NBA LIVE! Los Angeles Lakers vs Detroit Pistons September 11, 2025 | 2025 NBA Season Live 2K
Heat. Heat. N. [Music] The forwards are Thompson and Harris. At the guard spots, Wilson Cunningham and Ivy. And it’s Duran in at the five, roaming the paint. Now here’s Ivy after Luca Donuch’s miss. Bounce pass from Ivy for three. Harris rebounded by DeAndre. [Music] Now here’s Donic. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] And he drops it in from the low post. Gotic has got the opening field goal of the game for Los Angeles. And here are the Pistons. [Music] Cunningham left side. Puts up a deep three. The shot by Ivy. No good. And here’s Reeds outside. Duran pulls it in. Detroit’s gone. 0 of two from deep here. [Music] Pistons passing it around. Harris against Hatchima [Music] with some arc and Harris lays it up and in. And it does a world of good for them to have Harris getting busy inside. Gives them that inside out edge they’re looking for. Now here’s Donic to the wing right side. Hachimura buries it from three-point range. Just solid with the jump shot. Hatchim helps your offense in a number of ways. In that case, spacing the floor. Cunningham outside. The screen from Thompson. Harris outside. Good. And the assist goes to Cunningham. Harris has got five points so far. Nice answer back there. love to see the competitors and when you give up a three, there’s always this instinct to try and get it back immediately. A nice shot by and Donic used to creating kind of a luxury for him to simply catch and shoot. Right now, let’s take a second to catch up with Ali Force on the sideline. Well, earlier I spoke with JJ Reddit. Much of our discussion centered around Kate Cunningham. He said that’s their catalyst. They look to him to control the pace, to read the defense, and to make the right basketball play, which he usually does. He is very tough to neutralize. Kevin, back to you. All right, Ally, thank you so much for that. Now, here’s LeBron back to Donic. [Music] Pocket six. [Applause] Banked in off the glass. He has seven. creating space. Donic will move defenders around. Cunningham against Donic. Cunningham dishes it to Ivy. Thompson sets the pick for Harris and play stops. Whistle on what looks to be an illegal screen. When a pick like that is questionable and creates that much of an advantage for the offense, you have to blow the whistle. Though often times illegal screens fall into a gray area, but that time he got called for it. Now here’s Donic. He’s got seven. Reeves with a screen on Harris. 20 ft out again. The Lakers. And really can score from any area. His arsenal is very impressive. Pass to Ivy. and Thompson kicks to Harris. Now Ivy Cunningham right side. The Pistons need to get off a shot here and Turan slams it in. Just a fantastic decision maker. Cunningham giving it up in that twoman set. Jaylen Durren has certainly a forced him in this NBA. He’s he’s a nightly double double. Well, he looks like a bouncer at a nightclub, but you forget how young this guy is. If he keeps improving like this, Kevin, he has a chance to be one of the premier bigs in this league. I was going to say the same thing about you, but I’ll I’ll call you a Greek god as opposed to a bouncer in a bar. How’s that? I prefer the Greek god description. And the basket by Harris. Great awareness by Thompson, wanting to find his open teammates whenever he can. Reeves outside. Back to Donic. The three-pointer no good. Pistons trail by three. Executing to perfection right now offensively. I mean in total sake. Good luck trying to stop him now. Now here is Harris. He’s got seven and Duran slams it in. And that’s exactly the type of pass we expect from a guy with his vision. Now Donic hating a screen on Cunningham. The three for Donic. Offensive rebound from deep. That doesn’t go either for Donic for Detroit. They’ve gone five of seven today so far. Nice shooting to get this game underway. Cunningham’s shot is off. And that was almost a block. Still did enough to alter the shot. He didn’t quite get a hand on it, but he did enough to affect the miss. Now here is Harris. Pass to Ivy. Here’s Duran. [Music] Shoots over Himura. Duran no good. Not sure what what the D was doing there. Clearly a breakdown. You can still afford to give a guy like him that good a look. In the corner. Ivy with it. Thompson outside. [Applause] Eighton against Cunningham. The 15-footer. And he hits the jump shot and the Pistons lead by one. Effective from the mid-range for Cunningham. It’s about shooting with confidence. And so JJ Reick will call a timeout. He’s going to take a minute here to [Applause] [Music] the Lakers now. They trail by one. Vanderbilt finds James. [Music] Donic outside gets the three-pointer to fall. Donic has got a couple of threes now in the first with the Lakers. Harris outside [Applause] to Cunningham. Good work there as it goes. Cunningham’s got the game tied up here for the Pistons. And this is the beauty of Cunningham. He can score from anywhere on the floor. That length obviously a huge advantage. Now here’s James. Nothing on the board. Smart deciding where to go with it. Just five on the clock. The Lakers moving the ball around. Vanderville misses and it’s Harris with the ball for the Pistons. Cunningham outside. They get the rebound. Thompson outside. Fur sets the screen for Thompson and it’s Eightton with the rebound. Eightton’s got four rebounds now tonight. And Tim, the improvement for the Detroit Pistons keyed by acquiring veteran floor spacers. Uh you you must like that aspect. Am I right? Yeah, I love that, Kevin. the fact that they have a star offensive player and they went out and added guys that can create more space for their best player and also can become a great defensive team. Now Thompson after Marcus Smart missing on that last three-pointer takes a step back. Ivy with it. He’s picked up by Donic and that one is good. Oh, interior defense doesn’t hold back against Ivy, but he just explodes right by them and gets it to go. Vanderbilt a screen on Thompson. Here’s Leon outside for Smart. Here’s Hatton. Another miss. Boy, they had their chance there but couldn’t get it to go. pass to Harris over Vandermilt. That’s short off the rim. That’s great shot selection, just poor execution. If you’re going to take those mid-range shots, you’ve got to knock him down. LeBron can’t get it to go and and typically he has the touch to finish when he’s in tight, but not sure on that possession. [Applause] Smart against Cunningham. Back to Harris. It’s stolen by Vanderbilt. Donic against Ivy. 08 in position. It’s stolen by Duran. Ivy passes to Dur. Off with the layup. The Lakers trains [Applause] [Music] outside. [Music] [Applause] 114 left in the first quarter. Nice shot by Smart and he likes to get in a rhythm early. Nice triple. And so the timeout here by JB Vicker [Applause] 109 left here in the opening quarter. Avert against Donic. pulls up on the elbow and he gets it to go. And it’s clear that Levert has tons of confidence, especially in his ability to drain jumpers. [Music] Smart passes to Larabia. Donic against Flipper. Here’s Vanderbilt. No good from outside. Detroit’s gone. Just one of four from three-point range here in the first. Now here’s Levert. Defense is right there. Shoots the three. It’s rebounded by Donic. Lakers shooting a lowly 30% to start this game off [Applause] [Music] [Applause] outside. Smart. Here’s Larabia. No good on the three. One quarter in the books and it’s been a close one so far. Pistons ahead as they wrap up the first quarter on a 14-6 run. We’ve got more in store for you right after this. As a result, they found a lot of success. Here are the five Detroit has to start the second quarter. We’ve got Isaiah Stewart. Carris Levert is out there with Marcus Sass. Then there’s Holland and it’s Robinson. And at the three, the small forward. You know, Tim, regardless of where he’s played, Caris Lever has always found a role. Well, there’s a lot to like Kevin. He can defend as well as create offensively, and that means he’s going to be in your rotation. Five on the clock. Avert kicks to Robinson. A three. They get it back. Stewart and the rebound paying off as they pick up two on the second chance bucket right there. And a better box out saves them two points there. Nothing will drive your coach crazier than what you just saw. Lack of focus, lack of effort. Now here’s Smart. Pass to Labraia. He nails it and we’re tied up. Well, the defense needs to be better there. They gave way too much space. It’s time to send it over now to our reporter Ally Leforce. Thank you, Kevin. The Pistons are growing. Coach JB Vicker staff said, “I appreciate the work that the guys have put in, and I’m proud of what they’re becoming, but we have more work to do. We’re still taking steps. Our guys have improved. The team has improved, but we’re not finished yet. Back to you guys.” On the Ry. Hey, Ally, thank you very much for the report. Here’s Vanderbilt after the basket by Detroit. And he’s fouled pretty hard on that shot, but he’s got the chance to pick up the points at the