Chicago Bulls faced the Denver Nuggets on January 28, 1979 at the McNichols Sports Arena in Denver, Colorado for an NBA regular season game.

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Chicago entered the game with an 18-30 record. They were coached by Larry Costello in his first year with the Bulls.

4
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Denver was coached by legendary Larry Brown in his fifth year with the franchise.

5
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Larry had quickly transformed the Nuggets into a strong playoff team year after year despite never winning the ABA or NBA Finals.

6
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,000
This audio recording features announcers Gary Bender and Steve Jones.

7
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Reggie Theus was the Chicago Bulls' number one draft pick this year.

8
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000
The 6'7 Nevada Las Vegas product hasn't disappointed as he's a leading scorer among all NBA rookies.

9
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:56,000
For the third consecutive year, David Thompson of the Denver Nuggets has been voted a starting spot on the NBA All-Star team.

10
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Thompson's coming off his most impressive performance of the year with 32 points.

14
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Welcome to the Mcnickels Sports Arena in Denver, Colorado, the home of the Denver Nuggets who this afternoon play host to the Chicago Bulls.

15
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Hi everybody, I'm Gary Bender along with Steve Jones and Steve we have two clubs coming in here seeking consistency.

16
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Gary, both teams have had their problems. Chicago down early in the season and they've been trying to get up off the floor all season long.

17
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,000
They have had a streak going and look like they were going to get it turned around and they've been down.

18
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Denver on the other hand, got off to the usual quick start and they sputtered and they have been trying to catch the fast rising Kansas City Kings ever since then.

19
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000
But they have it turned around here playing better basketball.

20
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Well, Chicago has defeated Denver on the two previous occasions winning right here in the Nuggets Arena for the first time.

21
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,000
They want a big game here. They'd seem to and it seemed as though they had things turned around when a back to back series played some good basketball.

22
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
And then they struggle again. They've been back down and they're trying to get it back up.

23
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
A lot of skill more you visit with him. What'd you ask him?

24
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Well, I got a chance to talk with the arts and ask him if they would really get their situation turned around.

25
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,000
240 pounds from Kentucky. Go, Captain of the Nuggets. Number 44, Chris.

26
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:39,000
We've got the things that we want turning around. And me personally, I feel that there's some things that I've got to do as a captain and as a leader.

27
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000
And influence or encourage our guys to come out and play hard.

28
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:49,000
I know we're lacking a few things, but yet instill with the things that we do have, we've got to take advantage of it.

29
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:59,000
When you talk about leadership, do you think you can apply that type of pressure and make the Scott Mays, Mickey Johnson and Wilbur Hollins play up to the potential they did a couple of years ago?

30
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Well, not necessarily apply pressure. But I think in terms of convincing the guys what it's all about to come out and play hard and play to the up to their potentials and hopefully get a good result.

31
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,000
So any results. Right. Let's talk about you for a quick second. You're going to go to the All-Star game again, big fella.

32
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
And I know you're always happy to participate in those things. You're looking forward to being in Detroit.

33
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Absolutely. As any player in the NBA would say, it's a great honor to be chosen or selected for the All-Star team. And once again, I'm really happy to be a part of it.

34
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:42,000
On the other hand, George McGinnis will also be playing in the NBA All-Star game, which will be televised right here on CBS, along with his teammate David Thompson.

35
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Again, is coming over, of course, from the Philadelphia 76ers this year in the trade with Bobby Jones and Ralph Simpson. He's a big, powerful man at six foot eight.

36
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:59,000
And he's been involved in games this year where the Nuggets have been losing close ones. Seventeen games they've lost by six points or less.

37
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:05,000
I asked George about those close losses.

38
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Yeah, it's been a characteristic of our team so far. And then the losses, I think that after the season gets down to the wire that we're going to look back and feel awful bad about.

39
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:21,000
But the one thing that's I feel positive about them losses is that we stuck in there and we hung in there and we battled.

40
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,000
You need to stay around to the end more often. You fouled out, I think, twelve times in eleven of those games, your team has lost.

41
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Yes, I've had a problem with fouls this year and we've had a problem winning them ballgames because of the fact that our team goes to me a lot.

42
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:44,000
And hopefully today I'll be able to stay in the game and make a positive effect on the team.

43
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:53,000
And so we're ready to go as both these clubs at center circle. Our officiating crew will be Lee Jones, the crew chief, Terry Durham and Hugh Hollins.

44
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,000
You see the starting lineup in Chicago says a starting five. Well, they haven't had it for a long time.

45
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Wilbur Holland at one guard and Scott May is starting to the other forward. He has a ball right now along with Mickey Johnson.

46
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:11,000
This is Johnson had thirty three points in the game earlier this year against Denver rebound. Bobby Wilkerson looks at it now for the Denver Nuggets.

47
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:20,000
This is David Thompson. He'll be joined out there by Charlie Scott at the guard spots. Bobby Wilkerson, George McGinnis, the forwards and Dan Issel will be in the middle.

48
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:29,000
And it's turned over. Scott May comes away with it. Chicago has really been tough on Denver. They played excellent basketball. All the games have been close.

49
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:37,000
The problem for Chicago is they've been a little lacking in the first year as far as offensive firepower go. They went down and now they have begun to put it together.

50
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,000
They've got their best offensive unit out on the court. Now we should have an excellent offensive basketball game.

51
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:51,000
David Thompson in bounds of all the Charlie Scott's got averaging just over twelve points a game. That's a career low for him, but he's contributed in other ways, particularly in the assist department.

52
00:05:51,000 --> 00:06:00,000
And we have a traveling call on David Thompson. Thompson was somewhat sensational Friday night. He had a tremendous game, probably his best all around game of the season.

53
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:09,000
He rebounded well, passed the ball well, played defense well, just did everything to ask for a play of his ability. He had six dunks in that game. He blocked the shot that everybody's talking about.

54
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Here's Gilmore backing in on this. Scott May may try to come away with it. We have a loose ball foul.

55
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:25,000
There's a problem for us. We're trying to keep Gilmore from forcing the ball inside. Well, you know, they were teammates at Kentucky in the ABA and Dan knows artist Gilmore as well as anyone.

56
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:32,000
But Gilmore is just able to out maneuver and overpower Dan Issel. And that's where his advantage is.

57
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Mickey Johnson picked up the foul. That's the first of the game just underway. First period, Issel outside rebound. Theus after Wilbur Holland. Holland started this year as the starting guard.

58
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:55,000
The first twenty one game. He's back in there now. Out it comes to Scott. Back is Theus. Scott having trouble and he's going to have to reset. Nice pass to Issel. And that's what Charlie Scott's been doing.

59
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Charlie Scott's been giving the ball up well and early in the season to hurt him because he wasn't looking at the hoop. Now he's turned it around and gotten some offense going himself.

60
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:13,000
So the Nuggets got on the scoreboard. Here's Theus six foot seven inside to Gilmore. Seven two against six nine. Rebound McGinnis. McGinnis. What a horse he is on the board.

61
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Well, George McGinnis is all that Denver has ever needed in the sense that they have a big strong guy who can take it through the hole just like that.

62
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Boy, he went around Mickey Johnson like he was standing still. He may have done a little two step. He got away with that little NBA shuffle and they got the hoop and they got a four point lead.

63
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Four nothing. Denver. Theus averaging sixteen point two with the basketball. Scott May hasn't played a lot but boy they're glad to have him back after starting the first game.

64
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:51,000
He's done undergoing knee surgery second time in two years. Johnson's rebound Wilkerson and we have another foul coming up. Mickey Johnson and he's picked up two in a hurry.

65
00:07:51,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Well, that's been a problem for Mickey Johnson. He's an offensive player and his game sort of goes the way his offense goes. He made two tries at the hoop. He missed them both and he picked up fouls afterwards after trying to get the ball.

66
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:11,000
As an end result fifty four Mark Landsberger sent and replacing Mickey Johnson. Johnson had that sensational game of thirty three points against Denver earlier this year but he's having some back trouble.

67
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Well, he's having some back trouble and maybe more in his head than anything else. He is kind of a psychological player and when everything is going well for him he plays well.

68
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Wilkerson who has been up and down and he had a streak with his offense was really going well and now he's shooting about thirty five percent from the field and really struggling.

69
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:41,000
He's in a shooting slump. This guy has started the last fifteen games at forward and Denver's gone ten and five during that stretch so he's fit in very well at that forward spot after playing a guard most of last year.

70
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:49,000
It's so important to have that team chemistry and get them in the line if they have it. Boy, there's something that's impossible to stop.

71
00:08:49,000 --> 00:09:01,000
And now it's five to Denver. David Thompson, you can see he has the left leg wrapped. He's had all kinds of nagging injuries. Little groin problems, a little knee injury.

