseys of the Knicks Shumpert picks up his third Rose has got 13. through from the stripe this is phenomenal if you know a story you had three older brothers that kept him on the street and arrow growing up in a tough area of Chicago and there was great ball players themselves and really foreign [Music] [Applause] I love this offense here now by New York not settling for a lot of jump shots the last three possessions have all swung the ball side to side and got into a pick and roll they forced the ball down Baseline Amari recognizes that just rolls to the basket to get fouled of Greater concern right now Noah just picked up his fourth personal foul well now you bring in a bigger body but not as quick in Omar ashik he's not as active as Noah is on the offensive glass but he's certainly a big body Joe had had a string of fine consecutive last night in Philly in tonight no one to the bench with the four fouls 10 points six boards Rose quickly gets him into their offense and orchestrates about eight minutes to play here on the third [Applause] we had a big first half Kyle in the starting over 13. a clock at two the mismatch over chance foreign there is a different vibe when you come into this building I know you've felt it obviously it's legendary the story is the opposing players talk about and then if you play here as a home team if you're playing it for the Knicks there there is an energy in this building that you don't find in a lot of buildings you know it's fantastic when you're playing here on Broadway coming here two times a year and then you get to the playoffs possibly four or five times but when you play here 41 times a year as Boozer knocks down his fourth field goals the energy level can be great but if you're not playing bad with the Knicks at 8 13. these fans can get very restless which they have this season Nick should have their last four shot clock down in our eyes seven and a half to play here on the third New York right now 52 comfort five in a row for New York it's great at one end but can they get defensive stops team turnover by Boozer three on one Shumpert Anthony to the right 14 for Carmelo I will say this about these New York fans in the Knicks they always make runs and this fan base supports this team see if they got another one left in them yeah we walked on a little 12-6 rump right here going again Carmelo right on the money Comfort out there earlier that time Carmelo both times finding the big man fly into the rim Tyson Chandler finally energy from the New York Knicks fast break Carmelo Anthony just throws it to the sky Chandler with the Finish New York in his early February evening let's take a look now at the national TV Big Board of whole city games across the networks Friday and Saturday game catches your eye there these are the Chicago Bulls those footsteps and That Knocking is the Indiana Pacers in that Central Division only a game and a half out of the best record in the Eastern Conference a turnover by Chicago Anthony will try to navigate the other way as Chicago has been victimized there's another shot by Carmelo Anthony he's got 16 points the Knicks Ms quarter 10 of 11 from the field and no turnovers I mean it really all started when Noah picked up his third foul now there's no interior presence for the Chicago Bulls Rose tries to force the issue but no Anthony he came over the steal at one end with just a simple screen and roll at the other and pulls up for a 17-footer cut the lead to two Noah right now is on the bench with four Shumpert just picked up his fourth here is Rose at the line where tonight he is one of three with 13 points and TNT Tuesday these streets have a pulse and detective Lydia Adams knows every beat don't miss an all-new episode of Southland that's Tuesday at 10 9 Central only on TNT Chicago at halftime was plus 10 points in the paint the Knicks are now plus two just by virtue of what they've done here in the third quarter in the lane for the game have not settled for outside shot the ball is swinging from side to side and the guards are penetrating you don't have to get all the way to the rim but they're finding Tyson Chandler for those alley oops Douglas is in for Shumpert Carmelo Anthony offensive rebound Chandler back to Carmelo rebound by Boozer [Applause] beautiful shots really I mean are you kidding me 17 for Rose he turned Tony Douglas around like he was on stage he knows that's everybody Chic with the rebound those plus two and rebounding for the game Boozer foreign [Applause] Tony Douglas and this shot is from the free-throw line it's that like running Mark Jackson teardrop I love when John Thibodeau Talks Tom Thibodeau talks about his MVP guard he says he is the fastest player in my mind he is the fastest player Baseline to Baseline in the NBA I don't forget to disagree when did he figure this out he's just hammering at home Boozer he is probably 21 minutes tonight he's hit five and nine Chicago's on a six nothing run that's how they answer the