line. And guys, hold on now. I’m getting word. We have Shams Chirania calling in. Shams, what do you have for us? Well, for all the anticipation around NBA expansion, we might have to pump the brakes. I’m told a number of team owners are a bit hesitant to further carve up the revenue from this new national broadcasting deal. So, the timeline may take longer than some fans had hoped. They’ll get there for sure. All right, Chs, we thank you very much for that report. And the Lakers making a change here. Vincent’s checked in. [Applause] He doesn’t get the second one. The Pistons leading to the wing on the left. Pass to Holland. The Pistons working the ball around now. Robinson with it. Lorabia is there. Holland no good. The Lakers shooting just 35%. They’ve got to get better looks. Vincent the pass to Lorabia and trying for the go-ahehead basket. It doesn’t go in. Second quarter play with almost 3 minutes gone. Levert the pass to Stew and the dunk by Stewart. Oh, and he he went for the two-hander on the slam using some muscle. Some urgency from him there. Sure. Lakers trail by three. Reeves with it. Here’s Vanderbilt. Back to Reeves. Los Angeles needs to get off a shot here. Flea no good. Pistons leading by three. Pass to Sasser. It’s Levert on the wing. It’s stolen by Vanderbilt. And here’s the fast break. Here’s Reeds. Not going to go that time. Excellent D that time from Robinson. Here’s Sasser. Defended by Vincent. Now Stewart. Pass to Levert. Here’s Sasser. Six on the shot clock. Stewart kicks to Levert. Here’s Holland. Oh, good with the triple. Lakers trail by three. Reeves finds Clea. Here’s Lorabia. He’s covered by Sasher. Vincent the pass to Clea. Detroit foul. [Music] Second personal foul. Second team Los Angeles shooting their third and fourth free throw shot of the night. for two. Maxi Play [Applause] and he makes the first. Gotchic is checked in for Gabe Vincent. And a different look here for the Pistons. Jaylen Duran, he’s checked in for Stewart. Thompson comes in for Holland. Ivy’s checked in for Caris Levert. And it’s Cunningham in for Marcus Chester. And so he makes both from the line. And so it’s Cunningham. He’ll bring it up for Detroit. Pass to Ivy. And here is Duran. Lea defending. [Applause] Duran finds Cunningham on the wing. Thompson over Vanderbilt goes back up. Here’s Duran and he lays it straight in. During got six points. Well, when you grab the offensive rebound, you’re already right there at the rim. It makes the put back that much easier. John way outside Los Angeles with another miss. Detroit leading by three inside. Here’s Duran and Duran slams it in. He’s going to put that one in his scrapbook. Insane dunk. And now they’re starting to rub it in. Build up a lead. And here we go, baby. It is showtime [Applause] for Los Angeles. They’ve gone two of six in the field in the second quarter so far. The three production rebounded by the Pistons. During got rebound number seven for him tonight. Pass to Cunningham. Thompson. A screen on Dunic. Cunningham passes to Thompson and it’s going to be out of bounds. The Pistons will return for and the Lakers with some changes. Eighton, he’s checked in for Maxi Cleba. LeBron comes in for Jake Larabio and it’s Dalton connect in for Austin Reeds. [Applause] Robinson finds Cunningham. Clock at four. Lets it go. Robinson misses. He’s going to be shaking his head on that one. Knows he missed an easy. Well, that happens sometime. Nothing is guaranteed in this league. James Maton [Applause] over in the corner. Donic. That doesn’t go either for Donic. Oh, I love the confidence. Keeps shooting it. Eventually, he’s got to start making some, right? [Applause] Now here’s Ivy. He’s guarded by Connect and it’s Thompson with the jam. And when he lets the athleticism take over, Thompson can do almost anything to the middle. Stolen by Thompson. There’s the drive and slam dunk by Ivy. Well, if you don’t take care of the ball, fellas, that’s what can happen. Absolutely, Greg. That makes the turnover even more painful. All it takes is a half second of carelessness and someone will be rocking the rim going the other way. Now here’s Thompson. They lead by their biggest margin of the game. Nine. Thompson. A screen on Eightton and a wideopen look for Cunningham. Hands it from downtown. Cunningham’s got seven. Hey, you see that? [Applause] James outside [Music] to the left side wing and a wide open look for Hatimura. Good. And the assist goes to James. Hachimura has got six points. And we know Hachimura has a confident personality. You see it