72
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:08,000
He got knocked out early in the season and that hurt him a bit but as he said on Friday night he played his best all-around game. His leg was wrapped in two.

73
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:20,000
There's a move by David Thompson. All-NBA and for the third straight year on the starting All-Star squad on next Sunday's game. Seven to Denver.

74
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Gilmore against Issel. Nice move.

75
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:39,000
A little finger roll inside and that keeps Chicago close. Artis Gilmore comes in here. Ford in the NBA and scoring just under twenty-five a game. Wilkerson out to Scott. They're moving the ball very well. Thompson.

76
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Another assist for Scott. Thompson hits outside and Denver's off and rolling. The thing that Chicago does not want to let Denver do is get a quick start here at their home court even though they haven't been a devastating pass.

77
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Boy you can see Lansberger and McInnis going up. There's not a lot of room when they go up. McInnis showing great speed getting that ball down to Thompson.

78
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,000
I don't think David Thompson was quite ready to handle that pass but Scott is.

79
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Charlie Scott, he lost his confidence last year as a shooter didn't he?

80
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Well there's no question about it. He's playing in a new situation coming from Boston to Los Angeles. He tried to fit in with Kareem and some other people there and just did not look at the basket.

81
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:22,000
He hurt himself but he's back right on top. He's Charlie Scott that we knew at Phoenix and Boston.

82
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,000
A lot of cars are like pizzas. To get a lot on them you gotta pay a lot extra.

83
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000
But not the 1979 Chevy Chevette. It comes with a lot already on it.

84
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Chevette ignores the pizza principle. With it you get an AM radio, reclining bucket seats, console, white striped tires and more all at no extra cost.

85
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,000
So avoid the pizza principle. Get a car with a lot already on it. Get the best selling hatchback in America.

86
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Chevy Chevette. It's a lot of car for the money. Hi Richie. Hi kid.

87
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,000
The Miller people promised me a case of light beer if I could keep this ball spinning for the length of this commercial.

88
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Now I'm not one to show off but I do just about anything for a few light beers.

89
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,000
You see light's got a third less calories than the regular beer and it's less filling so I can stay loose.

90
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:16,000
But the thing I like best is the taste and I believe it this time that somebody here owes me a case of that taste.

91
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Thanks a lot boys. See you around.

92
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Light beer from Miller. Everything you always wanted in a beer and less.

93
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Three unidentified 19 inch color TV pictures. Each the best of its brand.

94
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Over a thousand people saw them and picked the one with the best overall picture. They didn't pick America's biggest seller, Zenith.

95
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Or the second biggest, RCA. Over 60% picked the 19 inch Sylvania Super Set.

96
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Over 60%. We're not the biggest but a lot of people think we've got the best picture.

97
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
The Sylvania Super Set.

98
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Larry Costello, the Chicago Bulls and Denver's off and moving.

99
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Steve they hit five of the first six shots.

100
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,000
That's firepower in the right places and when you only miss one and Chicago's two for ten.

101
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:14,000
That'll give you a lead. They're ahead by seven, eight, ten to go and they're trying to apply some pressure into back court.

102
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Wilbur Holland who many people are reminded of Dick Barnett when they watch him play the little jumper the way he picks his legs up.

103
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:27,000
He's a great opportunity player. You know if he could get down in a fast break situation anytime he can go to the basket he's going to be the first to go.

104
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000
He's going to get a chance to get to the line and get a hoop.

105
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Well Charlie Scott guarding a little too aggressively on that play. Picks up the foul. His first foul.

106
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,000
First team foul against Denver and Holland will inbounds it from the near side.

107
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Well a problem here. You know we talk about a hand checking rule and Charlie Scott has his hands on him. He's not happy. It's not that much contact.

108
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Gilmore. Lansberger. This guy's a tough rebounder. That shot will count and he's been fouled. A chance for a three point play.

109
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Lansberger his first basket. You know this Lansberger this year had 15 offensive rebounds in one game. That's the top of the NBA.

110
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:11,000
That's the top. You know that's way ahead of Moses Malone who's the offensive rebounding leader but this kid is down and deep and George McInnis is going to have to be cognizant of that and box him.

111
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,000
He's got good offensive moves in close around the basket. That's where he tries to work.

112
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Foul picked up by McInnis. His first it's an 11 to 6 game. Denver. Three point play and now we have something away from the ball. Lee Jones says that Scott May reached in and grabbed.

113
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,000
So he picks up the foul. That's his first. The third team foul now against Chicago.

114
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:37,000
You talk about the hand checking rule and again it comes into play. No one's really hindering Thompson's progress but they don't want the players reaching and touching.

115
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Now they Scott look at that Lansberger get up with you the former Arizona State standout. Tom Toholland. Reggie Fias. Fias at 6'7". He's a handful for Thompson but he walks to the ball.

116
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Yeah he did a little bunny hop. He got away with it and then Lee Evans whistled him and he's a little surprised. Larry Costello he's hot about it but then he's got a lot of problems to be hot with.

117
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Chicago started rolling and then all of a sudden they fall back into the problems that plagued them early in the year.

118
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:13,000
They just haven't had that consistency. Again is trying to get out of some difficulty. He doesn't do it.

119
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Off to Lansberger. The Fias. Rebound by Scott May and he can't get it down. Look at him. Horse awards. Lansberger gets it in.

120
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Anytime you get three opportunities you're going to get it down. Scott May who's missed two layups on timing problems has been there and it's important that they get as many opportunities as they can.

121
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Well after leading 11-4 it's been cut to 11-8 now. Issel trying to answer outside. Wilkerson. Good effort.

122
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Denver came right back with the same thing. You've got to box and either team is doing a good job of it early and it cost them hoops on second and third tries.

123
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Chicago historically has been tough on their front line rebounding wise but Denver that time getting the better of it. Here's Gilmore with Issel trying to hang in there with him.

124
00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:03,000
He likes that move and he's got it. He's got a chance for a three point play. Well an interesting thing about this matchup is normally they try to give Issel some help.

125
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Gilmore is just as dominant in that offense as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. You'll see he works down and deep and once he gets down in there and leans in there's not much that a smaller than Issel can do.

126
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:21,000
He's on the line with the chance to get a three point play and bring Chicago within two points. That's the first foul on Issel and Issel comes away with it.

127
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Earlier this year Gilmore had thirty one points and eleven rebounds and a game played right here in the Nichols Arena. He's out to maybe duplicate that this afternoon.

128
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Lansberger. The interesting thing about Gilmore is he outscored every center that he plays against. Here's Theus. Well this guy's going to be around a long time isn't he?

129
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:53,000
Oh he's one fine prospect and all he can do is continue to get better. He sees the court well. He scores good. Hover Holland and to Gilmore they're going to get the big guy and why not?

130
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Oh that'll hurt you right there. That'll hurt more than your pride when you get down and deep like that and get mugged that way.

131
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:11,000
All of a sudden we have a one point game. Thirteen to twelve. Denver on top. Remember they led eleven four. Here's Issel a little pushing there as they set up the pick. David Thompson a mismatch.

132
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Thompson's going to take him inside. He got away with it and he's fouled. A lot of three point plays here in the early going.

133
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Well we talked earlier about David Thompson adjusting to the guard position. That time he recognized right away he had a mismatch. Went on Gilmore and went right to the hoop. He got him a two point play and a chance to get three and build a lead up to a four point lead.

134
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Reggie Theus picked up the foul and already Thompson has seven points in the game. For Theus his first foul. Sixteen twelve. Denver. Inside again. He tried to front him on that play. Gilmore can't handle it. Boy Larry is really upset. I think he feels they were reaching in on Artis a little.

135
00:16:53,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Well they made a fine pass inside and Gilmore looked like he had an easy stuff and all of a sudden the ball was free and you always look for some help from the officials in that case.

136
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:13,000
We have five twenty to go first period. Thompson hit one from there earlier. Rebound. Holland. They're getting only one track at it now. Holland on a break. He loves to run. How's that for a play?

137
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:26,000
That's a fine offensive break that time. He was looking at the hoop and they came to him. He drew the defense and gave to Scott May. He gets his first hoop. Chicago's hanging tough. And we're going to have a timeout called by Denver. They don't like how things are happening right now.

138
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Sixteen fourteen. Denver with the lead at five oh one as Chicago's got boring right back at this one.

139
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:44,000

150
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Cause we love that crisp refreshing taste so light and crystal clear. Moving up.

151
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Riding up.

152
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Looking up.

153
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,000
Sailing up.

154
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,000
America is turning seven up. Reaching up.

155
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Hiking up.

156
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Feeling up.

157
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Biking up.

158
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,000
America is turning seven up.