Chicago Bulls over New York 72-64 weathering the storm [Music] I like being in a position where people look up to me I'm as NBA players I think we have to embrace that role one of my favorite things you know to be able to go to school see six seven eight-year-old kids and tell them that look staying in school is very important being educated is very important and that's the kind of message we try to send out to these kids I just love being able to see these kids smile and give a kid a hug and see how happy he is to see us that means the world to me Carlos Boozer who just hit that last shot five of nine he's got 12 points one of five Chicago players in double figures the Bulls Reggie have hit more than half their shots all game long it's been only in this third quarter where the Knicks now is reaching above the fifty percent we'll sing it right there Mike Angeli told us an interesting number that he uses when he tracks how successful his team is and watching the play individually it feels well he wants them in the High Teens he started off this game pretty well eight quick points in that first quarter three or four and has not shot the ball since he still has a point and some runs in this quarter so far Knicks began it on the 16-6 running for congress six nothing here's Douglas at three by Tony Douglas it's the worst looking 2-3 Zone I've seen this season that's not a staple of the Chicago Bulls and Coach Thibodeaux Jeffries Douglas Chandler Anthony Fields the New York Knick five Boozer and a Chic that was on the bench with four and four fouls over after his Rose shot clock at one [Music] Douglas Nick 73 shooting here in the third written by Jeffries for Fields [Applause] speak about it and it will come Landry Fields got off to that quick start in that first quarter at 18 the other night he's got 10 tonight [Applause] over and back by Brewer so Chicago's got 11 turnovers and four have come on Tom thibodeau's team here in the third it's a good call here shifted feet he could have called traveling or over and back seems like the Bulls every time they get up extend the lead up to eight nine points this New York Knick team is coming up with answers team enough [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and normally that would be joking Noah in the middle of that little Zone breaker right there Carlos Boozer doing a good job of making the defense guard him a sheet with a nice finish [Music] Carmelo so Anthony's got 20 starter miners got 22 10 in this third quarter author by Carmelo Anthony Carmelo's done his job early on he got guys involved now it's time in the second half to start looking for his offense and there's there's no defense for this this is just one dribble pull-up and then you go to the other side fakes like he's going up one dribble to his left it just Rises up over the smaller Brewer Anthony's got two he had missed a couple games because of an assortment of injuries who talked about the ankle he had a an injury to his thumb and with Brewer at the free throw line before that before he missed these two games he had a string of about 16 we're shooting about 32 he was really struggling and the team reflected that and when he was not playing well the team lost nine of ten games including three in a row when you're a shooter when you're a scorer and you've got a wrist injury as well as a thumb injury it affects the way you hold the basketball rotation your follow through and I think that's what he said to himself look let me take a couple days so I can get this thing healed up so I can help the team he was hurting the team trying to play through it two and a half in the third Anthony Douglas for the privilege he got a hand on it the quick releasing range and out of bounds the turnover [Applause] to look there by Korver but here now the offense is starting to stick I know Carmelo scored the last two buck the last two baskets for the Knicks but it's been one pass I would like to see him catch the ball in flow cross green down screens with the shot clock running down and make a move as opposed to just getting the ball and wonderable now watch everyone's going to start standing around ah Watson has come in for Brewer two to play two minutes defense much improved this year we've done a lot in the offseason working on Anthony right there all nice rejection by Gibson as the shot clock was going off it began with the perimeter defensive Korver who's worked on that and then Gibson inside nice series defensively for the Bulls great series defensively for the Bulls and it's the shot clock expires right there but again this is the offense that everyone is scratching their head if you're a New York Knick fan there's no flow the ball sticks it doesn't move you know this third period there was drives there was alley-oops where's that Brewer back in Rose taking a breather timeout taken by Watson bulls have led by as many as 13 Nicks have led by as many as two two-point game in the Third on TNT [Music] office Carmelo