there with the rise and fire approach. Nice. Now here’s Cunningham. Nice D from Donic. Jacks up a three. Los Angeles with a fresh shot clock. James. A screen on Cunningham. Shot clock at five. And it’s Donic missing. And when you can’t get anything to fall, it definitely gets in your head. If he can just make a couple of buckets though, this can all be put in his rearview mirror. Harris passes to Duran. Cunningham outside from downtown. Rebounded by the Lakers. Donic has got his fourth rebound in this one. You know, Tim, one thing you hear about Kate Cunningham is his leadership skills. Yeah, Kevin, he is very mature and unselfish. While this team definitely revolves around his play, he doesn’t make it all about himself. And that is the difference. And this is where Aiden does the most damage inside. Feels like he can score on anyone. Thompson sets the pick for Cunningham. Harris outside. The put back. He hangs in there and cashes in on the second chance points. just in a perfect position to grab that rebound and then get the put back. Pass to connect and stolen by Thompson. Here’s Cunningham. And then Cunningham with the dunk and he can make some jaw-dropping plays. Cunningham loves to get to the 10 and finish with authority. Now connect. Some nice passing here by Los Angeles. [Applause] A three from LeBron. He’s just scored his first basket with that shot, making him one for four. So, what a steady presence offensively and a very difficult player to game plan for pass to Duran. Harris outside just five to shoot. Over in the corner, Cunningham trying to come right back with a three of his own, but it’s no good. down low. Aton and Aton throws it down. And it’s the way Aton uses his body inside. It’s what allows him to get so close to the basket. Now here is Harris. Seven points in the game. Back to Cunningham. Rebound the Lakers. Well, that is a nice challenge at the rim. Really altered that shot. Hatchiman. No good. Pistons leading by six. Thompson passes to Cunningham. And here is Harris. Basket is good. He’ll get a chance for one more at the line. Defensive. And that’s the kind of play that fires up your team. Harris with the strength to finish through contact. The Pistons shooting their first free throw of the contest. And last season 77% from the line. They could usually get the job done there. Austin Reeves is checked in for the Lakers. [Applause] That’s good from Harris. There’s 48 seconds left to play here in the half to the inside. Here’s Eaton. A shot that time not on target. Great defense that time from Duran near the three-point line. gets Donic. Shot goes down. Very quick possession right there. Oh, that’s a terrific pass. Aiden with the advanced skill level. He’s just going to get better with time. Now here’s Ivy. There’s the screen. 8sec difference between the shot clock and the game clock. Detroit no good that time either. Lakers trail by seven. To the paint. Here’s Reeves. Good. And the assist goes to James. Reeves has got four points this fourth and they’ve done well at taking advantage of some late defensive rotations and getting the ball in the paint up again and it’s good to hold on the officials want to look at that one on the replay line the guard pair will be Donich and Reed in the forward positions James and Hachimura and it’s in at the center position that’s the Laker five to shoot to the inside and stolen by LeBron. Here’s Hatchim. Yes, it’s James picking up the assist. LeBron’s got his fifth assist in this one. Here is Cunningham. Great. Last season, the Lakers exceeded expectations by winning 50 games and finishing third in the West. They went on quite a run after acquiring Luca Donsic, but they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. As we know, this is an organization judged on championship success. Now, here’s LeBron Aton in the corner. That doesn’t go on the chance to time. And Thompson kicks to Cunningham. And here’s Harris from the arc and right on through for another basket. He’s got five made on five of nine shooting. And so far, Harris is having his way on offense. The defense just has not found an answer for his energy on that end. We’re now joined by our sideline reporter, Ally Leforce. Ally, it’s all yours. Thanks a lot. LeBron wants his respect. He says the work that goes into still playing at this level has to be respected. They say, “Would you rather be loved or respected?” For me, it’s always about respect. People can lie and say they love you, but you can always gauge when someone is not respecting you. Back to you, Kevin. He