159
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Agent Brent Whitlock talks about family insurance.

160
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:51,000
You have an obligation to that individual when he buys an insurance policy from you to back up what you tell him. You're selling him a service. It's an intangible.

161
00:18:51,000 --> 00:19:10,000
The only way you can prove that you're you're worth what you say you are or your company is as good as you say it is is to be there when he needs you and provide the service that he deserves.

162
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:24,000
All the stars will come out for CBS Sports exclusive live coverage of the NBA All-Star Game from Detroit with the best in the East taking on the best in the West. You'll say.

163
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,000
You saw it on CBS Sports.

164
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Larry Brown is fifth year as a coach of Denver. It's not been an easy year for him.

165
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:40,000
He's been up and down normally off to a quick start. His teams and they have played with a lot of consistency and this year they have been up and down.

166
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:46,000
He's trying to figure out what the problem is so they could get back in first place a place that he's made or a company to be.

167
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Denver looked like they were off and running. All of a sudden Chicago's battle back within two as we pick up the action just inside five minutes to go.

168
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000
First period.

169
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
David Thompson.

170
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Well, he hit so didn't even ripple the court. You know, it's tough try there. He's got nine points and they're going to go back to what got him that lead Thompson scoring nine for him.

171
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Eight for Gilmore. The leading scorer thus far in the early going to this game.

172
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Scott a tough defensive man at six six against six seven.

173
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Theas Landsberger.

174
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Sixteen seconds on the shot clock as Theas trying to rotate around and that's a tough shot off balance couldn't get it. He had enough time to get that ball up but he forced one. Well, that's one thing about rookies.

175
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,000
You got to learn where the shot is. Scott goes down the lane and he gives it away.

176
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Oh, did that get rejected?

177
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Artist Gilmore comes in here tenth in the NBA and block shots. And there's Holland and Holland. Boy, he just loves to run at every opportunity. He's trying to get down.

178
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:49,000
He's always got his nose on that hoop. He's looking for a chance to score with him in the line of Chicago seem to be trying to run a little bit more Gary and they've been getting more points out.

179
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Eighteen sixteen. They've been outscored what now? Fourteen to two.

180
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:59,000
They have really put a good run together. They've allowed Denver only one shot and they got another break.

181
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Holland sets it up. Landsberger a lot of missed shots inside, but it's going to be Chicago's basketball. Let's go back and watch Gilmore.

182
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Lock that shot inside. This is always nice to have a big guy standing around to spot those flies. He fools Scott. Scott fools him right there, but this one can't get up high enough or quick enough.

183
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,000
And Gilmore puts it right back down.

184
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:25,000
George McGinnis comes in. Also Robert Smith is checked in along with Kim Hughes. Three changes now for Larry Brown's team.

185
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Gilmore. Hughes blocks it. Nice play by Kim Hughes. They called him the Spider-Man.

186
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:36,000
That was an excellent block by Hughes. Gilmore thought he had a lot more time to put the top on that one. McGinnis shows him how much time you need.

187
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:45,000
George McGinnis with four points. Twenty sixteen now. As all of a sudden Denver's in trouble. They start to straighten themselves out a little bit.

188
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Robert Smith. There's a guy that kind of grows on you. The more you watch him play out of Nevada, Las Vegas. Only five eleven.

189
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Scott May picked up by Tom Boswell who's checked in and I think.

190
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,000
They had that time too much on the ball. They couldn't handle that one. Well they had a lot of defensive pressure.

191
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,000
He made a tough pass inside and Wilbur Holland just was surprised and not ready to handle it.

192
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:10,000
So Denver gets to handle the ball. They got a chance to increase their lead with three minutes left in the first period.

193
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:16,000
That against Denver is their third turnover. Tom Boswell. What a find he's been this year after coming from Boston.

194
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:23,000
McGinnis changed the shot. And an offensive foul on McGinnis. McGinnis has had foul trouble all year long.

195
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Has already picked up his second. He told Landsberger. No you don't get this block big guy. You'll see him working here.

196
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:35,000
He's going to go up. He commits himself a little soon. Landsberger is right there. He just takes that big left arm and rips him away.

197
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,000
McGinnis has fouled out at twelve games this year and the team has lost eleven of them.

198
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Here's Wilbur Holland into Gilmore against Kim Hughes. He faked him up and he got the foul.

199
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:51,000
That's the tough thing about Gilmore. You go up with him trying to anticipate and he'll make you pay for it.

200
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:56,000
The worst problem is you let him get down and deep and once he gets in there you know you're in a lot of trouble.

201
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000
So you've got to try and commit a little bit early. He leaves his feet.

202
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:05,000
The important thing about Gilmore is in watching him this first couple of years in the NBA he was not as confident.

203
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Very confident. Castello is yelling at Lee Evans. He wants more calls down and deep.

204
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,000
But Gilmore was not as confident as he is now offensively. He feels as though he can score on anybody.

205
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,000
He works to get that position. He wants the ball down and deep.

206
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Gilmore now with nine points. Nine of the Bulls. Now I should say ten of the Bulls. Eighteen points.

207
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Two point lead for Denver.

208
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Artis Gilmore has been very, very consistent this year as he's been in his entire career in the NBA.

209
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Here's Tom Boswell. Well he's found a home here hasn't he?

210
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Well there's no question. They got a big fine in Boswell.

211
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:44,000
Boston had turned him loose and didn't know that he was as good a player as he is.

212
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,000
He's gotten a chance to play on a different coach and a different style of play.

213
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,000
McGennis hustling back. Able to break up what looked like might be an easy two inside.

214
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,000
It's John Menngelt. Will now check into the guard spot.

215
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000
And Ritchie Theus will come out.

216
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,000
The thing that Denver would like to do is get Chicago down and keep them down.

217
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,000
But they have not been able to do so. Bobby Wilkerson is going to check in and Charlie Scott takes a blow.

218
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,000
So we're going to have Wilkerson operating into the guard spot this time.

219
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Wilkerson, Smith, McGennis, Kim Hughes and Tom Boswell. That's the five in the game now for Denver.

220
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Two minutes to go. First period. McGennis.

221
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,000
George McGennis coming in here eighth in the NBA and scoring.

222
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,000
He is tenth in steals and ninth in rebounding. Not too bad.

223
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,000
A great all-around player and since he's left Philadelphia he's been able to show people that George McGennis is not dead.

224
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,000
There they go inside again. But that's not going to count.

225
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,000
We got a pushing off foul that time.

226
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Gilmore is going to make sure that there was no one to hold him and encumber him as he went in.

227
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,000
And he pushed off with that right arm and knocked Kim Hughes back about five steps.

228
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,000
That's the first foul on Gilmore. John Brown getting ready to come in for Chicago.

229
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Boswell had a good game earlier this year against Chicago with 12 points, 14 rebounds.

230
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Here's McGennis trying to get it outside and it's going to be Denver's ball.

231
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Also Ollie Johnson comes in. So two new forwards.

232
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,000
John Brown, Ollie Johnson, Artis Gilmore and Scott May will come out.

233
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,000
You know May has got to have a problem with conditioning. He hasn't played all that much.

234
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,000
He has not played much but he's a hard-working guy.

235
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Most of the guys from Indiana keep themselves in pretty good shape.

236
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,000
He has just got to get his game, get himself in game shape.

237
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,000
And they didn't get it off. The shot clock runs out.

238
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:30,000
McGennis couldn't get the ball inside and that's the fourth turnover against Denver.

239
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,000
22-18 the Nuggets.

240
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Denver an impressive win here Friday night.

241
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Breaking a three-game losing streak. They defeated the Los Angeles Lakers.

242
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Holland to John Brown. Brown who a week ago today got a starting call against Cleveland.

243
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,000
Here's Mengyelder playing with a bad knee. Strain ligaments in that right knee.

244
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Holland with Robert Smith on him. And look at McGennis box off.

245
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Again that's a dimension that Denver has not had.

246
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,000
A big strong guy to go up and get that rebound when you need it.

247
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Again a sprain with the two fouls. Kim Hughes picked up from the New Jersey Nets as a free agent.

248
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Kim does a very good job within his limits. And look at that a left-hander shooting a right-handed hook.

249
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Well he stays in his limitations and that time he had a mismatch on Robert Smith.

250
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000
He could have just rolled inside and stuffed it and he elected that right-hand hook and got it down.

251
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Kim's been very popular here in the Mile High City.

252
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:30,000
24-18 Landsberger with McGennis on him. Mengyel wide open. Rebound by as well.

253
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Look at Smith go. From the running Rebels in the battle of Las Vegas. He's at home in that situation.

254
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Oswell tries to bottle and Landsberger, a real workhorse, comes away with it.

255
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Landsberger done an excellent job on the board at both ends for Chicago.