and stottom iron Tyson Chandler we all sat there boom boom boom and those chairs he pointed shut the door into four of us had a toss and we talked about Solutions talked about the way we can kind of get this thing back in gear well not only talked about solution but you pop in a tape or two and you show them look at our spaces this is what we can do better guys you guys are going to be the faces and the leaders of this team you guys have to work this out to create that spacing and create those opportunities for one another foreign [Music] they have a fresh 24 second on the clock it's really anywhere under 13 or 14 seconds and it's not like the Cavalry is going to come in and rescue this team they've got salary cap issues and they're tied up with the big three here for a while they traded a lot of their assets when they sent that group out to Denver Colorado and crew along with Raymond Felton and Wilson Chandler is over now playing in China mozgov look at the ineffective Mike Bibby who is kind of played like he looked right there yawn he's he's not really had much of an effective Jeremy Lin next to him they had to sign him when there was an early season injury to Shumpert you look at the point guard situation hopefully Baron Davis comes back with some kind of shape to help these guys out at 34. I'm not quite sure Wilson taking it in fearlessly balwano Chic over the back [Applause] they've been even got Carmelo here is what they got in return Hawkman Chauncey Phillips is here he talked about him back in the first half in the role he had the leadership look who's all just remained here since that trade only Boston and Carmelo fields initially and Jeffrey's got a hand on it [Music] I wonder who this is foreign it's a fresh 20 it's a fresh clock because Hoover had possession of it when he was throwing it back you're wondering why there's a fresh time on the clock so the Knicks it missed their last four as they get this inbound to Anthony he's got 20 and 22 from Stoudemire 17 by Rose leading the Chicago Bulls Douglas Jeffrey CJ Watson [Applause] that's right Jeffrey's the rebound it was the second unit in that second period that played very well led by CJ Watson against the glass Carmelo Anthony with 22. in fact he and Sotomayor have 44 of the 75 New York points in the game no fouls to give here in the final 35 seconds [Applause] that is a New York foul Chandler very demonstrative in his actions after that call is Jeffrey's picked up the phone I've got to see the body from the body here Jeffries look like he went straight up right into the chest though Jeffries and here's the reaction by Tyson Chandler that's a good call Kyle Carver at the free-throw line for the Chicago Bulls who says he has now for Chicago more of a green light to fire the three and for difficult positions than he had up in Utah well they want him creating space because he's such a good three-point shooter in a really long distance two-point shooter have that green light while he was in Utah Philadelphia he couldn't just come down off the break and pull up Tom Thibodeau wants that from him roses in Rose Watson and group Dodge Gibson in the contest [Applause] I have a feeling we're going to see CJ Watson and Derrick Rose a lot in this fourth period All-Star starter Carmelo Anthony Douglas Jack nicely and volleyball and kept Alive by Jeffries in the final 16 seconds [Applause] [Music] Watson Defender double by Gibson Jared Jeffries Rose good if it goes and that takes us to the conclusion of the thirds the Bulls he got a two-point lead at the end of three on the row they're second to back to back 17 points tonight 10 points in the half number two among guards in that category here he is diving inside contorting for two he has been fished with his offensive game back to New York where the Knicks have cut 11 Point halftime deficit now to just two going into the fourth quarter and Mike what's the key to your offense here in the fourth quarter well Melo distributed the ball pretty well he scored the ball we uh pushed it up and transition our Rhythm was a little bit better and we didn't turn it over but it's not really not real hard all right thanks a lot thank you Kevin he's right they didn't turn it over one turnover New York Walker is in for the first time in the second half Shumpert joins him there's Tony Douglas got him iron Jeffrey is the New York Knick fine Rose Gibson Noah playing with four fouls they've got CJ Watson in there and also Jimmy Butler number five for the Chicago Bulls not talk at six Noah button picked up by one to shoot yeah he got it that desperation shot or did he know that the shot clock obviously was winding down he is he's got 20 points Derek row is the 20. [Applause] his first field goal of the fourth period come on jumper from Oak Park Illinois spring early in the season slow start of the Year Rose just about lost it right there that's a turnover for Chicago they've got 13 for the game [Music] Bill Walker played at Kansas