truly has earned it. Ally, we thank you very much. And if Ivy can hit that shot with consistency, it really makes him a tough cover. Pass to Aton. Back to Donic. Eighton sets the pick for Donic. Los Angeles with another miss. Pistons leading by nine. [Music] [Applause] Now here is Harris. He’s covered by eight. No one around him. And the three off target. LA’s getting blank from three-point land so far in the third. Still 0 for three. Here’s Hatchima. Drills the three-pointer. Hatchim’s got five points in the quarter. Well, the defense was a little soft right there and it made it a practice shot. Back to Cunningham. Good. And Harris gets the assist and the Pistons lead by eight. Well, this team relies on his scoring and no shocker, he’s done his part. Donic against Cunningham. And it’s Donic missing. Detroit’s gone two of three when they ventured outside the arc in the third quarter. left side. Harris. Cunningham outside. Harris kicks to Cunningham. That three off the mark. Los Angeles has gone one of four in three-point shots here in the third. And it’s Donic missing. It’s almost like he’s trying to make things hard on himself. You know, he’s just got to slow the game down, try to get some easy ones. Thompson passes to Harris. Now here’s Ivy. It’s good from long range and now an 11-point Detroit lead. Oh, how about the quick thinking by Ivy. I love when he goes right at it with the shot. Here’s Donic. It’s tipped. Aimura kicks to LeBron. Down to five on the shot clock. Lets it go from deep. The rebound by Ivy. Ivy’s got four rebounds now tonight. Thompson with it now. Guarded by Eaton. Thompson surveying the floor on the wing. Harris offline with his three. Lakers trail by 11. They need a bucket in a big way here to regain some confidence. Hey yo, right here. Reeves outside. Pass to Hatchima and he gets the whistle. Two free throws coming up. Tim, when you think of the players, which players come to mind as setting the bar for a high basketball IQ? LeBron James certainly at the top of the list. Nola Joic, I would put Luca Donic in that category as well. IQ means you have the ability to understand defenses and where your four teammates are at all times. And for some it’s natural and for some they probably got to work at it. Correct. You got to work on it. But I think it’s critical if you really want to separate yourself from the rest of the pack. [Applause] Big Mura hits them both. All right. Legs, follow me here. You look at the rise of teams like Detroit, there’s a lot to be said for having young legs. Well played, Kevin. Well played. And look, today’s game exacts a physical toll. And if you think of it, that’s especially true when you’re playing a team like the Pistons. They play fast and they hit hard. And here is Los Angeles now following the three by Detroit. Back to Donic. front pass the arc. Los Angeles with another miss. Yeah. And you could tell he thought that triple was going to fall. Get that. Get that. Cunningham passes to Thompson. Donic finds James. Lakers passing it around. Back to Donic. And the Lakers with another miss. He just doesn’t look like himself this quarter. Something’s missing. He seems like he’s moving, okay, but clearly something isn’t right now. Donic following the three-point attempt by Kate Cunningham and it goes down two points. I love how under control Pimura is able to push his way through the contact and score. Nice work. Now here’s Cunningham. He’s got 11. Pass to Ivy. Shot clock at six. That’s in. Coming off the assist from Thompson. Thompson’s got his fourth assist in this one. Lakers trail by 16. Reeves outside. Back to Donic and he can’t answer back. The three-pointer offline over in the corner. Cunningham. Pass to Thompson. Now Duran. He’s covered by eight. Duran sets the screen for Harris. There’s the lob to Duran and stolen by James. Top of the key. Hatchima. And here is Aton. Here’s Donic. Takes a three and the foul on Ruie Hatchim. That’s his first foul. And so the timeout here by JB Bickerstaff. This now will give him a chance to discuss some potential changes. [Applause] Detroit leading by 16. And here’s Ivy. 16 points for him. They get it again. Latrey. Here’s Durham. Well, it was only a matter of time, but they finally get the bucket. Well, that’s just a mistake on defense. No one got a body on LeBron James on the wing over Thompson and it’s James missing. You know what? Just a little fancy on that possession there. Just go up in rhythm. Harris kicks to Thompson. Hey, that Thompson sets the pick for Harris. Six to shoot and Thompson gets it to go. An explosive player. Thompson has serious leaping ability and that comes in handy around the basket. Well, this league has some of the world’s best athletes, but Assar Thompson, like his brother Amen, Tim, they’re on another level. Yeah, this guy has a top tier burst and relentlessness to make things happen. He’s already a stopper at the defensive end. Now here’s Donic. 