256
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Limiting them to one shot, getting the offensive rebound and keeping them close.

257
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:53,000
They're going for the last shot now this first period as we have 10 seconds remaining in the first period.

258
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,000
Seven seconds. Mengyel was six seconds. He got this one.

259
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:02,000
And they worked that play to perfection. Used all the time. Denver's not even going to get a chance to get the ball up.

260
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:11,000
So the Denver Nuggets who got off very quickly in this game on an 11-4 lead have a four-point lead after the first period of play.

261
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Chicago, who's won the first two meetings this year, giving them all they want.

262
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:28,000
The first thing you notice about the Bic shaver is that the handle is hollow, practically worthless.

263
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:33,000
Bic put the money into their top quality bonded stainless steel blade.

264
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:38,000
That's why Bic can charge only 19 and three-quarters cents a shaver.

265
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:43,000
And each one gives you days and days of close, comfortable shaves.

266
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:50,000
The Bic shaver, hollow handle, superior blade, incredible price.

267
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,000
Ladies and gentlemen, RCA presents The Great Rebate.

See your participating RCA dealer today.

272
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Hi, I'm David Thompson of the Denver Nuggets.

273
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,000
And I'm a long way from NBA action.

274
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Here in Africa, like a lot of places around the world, the Peace Corps is alive and well, helping people in need.

275
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,000
People went out of their way to help me when I was a kid.

276
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000
That's what the Peace Corps is asking you to do.

277
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Help someone and you'll help yourself.

278
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,000
Join the Peace Corps.

279
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,000
This message is brought to you by the Ad Council in cooperation with the NBA.

280
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Well, in that first period of play, it was Artis Gilmore for Chicago, scoring half their points, 10 of the 20,

281
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,000
after it looked like Denver might be running off and hiding somewhere.

282
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,000
They got off to an excellent start and Chicago came right back, went down into their strength,

283
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,000
and Gilmore delivered. They need to stay close in the ball game.

284
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:18,000
During that time out, Larry Costello spent a lot of time diagramming their 3A off their one set.

285
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000
We'll see how good their offensive execution is.

286
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000
What does that all mean?

287
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000
That means score a basket.

288
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:29,000
24-20s, we pick up the second period. You saw Gilmore on the bench getting a breather.

289
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,000
We have Mingale, Holland, Landsberger, Brown, and Olley Johnson in the lineup.

290
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,000
And Hughes trying that right-handed hook again that he hit earlier.

291
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,000
Here comes Holland. Charles Dudley getting ready to come in for the bulls.

292
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,000
Mingale, one for two from the field in that first period.

293
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Olley Johnson, out to John Brown, who they picked up from the Atlanta Hawks for number two draft pick in 1980.

294
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Mingale, a tough guy. Boy, he got that one kicked out of the...

295
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Two on two. Anthony Roberts, number 21 in the lineup now.

296
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,000
He's the guy battling back from some virus trouble where he lost 25 pounds.

297
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,000
John Mingale on that last offensive series, he was going to get that up.

298
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,000
That was his play no matter what. Kim Hughes just smothered him.

299
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,000
Chicago's going to work again.

300
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:16,000
He never saw the basket. Holland with Hughes on him, a little mismatch, and now they reset it.

301
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
David Thompson picking up Holland.

302
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Olley Johnson inside the Landsberger working on Hughes.

303
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Follow-away. Anthony Roberts has got it.

304
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,000
Boy, you can tell Roberts lost some weight. He's down on weight, isn't he?

305
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:33,000
He's been down, he's been coming back, he played his best offensive game, actually all-around game against Los Angeles.

306
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000
All the Nuggets played well. They were happy to see him come back.

307
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Robert Smith was doing the same thing on Friday night.

308
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Smith, you know, didn't hit his first three, but he's got confidence.

309
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,000
He came back and he popped that one in for his first two points.

310
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,000
26-20. The Nuggets by six.

311
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
John Brown with Tom Boswell on him.

312
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Wilbur Holland, that little jumper of his.

313
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Intimidation that time from Smith, it was on him tough.

314
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,000
Chicago seemed to have struggled. They bogged down.

315
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:03,000
They tried to come down with the set offense, and they've not gotten the same type of effort with Gilmore out of the lineup.

316
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,000
When they run, they seem to get easier hoops.

317
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,000
You know, Gilmore almost averages 42 minutes a game, so he's not going to be out of there very long.

318
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,000
Here's Boswell, Landsberger on him.

319
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,000
Smith and Holland, six foot against six, five-eleven.

320
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Two seconds on the shot clock, and Hughes got it.

321
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,000
Boy, he knew the time remaining. He wasted no time.

322
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:28,000
Well, the crowd was yelling, and the only thing he could do was respond. He got a low pass, but he got a high jump.

323
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Kim Hughes, this second bucket, 28-20.

324
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Mengelt, they're not getting the ball inside, and the reason, number 53's out of there.

325
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Here's Hughes again, and he's taken over in the absence of Gilmore.

326
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Boy, he has done an excellent job of rebounding again, giving the Nuggets a chance to get down and get the opportunity shot.

327
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,000
Oli Johnson with the steal. Mengelt doesn't see the ball, and it's off of Mengelt.

328
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Fine, heads up play by Kim Hughes, who was able to bat it off of him.

329
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,000
Charles Dudley now checks in for Chicago.

330
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Leaving will be Wover Holland, so Mengelt and Dudley will be in the backcourt.

331
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,000
The thing that Larry Costello should be aware of is that his team is losing a little bit of the momentum.

332
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Certainly, I'm sure he's going to make some changes to try to get that right.

333
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,000
If they had it going and staying in the close ball game, they have not scored since the top of the period.

334
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Chicago losing on Friday night against San Diego, and there's David Thompson.

335
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:23,000
You didn't hear from him for a while, but he's come back now. He has 11 points for the afternoon.

336
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,000
And all of a sudden, Denver has jumped up to a 10-point lead.

337
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:32,000
They lead it 30 to 20 with 916 to go before halftime.

338
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,000
A reflex concern, Larry Costello.

339
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,000
We offer this $100 bill to anyone who's stronger than Eastman 910 adhesive.

340
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,000
Just a drop of Eastman 910 here and here.

341
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Pull it apart, and the money's yours.

342
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,000
There. It's only been one minute.

343
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,000
Whoa!

344
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,000
Oh, oh! Come on, no! Help!

345
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,000
No!

346
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:04,000
For the really tough jobs around your house, put your money on Eastman 910 adhesive.

347
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,000
It's stronger than you are.

348
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,000
If the football player can't do it, right, no one can.

349
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,000
You're smiling and all the while your heart just pounds away.

350
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,000
The training bills and ends on this fateful day.

351
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:22,000
It's the Pepsi Generation face-to-face.

352
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
At a frog-jumping race.

353
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Come on, come on, come on, and have a Pepsi Day.

354
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,000
Come on, come on, come on, and face the Pepsi Way.

355
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Come on, come on, and have a Pepsi Day.

356
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Introducing the new Chevy Love 4-Wheel Drive model.

357
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Motor Trend Magazine's Truck of the Year.

358
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,000
It's tough and economical.

359
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Love's estimated MPG is 23.

360
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,000
That's better than many cars.

361
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,000
It also has independent front suspension, a tight turning circle,

362
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,000
plus higher ground clearance than many full-sized 4-wheel drive pickups.

363
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000
4-wheel drive Chevy Love.

364
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Tough enough for timber country.

365
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Tough and economical for you.

366
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Chevy Trucks. Built to stay tough.

367
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Hi. Sunday.

368
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,000
I play a mother with a deaf son.

369
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Watch at Your Name is Jonah, the Sunday Night Movie Special at 9, 8 Central and Mountain.

370
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Denver with a 10-point lead, and Chicago has the big guy back in there under Skillmore.

371
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Without him in there, their offense just wasn't hitting on all cylinders.

372
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,000
They certainly bogged down, and when they got to the end of the game,

373
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,000
they had no place to really get a hoop.

374
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,000
Now he's got Gilmore back in, and they come right back in to him.

375
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,000
He goes to work.

376
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:42,000
And Artis Gilmore already has 10 points in the game this foul.

377
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,000
It's going to be Kim Hughes picking up the personal foul, and that's his second.

378
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Red and butter, that's what they always say.

379
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Go to it, and he gets it right down in here, and he knows where the hoop is,

380
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,000
and he knows he's got a strong advantage over Kim Hughes.

381
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,000
He just overpowers him.

382
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
He has two shots coming.

383
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Artis Gilmore, I'll tell you, for a big guy, he shoots very well from the line, 76%.

384
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:09,000
He is the number one field goal shooter in the NBA, with 59% coming into the day.

