meet once again and they a championship round at a sold-out AT&T Center that's where it all begins in Game one let's hear some final words before they took the court make multiple happens on the offensive end you want a sweat morna's gonna take some life out of you so you got to make sure as a coach you monitor that oh I Leonard took his time there after the initial Drive that's his first bucket of the game he was in foul trouble early and Mike what I'm I'm concerned about his inch or whether 3/4 touch it [Applause] seven-point lead for the San Antonio Spurs there are 11 three-pointer of the game for 28 Miami point Leonard puts the exclamation point on it they're shooting 59% from the field that's their 13th 3/4 and Ray Allen will just dribble it out the San Antonio Spurs take Game one of the 2014 NBA Finals [Applause] Leonard drives knocked loose but a foul because he's already banged up his helter-skelter way of playing nice quick pass out to Leonard they've got eight assists already and that's on nine till goal I mean that they're doing a great job of picking this heat defense apart and making the proper decisions mr. simple players and the finish when I was growing up in Martinez we had lowriders all over the place leather dives on the floor it takes it opaque four-way splitter down the lane running layup excellent defense from Bosch super aggressive also best about LeBrons or D waste left knee is Berger makes a jump shot D Wade late in that half Mike seemed to tweak that troublesome left knee he says this leonard left wide open open whoops from downtown ellis furs back up by one five to shoot for Parker Parker kicks it out DL not a letter for free [Applause] and that's what you were talking about earlier in the game Mike and Kawhi Leonard a much-improved shooter from when he first came into the league nails at three to put them up for Kawhi Leonard off the dribble drives down and he gets fouled looked like he was about to lose the ball in his left hand but he got pumped and they're gonna call it in the act of shooting Leonard again aggressive count and one go two times with the ball and two times taking it to the rim with successful results for San Antonio and Leonard a [Music] good attack again by Kawhi Leonard drives the gap read with another steal take them back finds Leonard Danny Green with a huge defensive impact here in the opening minutes same play two straight steal and Leonard with the easy hoop he's a guide is still trying to find himself with you when you find yourself on the floor with Tony Parker Ginobili and Duncan dimers who has struggled so far nearly seriesin for much of the playoffs Leonard again shooting and nails the three-pointer letter now has ten points in the first four and a half minutes and it came up with a Big W on the road in Game two games looking for a whistle instead a turnover warm is shot in San Antonio gets it back you see LeBron getting into the paint that's good defense while Linda hits the basketball and Tim Duncan straight up one thing on the other end Parker looking Leonard another three putts it in hi Leonard 13 points already we're still in the first quarter with five and I have to go no hesitation at all then Parker trying to fight over screen call for the foul that's the third team foul on the Spurs first on Walker San Antonio has to play laia then again that big driving gap the three-point play opportunity get out on the break after a great steal by Danny Green and then shoot without hesitation one of his two threes but the crazy thing is Mike as good as Kawhi Leonard has been LeBron James has 14 while pass out to Mills Patty Mills finding Leonard in the corner that's afraid Lenard most points he's ever scored in any quarter in his brief career and it's in Game three of the finals I got a we should put the whole quarter on SportsCenter as far as off every single possession who gets it back fakes of three James closes out on a Leonard shoots and hits Kawhi Leonard 6 for 6 from the field he's got 18 points and the heat neither another timeout as the leaders balloon to 25 well he got rid of it early then Erie space immediate decision to come off the pick-and-roll rise up with five on the shot clock and knocks it home says shut up mark Jackson Leonard takes it away from Wade who thought he was hit here comes green Leonard and a blocking foul ball on Chavez and one of the continuation when it came before Parker who was quiet early while his teammates took over very often in the first James finds a cunning wait inside the Lois Lois you know Paul did defensive play down low his size of his hands are legendary they talk all the time about biggest pair of hands in the NBA rajon rondo is another guy with huge hands and Mike that trade that they made three years ago on draft night for a beloved George Hill they needed to get bigger Goshen strips picked up by Leonard seven to shoot Leonard continues his fabulous night now 7 of 8 from the field and told ma given the Spurs critic the most impressive thing about that they identified while in they didn't just go get a pick they identified house well that's the thing with draft picks it's one thing to have the draft make the crowd wanted to look like something there was some sort of violation unless the ball came out of Leonard's hands which was hard to see from our angle that's what mining McCutchen was saying that the ball was loose fighting over screen staying connected and forcing the issue how about post up deep in battle him get him off his bot and then stay into him trust the help behind me is a tall task and then when you don't battle them fall them that's called read Foster the pass over the top and then it's a foul but it's no prob but cook once again one-on-one defense no direct line drive stay down without foul and force them to give the basketball up that is beautiful beautiful defense by violent Anderson is on James now on Duncan I should say Leonard finished his stroll on the right hand [Music] they got Ray Allen on the switch and Kawhi Leonard attacked a bad angle close out green launches it up to Duncan touch pass Leonard blach with power mine and there's the passing that we saw in the first half from San Antonio he's Duncan screams Leonard on the drive kicks it back out Parker for three puts it in Tony Parker from downtown off of Leonard's penetrations five to shoot pass inside for Duncan to long Allen releases down the other end Allen was a lab he missed it Ginobili the rebound and then got pumped by way and Ginobili will shoot free throws Allen looked like he had a layup but obviously the defense there altered the shot and he couldn't put it down [Applause] good job again Mike why linen not giving up on a play Leonard backs in banks it in 28 per Leonard the most he scored in his NBA career regular-season or and playoffs in o Blazers nearly traveled Leonard with five to shoot pulls back Leonard with two to shoot drives off-balance draws the foul on James as the shot clock was expiring and that's five fouls on LeBron James as Leonard hits that nose was a second-round pick of Portland his first two years with the Blazers didn't play much at a season in China and then signed as a free agent Bosh pass down low deflected by Leonard knocked loose and picked up by Green Diaw has a lot of talk last couple of days about Chalmers struggles Leonard's beautiful feed to Duncan Bosh got knocked down Duncan tripped over him by being the oldest at 38 Green three-pointer Danny Green knocks it down at a timeout called [Applause] [Music] Travel is Birdman in the game bumps in the Duncan Leonard drives trips falls down gets it out to Ginobili Ginobili to Parker one to shoot Parker just gets it off in time and nails it great hustle there as Leonard able to dive on it and kick it out somehow to Ginobili James his back by the way was just the bathroom break at the rim mrs. Leonard the rebound players crashing to the floor Leonard inside layup off the mark for the foul make plays and seek rotation Anderson black from behind by Leonard on the second attempt the foul is Bonner banged into him James lost it off the dribble Leonard quick quick pass ahead to Mills Battier in pursuits of Patty those two quick off the turnover San Antonio he did it in Game three and puts

in the lockout you Leonard flows to the basket back up to 24 for 15 points 12 boards for Leonard one of the lockout years if you were ever to don't try to zone a team I'm not sure this wouldn't be the team to try to don't even with their passing and shooting marker spins and gets pumped when Parker's gonna go back to wine he grabs his right leg Patty Mills nearly stolen Leonard gets it back Leonard on the drive tried to jam it got fouled Leonard looking for the tomahawk instead I'll get a trip to the free-throw line and big hands wanted a big finish Leonard's jump shot 18 points for Leonard 12