14 points for him. And he has been ice cold from beyond the arc here since halftime. And he continues yet to fire away. He has got to tone it down if he wants to help his team. Ivy with it. Guarded by Smart. Rebounded by Smart. Lakers trail by 20. Now here’s LeBron. [Music] [Applause] Out to the wing. Vanderbilt finds Donic. Back to Vanderbilt. They could use a bucket to Detroit with the rebound [Music] outside. Robinson. Bounce pass from Ivy. Three-pointer. The shot comes out. And so it’s Smart. He’ll bring up the ball for the Lakers. James dishes to Don. Yes, it’s James picking up the assist. LeBron’s got assist number eight here in this one already. And so the timeout here and Detroit has possession. Cunningham passes to Robinson. Cunningham sets a screen for Robinson. Good on the triple. Robinson’s got himself on the board with three there. You can’t just stop when there’s a pick set up. Got to fight over it as a defender. Well, you just have to communicate those switches. If you don’t, it’s on you. Now, here’s Smart. Back to Cleba. Shot clock at six. Gets it to go from beyond the arriv. And I like the back and forth here showing confidence from Rain. Yeah, he was so ready to answer that. These teams are just battling. Robinson on the wing. He’s defended by Labraia. Got him with the pump fake but couldn’t finish. Now Smart Clea the pass to Reeves. Lakers working the ball around now. Back to Arabia and again Los Angeles with the triple. That’s just a smart play right there. The right pass to a ready shooter. Cunningham on the wing. 26 seconds left in the third quarter. Stewart kicks to Holland. Cunningham on the wing off the mark there with the three-point shot. [Applause] Loravia with it. Here’s Cleba. And that shot was up in time but doesn’t go in. And so it’s Jaden Ivy making things happen for the Detroit Pistons. That quarter had to take a lot out of him. He racked up 12 points. Right back after this break. [Applause] And let’s take this opportunity now to show you our State Farm assist of the game. And he’s always been the favorite to bag this honor. These kind of feeds are his bread and butter. And he runs their offense for a reason. He’s got excellent vision. Wow. What a gift for his teammates. And one quarter to go in a game that to this point has not been an evenly fought contest. And on the four for Detroit here in the fourth. Kate Cunningham out there with Levert. Then there’s Holland. Then there’s Isaiah Stewart. And it’s Robinson and at the small forward position. Here is Cunningham after Los Angeles picked up three with their shot. He’s off from 17 ft on the wing. Reeds pass to Labraia and again it’s the Lakers from deep. Another bomb for Royale right now. His three-point shooting might be the key to cutting that lead. Now he has quickly piled up the points by stringing those threes together. Here’s Holland [Applause] for the three. Cleba with the rebound. Lakers trail by nine. Reeves outside. Smart passes to Cleba. Here’s Reeves. shoots over Levert. Missile blows. Basket is good. So, a chance here for a three-point play. I’ll tell you, they’re right in this. We’ll see if they can maintain momentum. In order to cut into a lead the way that they have, you must be outstanding on both ends. Gabe Pinson, he’s checked in for Smart Austin shooting one. [Applause] on the free throw. No good. And the tough guy reputation a Tim well earned for Isaiah Stewart. Well, yeah. He’s a physical presence, Kevin. He does not shy away from an alley fight. He brings that edge every team needs and it is especially welcome in the Motor City. Now Reeves following the three-point attempt by Kate Cunningham. Laoravia finds Reeves. Vincson on the wing guarded by Robinson. Vincent misses. Detroit leading by seven. [Applause] Cunningham looking it over. Here’s Holland. Back to Cunningham outside Robinson. That’s in coming off the assist from Cunningham. Re Cunningham’s got his seventh assist in the game. Pass to Vincent. Breeze with a screen on Cunningham. Vincson with it now. Defended by Cunningham. And that’s a little lack of white at the defensive end. Absolutely. At least on that slam. You’re right. That’s