385
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Well, Gary, I think all the big guys now realize that you get cheap points

386
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,000
with no one guarding you at the free throw line.

387
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,000
They're taking a little bit more time to shoot those free throws a little bit better.

388
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Gilmore, pressured by Olly, or I should say Thompson pressured by Olly Johnson.

389
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Here it comes to Dudley.

390
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,000
Dudley, out of Golden State.

391
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Not much of a scorer, but he's been able to contribute as far as quarterbacking this basketball team.

392
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Again, notice the difference when Chicago has the ball and Gilmore in the game.

393
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,000
They try to push the ball up the floor.

394
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Look out, and Gilmore is hammered as he goes up.

395
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Hammered by Kim Hughes, and Hughes now with three personal,

396
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000
and they have caught a finger in the eye on that one.

397
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Dan Issel and Charlie Scott are coming in now.

398
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,000
Well, a lot of bodies underneath, and Gilmore gets that rebound off of Landsberger.

399
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,000
He keeps it alive, and again, Hughes doing the only thing he can.

400
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,000
Comes right over the top. You see the hand go across the face there.

401
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,000
Gilmore is down. I'm certain that he's all right.

402
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,000
He's taking another breather.

403
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Well, we're looking forward to seeing this guy in the All-Star Game.

404
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:13,000
A week from today, February 4th, the NBA All-Star Game from the Silver Dome and Pontiac,

405
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,000
and of course, McInnis and David Thompson will be starting in that game.

406
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000
They're going to be their big guy, and it should be a good one.

407
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,000
We'll have an interesting matchup because Artis Gilmore is an excellent rebounding center.

408
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,000
And he's going to go against the Vest in the business against Moses Malone.

409
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,000
And we'll see when they get in the basketball game just how they play inside.

410
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Clear out. It's their territory, right?

411
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Dan Issel, 44, in, along with Charlie Scott, who checked back in for the Denver Nuggets,

412
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,000
who lead it 30 to 22, 30 to 23.

413
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,000
Well, with Gilmore going as well as he is, I'm not sure that Dan Issel would like to come back

414
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000
and take some of that abuse.

415
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,000
The big guy is really overpowering people down in D.

416
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:56,000
Thirteen points for Artis Gilmore. Anthony Roberts, their second first-round draft pick last year

417
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,000
and a very good player. Thompson, it will not count.

418
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,000
He's been fouled by Dudley, but before the shot.

419
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Dudley, he can't believe it, and he's got to have a conversation about it,

420
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,000
but he was right there again. You know, you talk about that hand-checking rule,

421
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,000
and sometimes the players just don't realize when they have their hands on the other guy,

422
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:16,000
and the whistle is blown, and it's disbelief. There's no play at all.

423
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:21,000
And Charlie Scott has backed into Mingale. He's picked up a personal foul, and Scott now with two.

424
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:29,000
A problem for Charlie Scott, playing excellent basketball, and you'll see Mingale, he takes a little bit of a dive,

425
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,000
but Scott has not been able to stay in the ball game a lot because he has had foul problem.

426
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,000
That's been the story with McGinnis, and they've lost a lot of close ones with the big guys out of the lineup.

427
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Gilmore, tough shot. Anthony Roberts goes up for it.

428
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:45,000
Anthony Roberts was out six weeks with that virus, had his best game Friday night,

429
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:50,000
coming in against Los Angeles. Here's Issel. Out it comes to Thompson.

430
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Nice play by Thompson. He faked him out of there beautifully.

431
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,000
That's one of the few times you see David Thompson give a head fake and a ball fake,

432
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,000
and he got him off his feet, got an easy hoop.

433
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,000
It looked like the Nuggets had wasted a lot of good penetration for nothing,

434
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,000
and they still come away with the hoop.

435
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,000
32-23, Theus is getting ready to come back in again for Chicago.

436
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Olly Johnson into Gilmore. They tried to front him, and they got away with it.

437
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Well, that time he didn't have the ball. He had excellent position.

438
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,000
Unfortunately for Denver, he deflected the ball out of bounds.

439
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:21,000
Larry Costello is going to change his lineup. Dudley comes out,

440
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,000
and Scott May comes back in.

441
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,000
Scott May in. That's the sixth turnover against Chicago,

442
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,000
and they've been up among the leaders in that department all year long.

443
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:36,000
Scott Thompson, Issel, Anthony Roberts, and George McGinnis for Denver at this stage of the game

444
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:40,000
at the 726 mark of the second period at halftime.

445
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Have an interview with Kevin Lockery of the New Jersey Nets as McGinnis horses one in.

446
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,000
Boy, is he strong.

447
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:50,000
Well, the important thing about having that kind of strength is also having control,

448
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:54,000
and he was off balance but strong enough to get the ball to the hoop and get the basket.

449
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Eight points for McGinnis. Lansberger, the basket will count,

450
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,000
and we have a foul coming up against Charlie Scott.

451
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,000
I think Scott maybe thought he was running, too.

452
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,000
Well, you know, one of those times when a guy wants to stay in the red,

453
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,000
Charlie Scott right there, but not quite there. Lansberger leaves his feet.

454
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,000
If Charlie Scott moved over just a little bit more and not bailed out,

455
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,000
he probably would have gotten the call to go his way.

456
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Tom Boswell, 41, checks in. Bobby Wilkerson will check back in.

457
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Charlie Scott with three personal fouls. Both he and Hughes have three,

458
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,000
so Scott will leave at this stage.

459
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,000
Again, see, that's a problem that Charlie Scott has had.

460
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,000
It's not that he's not played excellent basketball.

461
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,000
It's just time out on the floor, and you can't do anything from the bench, Gary.

462
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:38,000
There's Lansberger, completes a three-point play, and it's 34-26.

463
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,000
Lansberger now with seven points.

464
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:45,000
This game has kind of a flavor that they had the first time they met here.

465
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,000
Denver dominated and had the lead, but they could not really big enough lead

466
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,000
and bury them, and Chicago came back in the second half.

467
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,000
See, Fiasso's long arms reaching in. Wilkerson, well, he's getting the shooting slump,

468
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,000
but that ought to help his confidence a little bit.

469
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Oh, anytime you can feather him from out there, you know you're going to put up

470
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,000
a couple more balls, and we'll see what happens,

471
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,000
but he's a player that really tries hard, he works real hard.

472
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,000
Good things will happen for him because he puts a lot of effort out there.

473
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,000
Ten-point lead, Scott May, tough shot, rebound, Issel.

474
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,000
Issel off to Boswell.

475
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Boswell will hold it up.

476
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,000
The McGuinness, George inside, rejected by Gilmore.

477
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,000
That strength against strength there.

478
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,000
Wilkerson again.

479
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,000
You can't bring that cheap stuff in there, so they go to the outside,

480
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,000
and Bobby Wilkerson, he delivers.

481
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,000
You go in there and they test you, don't they?

482
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,000
They trick you.

483
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,000
What they do is they turn their back, make you think it's open,

484
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,000
and all of a sudden they turn around and knock it away.

485
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,000
38-26, six minutes to go.

486
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,000
What a move by Reggie Fiasso.

487
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,000
That's a little Houdini.

488
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Now you see it, now you don't.

489
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:52,000
Just little flashes like that, it gets you excited about this young rookie.

490
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,000
He is big at 6'7", and he can move inside.

491
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,000
Here's McGuinness out to Issel.

492
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,000
Here's Gilmore, and he's got an off-balance shot.

493
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,000
You know, Issel's had a tough time finding his role on this team.

494
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Well, he struggled, you know, basically he's an outside player

495
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,000
for most of the big centers.

496
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Chicago double dribbles and blows an excellent offensive opportunity.

497
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,000
So we have the ball turned over by Chicago.

498
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Let's look again at Fiasso's move.

499
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,000
A little magic right there.

500
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,000
He showed Bobby Wilkerson the baseline and spun away clean,

501
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,000
and Chicago has a 10-point disadvantage.

502
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Owens Corning would like to help you understand insulation R values.

503
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,000
R stands for resistance to heat flow.

504
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,000
It's the right way to measure insulating power, not thickness.

505
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Look, it takes about 18 feet of stone to give you an R value of R-19,

506
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:46,000
but only 15 inches of wood and 6 inches of this Owens Corning fiberglass insulation.

507
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,000
So check for R value.

508
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,000
The higher the R value, the greater the insulating power.

509
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Want to know about insulation?

510
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,000
Ask the experts.

511
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,000
Ask Owens Corning.

512
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:02,000
All across our land, people know our brand.

513
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,000
You can trust AC.

514
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,000
Thanks, AC.

515
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,000
Spark plugs by AC.

516
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,000
Say that, men.

517
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,000
You can trust AC spark plugs.