State oh and he picked it up inside and cleans it up niftily nice pickpocket there by side on Noah 24 for Amari [Music] [Applause] followed by stottlemyer reaching in that's number three and amongst Dynamite how about Jeffrey's keeping this ball alive here in the first place on the shot Miss by Stoudemire which allows Amari to come in on the backside for that finish Rose will be at the free-throw line three of five tonight eight of 18 from the field he's got a double-double with 20 points and 11 assists right now a look at the upcoming NBA schedule on GMT presented by Burger King give me a Whopper right now man see the games All-Star reserves will be announced next week again I will stress I hope they take care of some of these teams and have started this season like Utah Philly Indiana even Milwaukee with that big win last night Brandon Jennings played fantastic for the bucks [Music] [Applause] two minutes gone here in the fourth rose with another shot on the Fly It's Not Your Mark Jackson teardrop it's more of like a running push-up comes off the pick and roll from Noah and just pushes it right over the shoulder of Amari Stoudemire seven and a quarter for Rose Derrick Rose seven points in the last minute 38 minutes of play getting it done at all angles the floater the desperation three with the shot clock running down and again getting into the lane with that running floater push shot right over the big of the Knicks an aspiration three terrific shot by Rose Here Comes Douglas Shumpert into Rose Stoudemire over Gibson Omare has got 26 which is a game high 22 from Anthony and 24 from Derrick Rose first game over 25 points this season goes right there nine of 20. that was a nice time out by Mike Dan Tony nice deflection by Chicago 14 on the shot clock and about three minutes gone here in the fourth quarter when you come out of that timeout nice set play by the news look how the ball moves from side to side and that's all you want from this Knicks offense and then Amari with a wide open 17-footer move the ball from side to side Carmelo is in for a walk timeout timeout New York Knicks coming in 8-13 number 10 right now in the Eastern Conference against the number one team currently in the East the Chicago Bulls a timeout in New York [Music] we're getting ready in Los Angeles with the Denver Nuggets Gallinari had taken on White Griffin in CP3 and the Los Angeles Clippers Illinois dropped 37 on his former team the Knicks a couple weeks ago in this building double overtime wins for the nuggets Steve Watson just picked up a quick foul for Chicago that's number one look at Mike D'Antoni who was offered the Chicago Bulls job and the New York Knicks job at the same time and shows the Knicks because it paid more and so the second choice is Tom Thibodeaux the reigning as we mentioned before the reigning coach of the year and he's the reigning coach of the month in the Eastern Conference Western Conference coach of the month is Scotty Brooks he also was a former coach of the year in the NBA fairness to Mike D'Antoni he didn't know that they were going to get the number one pick and Derrick Rose I think he may have thought differently he had the choices again Tony Douglas was reaching in and picked up the foul 8 35 to play here in the fourth quarter Andrew fields to check back in that's the second on Douglas and here is Butler at the free-throw line for the Chicago Bulls they're 11th back to back and this is their 15th throw game in 25 games played this year they've played there's many if not the most Road games of any team this season so far if you looked at the schedule the way it started it was the Bulls and the Lakers with so many games early and really the injuries that Derrick Rose missed five games double digit Miss of games will Rip Hamilton six games lost by luvalding and they found ways to still lead the Eastern Conference and win for 18 and six it's a shame that and I don't know any of the ins and outs of the schedule because what they had to do with miraculous putting in 66 game schedules for these teams 124 day footprint had they put more games at the end of the schedule as opposed to the beginning so that you could almost like extend the training camp event that was interesting for Coach Thibodeau and his thoughts about that half the start of the season the first month regular in this part they have very hectic regular schedule later on kick off the guy's bodies probably would have adjusted better Butler Noah with the rebound number seven and could now put it back in yeah you got to go up stronger than that they have gotten fouled but you got to make sure they see all Shields with a little sleight of hand who'd any move inside he comes up with two now Landry Fields has 12. he is approaching that area where coach Mike Antoni says this team usually wins when he is into the teams this game is here to be and even though the Knicks are at home this game is here to be stolen for them a team that is struggling 8-13 