one way to let a team back in the game. It looked like a letup from the team in the lead. And here is Vanderbilt. [Applause] Now Reeves pass to Vincent. [Applause] Fires the three. Reeves can’t hit. And it’s Cunningham with the ball for the Pistons. Their biggest lead of the game was 21. Now here is Robinson. [Applause] over Cleba Robinson. That’s good. Robinson’s got five points now in the quarter. Lakers trail by 10. Reeves outside. Back to Vincent. Cunningham with some nice deep. Those are the ones you definitely have to make. Sometimes there’s just enough defense to make a miss. looking to end his cold spell. Reeves with the rebound. Los Angeles has gone two or three in the fourth quarter from long range. Good shooting so far. Pass to Vanderbiltson. He’s checked in for Robinson and Ivy subbed in for Levert. Ivy dishes to Cunningham. Five on the clock. Back to Ivy. Lets the three fly. That’s in. He’s seven for 12 now in the game. Tim, in your career, you played at every level of basketball, pro and college. And before, what’s the single biggest change in your mind as far as professional basketball outside the NBA? Well, Kevin, I think globally the level of play has just risen dramatically. There’s a much greater belief now that you can actually make it to the league even if you’re playing outside this country. And then the GLeague has created a much more streamlined path for those who want to work their way into the league. GLeague has been terrific. Sure has. Now here’s James Donic with it. Turing picks him up, throws down the alley slam. And you got to respect Cooper’s passing skills. Just a multi-talented player who is all about sharing the basketball. Here’s I in the passive. It’s hauled in by LeBron. James has got his fifth rebound in this one. pass to Vanderbilt off target with his three. That’s a look you cannot pass up. It’s also one you shouldn’t miss. Harris. Here’s Durham. And they pick up two and the Pistons lead by 11. and Matador defense. That’s one of the easiest shots he is ever going to see. And they are just breaking the will of their opponent. Now here’s Donic. [Applause] LeBron outside over Thompson. LeBron shot is off. Pistons leading by 11. RIP. Let’s see what we can do. And I think the players love that message. All right, Ally, thank you for that. And so it’s Dungeons with it. He brings it up for Los Angeles. LeBron a screen on Cunningham. Reeves outside. [Applause] Aimura setting the pick for Reeves. Just five on the clock. The reproduction. He has the potential to be an elite NBA defender for a long time. Thompson can guard anybody. And the Pistons with possession here. They lead by 14. On the wing, Harris. [Applause] No good that time. Good work defensively by Hatchima. Pass to Donic. 16 ft away. Rebound Detroit. Turing’s got rebound number 19 now. Incredible board work. And here’s Thompson. Cunningham for three. And again with the rebound. He hauls in his 20th rebound. Dominating the glass. That is a product of pure effort, guys. I agree. And that’s nothing new coming from MGA. He loves going to work on the rebounding, going to work on the board. And he showed you great timing as well. Offensive rebounding, one of his specialties. Now, here’s Ivy after Lucad’s miss. Ivy finds Harris. Cunningham for three. The Lakers with the rebound. Eightton’s. They need a good offensive possession. Yeah, they’ve gone a long time without a bucket. Eight screen on top. James too much strength. LeBron powering his way inside. Yeah. So tenacious on the attack. LeBron isn’t bothered by a little contact on that drive. Now Thompson Ivy outside Cunningham. And that one goes out of bounds. Last touch by Aton. Great energy on the deflection and a good job disrupting their offense. Yeah, that’ll give them something to think about. Five to shoot. Cunningham. And it’s just encouraging to see Luca step up on defense. Must continue to bring that type of intensity. And it’s Jaden Ivy with the Falcon. That’ll be his second foul of the game. Breeze fires the long shot. No good. Detroit leading by 14. Cunningham outside. [Applause] Payton against Harris and he misses the J. The shot’s there for him and he’s got to take it. I don’t care if he doesn’t convert. That’s a shot he has to continue to take. It’s James misses the three. I’m surprised he missed that one. He is a dangerous guy to leave open. Outside Harris. Now Ivy launches it. Knocks down the three. And tonight’s battle is going to end with a very clear winner, leaving nothing to chance. Impressive win for the Pistons.