518
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:12,000
And remember AC filters to help protect your engine from dirt and dust.

519
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,000
Right, men?

520
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,000
Men?

521
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Hens!

522
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Drive through dirt and dust.

523
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Good filters are a must.

524
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,000
You can trust AC.

525
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Thanks, AC.

526
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000
Filters by AC.

527
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,000
Plugs and filters by AC.

528
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Plugs and filters by AC.

529
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:33,000

00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,000
Next Sunday, mark this down on your sports calendar.

540
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,000
The NBA All-Star Game from the Silver Dome and Pontiac.

541
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,000
Three players here this afternoon will be checking in there.

542
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,000
Artist Gilmore along with George McInnes and David Thompson.

543
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:16,000
The Dr. Julius Irving will be matching up against his former teammate McInnes in that game.

544
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,000
Firepower, that's what we'll have at that All-Star Game.

545
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,000
And it really should be exciting.

546
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,000
East against the West, 1.45 next Sunday.

547
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,000
Ten point lead now for Denver.

548
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Five and a half minutes to go before intermission.

549
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,000
Dan Issel to Wilkerson.

550
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:34,000
Broken up nicely and Issel very alertly picks it up.

551
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,000
Dan Issel got that basket that time before.

552
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,000
He tried to get Gilmore off his feet and didn't get it.

553
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,000
Threw the ball up and Chicago got it back and wasted it.

554
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,000
And he got it off his feet this time and he scored.

555
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,000
Issel averaging 16 and a half after last year.

556
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,000
Averaging a little over 21.

557
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,000
Nice play by Theus, but you saw McInnes get up there.

558
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:55,000
It's going to be Chicago's ball, but again, Theus showing great agility in there.

559
00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:00,000
Did a good job of boxing down and deep and we had heard during the timeout,

560
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:05,000
Larry Brown saying give help on defense and that time McInnes does so and they stop Theus' effort.

561
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:06,000
Look at that.

562
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,000
Oh, I tell you, he stretched that arm up and just kept going.

563
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,000
It wouldn't go for him though.

564
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,000
40-28.

565
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,000
McInnes down quickly.

566
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,000
One thing about George, for a big man, he really gets down the floor in a hurry.

567
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,000
Well, he has amazing foot speed and quickness and that's what you don't realize about him.

568
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,000
He runs like a small forward.

569
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,000
Tommy Boswell does a good job of working down and deep right there.

570
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,000
And you wonder sometimes why Boston let him go.

571
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:34,000
May has his hands all over him, squeezes right down the lane between a bunch of folks, gets it off the glass.

572
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,000
They're going to call that foul on Wilbur Holland.

573
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,000
That's his first, second team foul now against Chicago.

574
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,000
Boswell at the line.

575
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,000
There he is.

576
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,000
He played kind of a role in Boston.

577
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:49,000
And he's an all-around player and he's coming here and they let him play an all-around style of game.

578
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,000
His role was an oxygen breaker.

579
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,000
He just came in and gave people a blow.

580
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,000
All right.

581
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,000
Well, it was a role anyway.

582
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,000
Here's Reggie Theus, off to Wilbur Holland.

583
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,000
Artis Gilmore back to Holland.

584
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,000
Nice set up that time by Artis.

585
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,000
That's one thing that makes them very tough with Holland in the game.

586
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:11,000
He shoots the ball well from the outside and when they can go inside and bring it back out,

587
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,000
they flatten the defense out and they get a good shot.

588
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,000
Thirteen-point lead now for Denver.

589
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,000
Issel from the side.

590
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,000
For a big guy, he can shoot with anybody.

591
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:26,000
Well, you know, if they say advantage, Issel, and when his advantage is having Gilmore on the perimeter shooting the ball there.

592
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,000
Gilmore almost missed that play.

593
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,000
Holland said, let's settle down a little bit now.

594
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,000
And it goes to the big guy.

595
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,000
That's a funny shot.

596
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,000
It changed it halfway up.

597
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:41,000
Well, I think you realize he was a little bit further out in his hooking range.

598
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,000
He does not have that sky hook like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

599
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,000
Consequently, he doesn't have that automatic confidence about it.

600
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:48,000
He wheels around.

601
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,000
He likes to face Tabasco a little bit more.

602
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,000
Well, he had a loose ball foul on Scott Mayer.

603
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,000
Robert Smith, number five, will come in.

604
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:59,000
So Wilkerson and Smith will be the backcourt tandem as we have McGuinness.

605
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,000
And Boswell evidently shaken up.

606
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,000
We have a twenty-second injury timeout for him.

607
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Issel and McGuinness, the other two now in the lineup for Denver.

608
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,000
It's been a tough physical game, but when you have Gilmore inside,

609
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:13,000
you can't stay out of that realm because everybody's boxing in on him,

610
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,000
trying to reach in on him.

611
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,000
He's so strong and overpowering, you have to give help,

612
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,000
and that's where the physicality comes in to play.

613
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:26,000
Gilmore is an overpowering type of player, and no one individual in this league can handle him.

614
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,000
They need Chamberlain to come back, and he was thinking about going to Chicago.

615
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,000
That's right.

616
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,000
Lee Jones spots a reaching-in foul that time.

617
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,000
That's Gilmore.

618
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,000
And Gilmore's second personal foul.

619
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,000
Gilmore, though, will stay out of foul trouble.

620
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,000
Normally he does not foul out of many basketball games.

621
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,000
His problem here is with Issel, who goes to the perimeter well,

622
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,000
and he gives a little fake from the outside and goes by him.

623
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,000
So he'll have to be cognizant of that.

624
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,000
Three forty-six to go before halftime.

625
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:58,000
And halftime, Kevin Lockery, a guy who's had a few technical fouls call on him this year.

626
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,000
The New Jersey Nets call it for coach.

627
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,000
And there is Bobby Wilkerson on a give-and-go.

628
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,000
Nine points for Wilkerson.

629
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Denver has really got good offensive execution going.

630
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,000
They bogged down earlier, but they've got it back.

631
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Chicago is going to have to bounce back, and they're coming right back inside to Gilmore.

632
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,000
Gilmore at that time didn't want to get it off.

633
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,000
Scott May.

634
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,000
Wait a minute.

635
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,000
Who's got it?

636
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:19,000
Robert Smith.

637
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Well, I guess he didn't travel with it.

638
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,000
And the crowd here wasn't sure.

639
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:29,000
Well, the Nuggets are doing an excellent job on defense by sending three men to Gilmore.

640
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Here comes Theus.

641
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,000
Seventeen-point lead for Denver.

642
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,000
Chicago kind of out of their offense right now.

643
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,000
Well, they seem to be passing up the open man.

644
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:39,000
That time Scott May was open.

645
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,000
He elected to give it to Holland.

646
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,000
Look at that move by McEnnis, would you?

647
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:44,000
To Wilkerson.

648
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,000
I tell you, when McEnnis gets loose like that, you just got to get out of the area.

649
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,000
Fast break opportunities.

650
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:54,000
And when you get players with those kinds of capabilities running loose, you're going to have all kinds of fouls.

651
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,000
He went inside, made an excellent move, brought the defense to him,

652
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:02,000
and he dishes off into a wide-open Bobby Wilkerson, and they get the basket.

653
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:07,000
Again, McEnnis working hard, pulls the defense to him, and there's nobody by Bobby Wilkerson.

654
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:12,000
You can't make those. You can't play.

655
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,000
This is it.

656
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:17,000
This is it. America's up. New Chevrolet.

657
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:21,000
America, if you're looking for a full-size car that goes easy on the gas.

658
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,000
This is it.

659
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,000
And easy on the road.

660
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:26,000
This is it.

661
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,000
A car with all kinds of room inside.

662
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:29,000
This is it.

663
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:34,000
The new Chevrolet, a new generation car brought and embraced by more than a million people in its first two years.

664
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,000
Caprice and Impala for 1979.

665
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:41,000
This is it. America's up. New Chevrolet.

666
00:48:41,000 --> 00:49:04,000
Outward Bound. Road to Spain.

667
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:08,000
The Navy. See your local recruiter or call toll free.

668
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:14,000
It's not just a job. It's an adventure.

669
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:21,000
Is Gillette foamy, thick and rich enough to hold this human cannonball?

670
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:22,000
No.

671
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:27,000
Is foamy, thick and rich enough to hold back this puffback?

672
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:28,000
No.

673
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:32,000
Is foamy, thick and rich enough to support this skydiver?

674
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,000
No.

675
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:39,000
But if you want a clean, close shave, it's more than thick and rich enough.

676
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:48,000
Next Saturday on the New Look CBS Sports Spectacular, take a look at this.