Losers of nine of their last 11. have not played particularly well especially versus plus 500 teams the game is here to be had Gibson picks up his second personal foul Mrs Fields [Applause] Chicago by the way plus nine points from the free throw line you can see what the Knicks have done against some of the better teams in the NBA face this season Lake close there by Chandler and Carlos Boozer has hit one from outside 14 points in 24 minutes [Music] they just know one another they don't care about the ballroom practices by coach Tom Thibodeau ain't know where everyone is on the floor because of number one those oh oh now he's got 26 26 points and 12 assists for Rose who has nine points including the three here in the fourth but 12 assists have been so important for Chicago yes [Applause] [Music] it to the Lane [Applause] on this 28 points in the specialty goggles it's the high injury in Phoenix that attacks retina [Applause] Noah is usually very effective in the middle of the floor I wish he would look for his shot right there oh how about that Derrick Rose Up and Under and through the rim and he's so nonchal out of nonchalant about him but he does it all the time oh 28. it was a big time Collision Butler and Tyson Chandler there's a reason why you win MVP awards when you make moves like this you get into the paint there was three white jerseys around Derrick Rose and just look at the offhand I mean off the glass splits the double one two three and throw in Tyson Chandler just for change oh that is fun regardless of who you root for you've got to admire what he can do Landry's fields for three fields well he's got 15 he is in that area he's done his job Amari 28 point has done his six minutes left you're down by four now this is when Bella takes over rose again with a big time bomb put on a number one Jersey and it's starting to torch and taunt the Knicks once again 31 for Rose started by it's here at the other end with a long two this is the way we started the game with both of these teams here in the fourth quarter [Applause] Rose [Music] [Applause] Chandler with a flash two Watson I like this combination with Derek Rose and CJ Watson they both can put pressure on the opposing guard they got 43 points between them 31 for Rose now Watson with 12. Chicago's 70 percentage fourth quarter here in mccartan tonight [Music] [Applause] you've got to be sure you're gonna come up with it now this is an NBA game yes it is 22. [Applause] see they don't want to get the switch with carmelo guarding Derrick Rose number three Stoudemire pulverizers one right down the throat and let's take a look now the top two presented by Chile Derrick Rose has been fantastic for the Bulls 31 points with that nice little scoop how about Amari stuff hasn't had a game over 25 points this season 32 points on the evening two of the many stars in this game four and a half to play both teams shooting over 50 percent [Applause] from a lot of teams this has been enjoyable Butler Hooser shot clock and one fire three seconds that was out of a break too you have a boozer had a shot and Noah was anticipating trying to get in there and get that offensive rebounding position [Applause] new Carlos boozers you have to take that shot you gotta know game situation yeah here we are getting on the clock approaching forward to play about a third of the way through this season [Applause] [Applause] points seven goals eight boards now for Joe Kim bulls have hit their last five is the lack of that experience point guard comes in to effect Cruiser there he makes up for it putting in the Miss on the shot by Butler boost 16 points on 12 shots [Music] well the result inside that's a foul on Chicago with 321 to play in the fourth tell you what coach Tom Thibodeau has a lot of confidence in his rookie at a Marquette is Jimmy Butler you are in in crunch time guarding Carmelo Anthony one of the Premier scores in this game you want to know why the Bulls bench is going to be there at the finish line is because Thibodeau is developing his bench [Music] Butler there [Music] tucked away [Applause] off of New York but I mean here's the point guard now is in such a dire need for the nips and it it's not so much the point guard which would be great to have but if you're Carmelo Anthony you just can't come off a pick and roll and great defense by Jimmy Butler and then you just throw the ball with stottlemeyer and then he shoots there's got to be a little bit of flow to your offense on the left hand let's take a look moments ago at Baron Davis is not near coming back back to Way by Rose and take it back by Sheffield to slides in [Applause] 99 by 13. Knicks had an early two-point lead they're running this pick and roll with carmel and Anthony because they don't want Carmelo Anthony to guard there has been Lane for Butler a rebound by Amar'e Stoudemire he's got 10 and a double double 32 and 10 tonight for Amari Anthony is nine of 21. Noah defense Stoudemire [Applause] [Music] Chicago [Applause] new scene Spike Lee he wants the Knicks to do the right thing get the ball down low a State Farm Bulls holding on to a three-point lead well if you're Mike D'Antoni you have decisions to make you know they're going to run the pick and roll with Derrick Rose they're trying to get Carmelo Anthony into that switch if they do switch it and he's doing it to Jimmy Butler Butler has to make a quick move either take that little give me in the lane or find Korver for a wide open shot in the corner out of Myers got a game high of 34. rose has got a Chicago High 31. shot clock down to eight foreign splits the defense scores the triple picked up by Shumpert now the New York Knicks Fields Big Time defensive play Butler the other way [Applause] Jimmy Butler had Carlos losing wide open underneath that was a pretty good wall in that last position by the Knicks on that high pick and roll Anthony by the way 0-3 here in the fourth Butler with a sweet 15-foot Jay when you get the switch with the Carmelo Anthony you throw it over Butler has to make the decision is Anthony it's his first of the fourth and 24 for Carmelo [Music] [Applause] with Jimmy Butler it looks like the Knicks want to trap and get the ball out of Derrick Rose's hands so again the rookies gonna have to make a move Rose knocked away Inside by Chandler New York had a foul to give Rose taking it in and the Knicks will get it down by three with 40 seconds to play in regulation watch the block here again well here's now all the white jerseys around Derrick Rose as he gets into the paint something we hadn't seen all game now offense for defense for Thibodeaux you bring in Taj Gibson Rodney Brewer for Korver [Applause] [Music] shot clock at 12. timeout New York [Applause] since you're late pretty good defense here by the Chicago Bulls look at all the red jerseys around Carmelo Anthony time out next foreign ERS right now they'll have the ball and as Ernie said 12 on the shot clock 28 to play in regulation well if you're in New York you necessarily don't need a three right here obviously if it presented itself yes but you've got Carmelo Anthony who could get into that paint area and finish and if you're Chicago you can't give up second shot opportunities where the Knicks could be able to Dish the ball back out for a wide open three fields to inbound Anthony [Applause] one point game here comes Rose got a foul Noah drawer and finally tagged by Carmelo [Applause] that's the fourth on Carmelo free throws at about a foul to give Chicago so 16.6 the play 10 minutes took that foul now we've got another timeout and you're wondering why it's a one-point game everything is even the Bull's the number one rebounding team in the league and how about the Knicks up by one second chance points something that's uh the Bull's strength the Knicks lead that as well Knicks have not LED this half we were tied at 75. that was late in the third last New York lead was back in the first quarter with about four and a half to play 17-16 you're Derrick Rose you want the basketball in your hand you gotta collapse against the Miami Heat on Sunday in Miami when you miss those two free throws Hoosiers come in for Butler Jeffries his interest out of mind core forgot the ball 13.7 foul goes on Shepard for the fifth time and Korver a terrific free-throw shooter at the line [Applause] three and three tonight 14 points came out on fire actually in that first quarter hitting some threes Chicago at the free-throw line tonight plus nine was Jenny's a great career free throw shooter at 88 but you can see this season 74 percent from this right for Kyle Corbin [Applause] so the Bulls 18 and 24 from the line Knicks eight of 12. this is [Applause] each team with a 20. 20 second timeout taken by Mike dantonio New York we're in their final 13.7 to play now you got to start looking for a three because if you go for it too foul and you make us a free throw games you can't Advance the basketball because you're out of time out you opportunity to draw something a flare against my caution versus the Bulls if a shot does go up you got to be sure you secure the rebound because it's always on those long rebounds and the ball is kicking back out a team gets those second shot opportunities [Music] nothing with 24 Stoudemire with 13 Fields down 17. those are the top three scorers for New York tonight 31 for Rose and 16 apiece for Boozer and Corbin and you can see tonight at least Fields three of five Beyond The Arc Fields is on the floor right now Carmelo Anthony certainly could knock him down but I would not be surprised if you see some type of pick and roll and draw in amari's data Meyer is taking this shot he's very capable of knocking down this shot and most big guys are reluctant to leave the paint area fields to inbound Brewers in for Watson [Music] a three the rebound by Gibson the quick foul on Chandler 9.3 to play pretty good play we talked about Amari Stoudemire being able to knock down this shot and how big guys