677
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:54,000
The Pro-Ice Spectacular with gold medalists Peggy Fleming and John Curry.

678
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,000
Plus the fight of the week.

679
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:04,000
From Hawaii, men's World Team Surfing Championship. Plus live coverage of the start of the 24 hours of Daytona.

680
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:08,000
You'll say you saw it on CBS Sports.

681
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:17,000
Denver with a 19 point lead. Chicago trying to regroup forces. They bring John Brown into the forward. He has the ball now.

682
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,000
Brown with a mismatch. Smith on him.

683
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:27,000
Mathias into Gilmore. They go back to the guy that's carried him all the way and that shot just won't go for him.

684
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,000
Here they come on the run. Three, four on one.

685
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,000
And Wilkerson to Issel and nice play.

686
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:39,000
Well they nearly didn't get it because they couldn't get the ball in the middle. They had three guys on one side and Holland could almost zone up on them.

687
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,000
But they do get the basket as Wilkerson goes all the way in.

688
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:47,000
You talk about Gilmore, they're giving two and three guys on him, but Chicago has no movement anyplace else.

689
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:53,000
There's Holland open. That was a fine pass. Heads up by Theus. That's what you said earlier. He sees the floor so well.

690
00:50:53,000 --> 00:51:03,000
Theus sees the ball and the court. He gives it to the people that are open. Now Chicago must put the ball in from the perimeter to loosen it up inside so Gilmore can go back to work again.

691
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:09,000
51-32. A minute 51 till halftime. Issel in and he's charged.

692
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,000
He picks up the foul running into Wilbur Holland.

693
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:18,000
At halftime, Rod Hundley will visit with New Jersey Nets coach Kevin Lockery.

694
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Well you see right there, Gilmore giving away to Issel who had gone by so he doesn't get the foul.

695
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:28,000
Holland doing the thing the coaches always talk about, giving help even the big guys need help.

696
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:35,000
As the second foul on Issel, another turnover. Chicago playing with the turnovers. Here's Robert Smith.

697
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,000
And Denver right now is off and moving.

698
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:45,000
Well they're blowing them away right now and it's because Chicago is struggling offensively. They've come in and they've said offense is broken down.

699
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:54,000
They're not getting easy offensive opportunities and the Denver Nuggets are applying good pressure in the middle and they come up with another steal and an easy hoop.

700
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:59,000
Tom Moswell. That is a tenth turnover in this game against Chicago.

701
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:09,000
All of a sudden when it looked like Chicago was going so well and going to get back in that basketball game, they broke down. They've only had a couple of hoops.

702
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,000
And they've gone exclusively to Gilmore right here.

703
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,000
Holland's the only guy that's been scoring and he hits again from the side.

704
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:21,000
At the one quarter mark it was a four point game and all of a sudden it's 55-34.

705
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:22,000
McGinnis on the move.

706
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:29,000
The thing that's obvious to me, Steve, is that Denver's tempo is so much quicker. Chicago can't seem to pick up their tempo and compensate.

707
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:35,000
Well, Chicago only really has one style of play and that's basically to come down and set up and that hurts them very much.

708
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:40,000
The Nuggets, on the other hand, can run the set offense and they also can run off the break.

709
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:45,000
Now they've been fortunate to get the easy opportunities and they've cast in on them.

710
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:56,000
Chicago, when they made their changes in the substitution, they seem to have broken their rhythm and they have not gotten back to the offensive firepower that they had early in the basketball game.

711
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:00,000
McGinnis has been dominant in this period and Thompson has been sitting on the bench.

712
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:06,000
McGinnis converts both of them. That last foul on Landsberger, his first, and it's 57-34.

713
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:14,000
McGinnis in this game has 10 points, 13 for Thompson, 8 for Issel, 11 Wilkerson. So good, balanced scoring by the Denver Nuggets.

714
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,000
Wilbur Hollins trying to hit three in a row.

715
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:20,000
Landsberger comes away with it. He has 13 rebounds in this game.

716
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:24,000
And a little push and a shove and who's this one on?

717
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,000
It's Kim Hughes. He has four fouls.

718
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:33,000
Kim Hughes is real active and he's trying to get the ball and he does an excellent job of blocking this shot right here.

719
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:39,000
You see he gets them off the feet. Hughes goes up, gets the piece of the ball, then Gilmore comes in, he comes over Gilmore's back.

720
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:48,000
Chicago has the ball out, but they need a lot more plays like that. Kim Hughes takes a break, McGinnis takes a break, and David Thompson is back in the basketball game.

721
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,000
30 seconds left in this period.

722
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:54,000
And also Anthony Roberts checks in. As you said, 30 seconds left before halftime.

723
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:58,000
Here's Landsberger forcing one in and that's not a bad move.

724
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:05,000
He's real nice around the basket and he tries to get in that red area and anytime he can get down in there, he's got an excellent chance of getting the ball in.

725
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Chicago having to play some catch-up basketball.

726
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,000
That's the worst kind of play.

727
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:16,000
Boy, it is, particularly when the big guy's being boxed in and guarded inside like he is.

728
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,000
Gilmore comes away, but Anthony Roberts with the steal.

729
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Three seconds left.

730
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,000
Gilmore trying to keep it away and he does.

731
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:28,000
And so the first half comes to a close here at McNichols Arena.

732
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:37,000
As the Denver Nuggets, after moving off very quickly to an 11-4 lead, had a four-point lead after the first period and now 57-36.

733
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,000
And half time.

734
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:08,000
Kicking up!

735
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,000
America is turning seven up!

736
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,000
Gee, Mr. Goodrench, I don't know. It's going...

737
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:19,000
Kathump. Kathump. Kathump. Kathump. Kathump. Kathump. Kathump.

738
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:20,000
Yeah.

739
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:23,000
Mr. Goodrench understands your GM car.

740
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:29,000
He has special GM training and GM equipment available to help him analyze your car and diagnose the problem.

741
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,000
No more Kathump. Thanks.

742
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:35,000
Keep that great GM feeling

743
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:36,000
Mr. Goodrench?

744
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:40,000
With genuine GM parts.

745
00:55:40,000 --> 00:56:07,000
I understand.

746
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,000
This has one push leaning.

747
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:20,000
Because of a certain ability I possess, I've been asked to tell you all the useful shopping information you can find in the Bell System Yellow Pages.

748
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:32,000
Names, addresses, phone numbers, maps, directions, credit cards, items for sale, charge accounts, deferred payment plans, brand names, regular valet parking, custom work, machine work, quantity discounts, colors, days and hours of business, insurance, bonding, deliveries, endorsements, cash and carry, 24-hour service, estimates, illustrations, years in business, same day...

749
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:37,000
When you need to know who, what, where, when, and why,

750
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:41,000
let your fingers do the walking through the Bell System Yellow Pages.

751
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:52,000
Thank you.

752
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:55,000
Basketball is everyone's game.

753
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,000
Short folks, tall folks,

754
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:58,000
girl folks,

755
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,000
boy folks,

756
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:00,000
young folks,

757
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:02,000
all folks.

758
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:09,000
Basketball is everyone's game.

759
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:15,000
Basketball, it's your game.

760
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:19,000
The Denver Nuggets with a 57-36 lead.

761
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:23,000
Well, Kevin Lockery of the New Jersey Nets has always been a very vocal guy.

762
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:29,000
Rod Hunley visited with him.

763
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:34,000
I'm Rod Hunley and last week on the beautiful campus of Princeton University at Princeton, New Jersey,

764
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:38,000
I was able to corner one of the most controversial coaches in the NBA,

765
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:43,000
Kevin Lockery of the New Jersey Nets.

766
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,000
Oh, no, no, technical. Oh, Rod.

767
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:46,000
Oh, this is a cost.

768
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,000
Hey, no fine, no technicals.

769
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:51,000
I've been down at Piscataway, New Jersey looking for you.

770
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,000
They'd send me over to Meadowlands. I go over there, there's a big hole in the ground.

771
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,000
They said go over to Princeton University. Here I am.

772
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:57,000
Were you trying to hide from people?

773
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,000
Well, we haven't been playing too well and when we're not playing well,

774
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,000
we move around trying to get a victory, change the pace.

775
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:02,000
Come on, let's go ahead and talk.

776
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,000
Okay, come on in.

777
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,000
I want to talk to you about the referees.

778
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:07,000
Okay.

779
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:08,000
One of your favorites.

780
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,000
All right.

781
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:13,000
Well, Kevin has been since 1963, last time we played against each other.

782
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,000
This is the first chance we've had to sit down and talk about basketball.

783
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,000
The game has changed, in particular, the referee.

784
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,000
And you lead the league in technical fouls.

785
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,000
I've led the league the last couple of seasons in technical fouls.