are reluctant to leave the pain he saw a longer took Noah to realize that Amari stottlemeyer the play was being ran for him that's a pretty good look wide open looked like it was on target for Gibson first trip to the free-throw line tonight clinics now from 3.0 4-15 Chicago by the way shooting for Tom Thibodeau in this quarter from the line six of seven so they made some clutch free throws down the stretch and this is this remember no timeouts for the Knicks you've got to go Chicago does have a 20. I'll just get some and a quick foul on Brewer line [Applause] does he make the first and try to miss the second and get a try and tip out or does he make both of these and they come up with the foul again and hopefully they'll miss one free throw and they'll only be down three a lot of scenarios here that are going through the minds of both of these coaches Anthony tonight 404 from the line so he gets one and now your strategy kind of comes in [Applause] it you extend the game too also what you found so here's the problem here he's going to miss this on purpose or is he going to make it he's going to play the free throw game oh God [Applause] that's Chicago's final timeout the reason why you call that timeout now you can advance the basketball up so our gamer you've said right there when Chicago will inbound coming into the top team in the Eastern Conference for the record of 18-6 and a nine and five road record the Knicks who have lost nine of their last 11 although coming off a win here Tuesday against lowly Detroit 8-13 they kind of look at this little span here tomorrow night Boston men back here against New Jersey as as a way to kind of spin their season around a third of the way through this truncated year look this is the chance for them also too we've got the Celtics the division rival that they're somewhat looking up at in the Eastern Standard standings here we go quick foul here that you're hoping if you're the Chicago Bulls you make free throws you're walking out of here with a victory attention will inbound the ball for Chicago Noah Rose Korver and Boozer out there for the Bulls Chandler will be on the ball on the inbound Rose second off the clock basically so Derek will go to the line that's good yeah five of seven from the strike and of course Sunday he was faced with some interesting free throws against the Heat with a little more time on the clock and Municipal Fields picks up his third foul nice to quote afterwards too he took it personally took it personal all on his shoulders it was my fault and if you guys down won't happen again Carmelo Anthony with his free throws on the other end so you get the correct way and a lot of time to get the ball right now loser checks out Gibson back in here's the free throw because if he makes it you obviously you know you got to go for three he misses this easier to get a deuce Brewer comes in for quarter I don't know what kind of shot they got to take carmelo for the tie Chicago wins a tough one in the garden tonight and the Bulls go to an East Conference best record of 19-6 and the New York Knicks have now lost 10 of their last 12. tonight where Amari scores 34. Anthony scores 26 but 32 from Rose leads the way he had 15 in the fourth quarter the final Try by Carmelo yeah maybe one dribble more down probably been a better look for him yeah all right Craig Sanger take it away while 32 points and of course the last one with that free throw after what happened Sunday in Miami what were you thinking about at the line and how important was that I miss one thank God I hit this one no but um I think that we played the all right game uh we played that we lost to a great team yesterday we just tried to redeem ourselves with tonight 32 points a lot of them with a high degree of difficulty how do you weave and find your way and get those open shots over all those guys coming at you that's something I'm used to I guess um that's playing in the park playing in the gym trying to shoot crazy shots and thank God they'd be going in a lot of injuries to a lot of teams viewers as well how have you been able to overcome those injuries that have the best record in the East uh we're still playing man I know we're nicked up a little bit we got a couple guys that were missing but the guys that stepping in they're doing a great job we're coming in doing what they have to do so that it seemed like we're not missing anyone out there all right thanks a lot great game they're both pulled out no apologies tonight from Derrick Rose back to you Kevin one but a leader terrific player and the Bulls keep rolling in a very compressed season they shot over 50 percent for the game finishing it 53 percent a devastating loss for the New York Knicks who now dropped to 8 and 14 and home here in the garden four and six coming up next it's the nuggets and the clippers for Richard Miller Craig Sager the rest of our grape crew including our producer Rod Nirvana director Lonnie Dale Kevin Harlan saying good