786
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:28,000
I think, Rod, when we played, there was less players and less officials.

787
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:32,000
And we became friendly with the officials and not nearly as many technicals.

788
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:35,000
It's a changing game and I think if we were more friendly together,

789
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,000
the officials and the coaching would be less technical.

790
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,000
How about now you've got three referees instead of two?

791
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,000
That's one more guy that's got a shot at you.

792
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:46,000
Well, the chances are 33% better now that I get a technical in a basketball game.

793
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,000
All right, the referee has just hit you with the second technical foul.

794
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,000
You know you're out of the building. Your wife's sitting up in the stands.

795
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,000
How does she react to all this?

796
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:56,000
Well, she reacts all right now, but the first time she'd see me coach,

797
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,000
she couldn't believe it because off the floor and away from the game,

798
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,000
I'm a little low-key compared to the way I work.

799
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:07,000
And she was extremely surprised when she saw the way I work the basketball game.

800
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,000
But she's used to it by now.

801
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,000
And I bet in particular when she sees a new dress you like to have,

802
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,000
and there goes that money out the window.

803
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,000
Who pays these fans? You pay them?

804
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,000
Well, unfortunately, for our club, they pay them.

805
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:23,000
Hey, you have two sons, Kevin Jr. and Steven. They both play basketball.

806
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,000
How do they react to their dad getting technical fouls?

807
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:28,000
The one thing I tell them is make sure you never get a technical foul

808
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:33,000
because if they start getting technicals, people will think they're like the old man.

809
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,000
So I tell them, make sure you stay off your faces when you're playing.

810
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:40,000
How about basketball in New Jersey? It's got to be a little frustrating.

811
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:43,000
You win the ABA. You win the ABA championship.

812
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:46,000
You had the good doctor, Julius Irving. You win 55 games.

813
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,000
Then the next year they merge. You come in in the NBA.

814
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,000
And your first year you won 22 and lost 60. It's got to be a little frustrating.

815
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:55,000
It really is because we've seen what the other teams on the ABA,

816
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,000
particularly San Antonio and Denver, has done.

817
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:02,000
And we were able to beat them for two out of three championships in the ABA.

818
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:05,000
If we could have came over with our ball club intact,

819
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:08,000
I really honestly believe now from being in the league three years

820
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,000
that we had a chance to win it all in the NBA also.

821
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,000
Well, you played 11 years in the NBA, Kevin.

822
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,000
You scored over 10,000 career points and never played in an NBA All-Star game.

823
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:20,000
Well, someone said that I scored 10,000 points, but the guys I would guard

824
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:24,000
and scored 11,000. So I guess that's the reason I didn't make the All-Star.

825
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,000
The fans vote on it now. In those days when you played, it was the sports writers.

826
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:28,000
You like that better?

827
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:32,000
I'm all for the fans voting on it, even though there'll be some discrepancies.

828
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:35,000
Some players, some teams will load up their ballot boxes.

829
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:39,000
But I believe the fans pays the tariff for this league.

830
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:44,000
It's an entertainment business and any time you got them sharing in a situation in the league,

831
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:45,000
I think it's good for basketball.

832
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,000
Well, Kevin, you guys have pretty much weathered the storm.

833
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:53,000
You started as the New York Nets in the ABA, changed to the New York Nets in the NBA,

834
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:57,000
and then moved to New Jersey, still the Nets, and playing in a lot of different places.

835
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:01,000
First the Coliseum, and then you moved into Pitchcaddyway, New Jersey,

836
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:05,000
and now a chance to move into one of the most beautiful complexes in the world,

837
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,000
and that's going to be at Meadowland.

838
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:11,000
Well, I think we've got a chance, Hot Rod, to soon we keep continuing on

839
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,000
and become a successful basketball team on the floor,

840
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:18,000
which we've improved with the 500 level with a chance for the playoff now.

841
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:22,000
When we get into the new building in Meadowland, I think it has a chance to be

842
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:26,000
not only one of the best franchises in basketball and most successful, but in all of sports.

843
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,000
Hey, Kevin, is that a world championship NBA ring?

844
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:33,000
It's not an NBA ring, Hot Rod. It's the last ABA championship ring.

845
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:37,000
When we were in the ABA, we beat Denver, which is a fine ball club.

846
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:43,000
We had Dr. J, Rich Jones at the forward, Kim Hughes, Brian Taylor, and John Williamson at the guards.

847
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:49,000
Several other great players, and I seen you last week on the halftime with Kevin Grieve on CBS Halftime.

848
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,000
You're trying to get his ring. There's no way you got his. There's no way you're getting mine.

849
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,000
The only way you ever get a ring, Hot Rod, is to make a comeback.

850
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,000
Fat chance I got.

851
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,000
This is the first of eight consecutive games on this road trip, so good luck to you.

852
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,000
You gotta be a good boy. No technicals, huh?

853
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,000
I will, Hot Rod. Thank you very much.

854
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:11,000
It's halftime. The Denver Nuggets with an 11-point lead over the Chicago Bulls.

855
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:16,000
The NBA on CBS will continue after this word from your local station.

856
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,000
He's at his fighting best.

857
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:26,000
John Wayne stars as Big Jake on the CBS Tuesday Night Movies at 9, 8 Central and Mountain.

858
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:30,000
This is CBS.

859
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:44,000
At the conclusion of today's game in each of our NBA telecast during the season, we'll be selecting the Chevrolet, most valuable player of the game.

860
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:52,000
In conjunction with this award, Chevrolet will present a check for $1,000 to the General Scholarship Fund of the Players College or University.

861
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:58,000
Any student may be eligible to benefit from these scholarship funds, and today's winner will be announced at the end of this telecast.

862
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:06,000
Steve Jones, you and I will be voting for the MVP, and should we disagree, our producer Bill Barnes will cast the deciding vote.

863
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:10,000
So in this first half of play, it's been the Denver Nuggets rolling very well.

864
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:20,000
They've been paced in scoring by David Thompson's 13, Wilkerson has added 11, George McGinnis 10, Issel with 8 points.

865
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:24,000
The Andy Williams San Diego Open is underway again today.

866
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:30,000
Yesterday, Fuzzy Zeller had a two-stroke lead. For an update, let's go to Ben Scully.

867
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:38,000
Yesterday, we had to go off the air before showing you Bill Cratchit's 18th hole.

868
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:46,000
He had hit his second shot into the gallery, had taken a drop, finally chipped onto the green and three, and so he had this putt for Birdie.

869
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,000
He was two under at the time.

870
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:59,000
He got his birdie at 18 to go to three under par and join Billy Casper and Gil Morgan at three under, three shots back of the tournament leader Fuzzy Zeller.

871
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:04,000
Yesterday, the weather was magnificent. We probably sold a lot of real estate in Southern California.

872
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:14,000
Today, they might be giving it back. We have a 30-mile-an-hour wind, a definite threat of rain, so Fuzzy Zeller's two-stroke lead is very much up in the wind,

873
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:24,000
chased by Jerry McGee at four under, then the trio, Casper Morgan and Cratchit at three, and Lee Trevino lurking in the weeds, four shot back at two under par.

874
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:28,000
That's it as we await the final round of the Andy Williams San Diego Open.

875
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:32,000
Now, this is Ben Scully in La Jolla. Back to NBA basketball.

876
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:42,000
Welcome back to McNichols Arena, the home of the Denver Nuggets, who at halftime have an 11-point lead over the Chicago Bulls.

877
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:51,000
As in this first half of play, very fine shooting by the Denver Nuggets. They are shooting almost 58% from the field.

878
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:58,000
On the other hand, Chicago has not been hitting that well for the field. They're shooting just under 33%.

879
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:06,000
The turnover department, 11 turnovers for Chicago in this first half of play, as opposed to eight for the Denver Nuggets.

880
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:14,000
Rebounding wise, surprisingly too, is that Denver is out rebounding the Chicago Bulls at halftime 28-23.

881
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:22,000
So it's been a very fine first half for the Denver Nuggets. We have one, two, three men in double figures in this first half of play.

882
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:32,000
They've been able to go to the bench and maintain that advantage. On the other hand, the Chicago Bulls have gotten an outstanding performance from Artis Gilmore with a total of 13 points.

883
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:37,000
He's followed by Landsberger, who's played well. He has a total of nine points and 13 rebounds.

884
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:41,000
All right, let's join Steve Jones. He's with David Thompson.

885
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:45,000
I'm here with David Thompson and everybody's all-league all-star.

886
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:54,000
David, Friday night you had an excellent basketball game. You seem to be much more under control. Your offense is a little bit easier for you.

887
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:59,000
Today you have 13 points. You seem to be going pretty good. What do you think the reasoning for that?

888
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:06,000
Well, I get more into the flow of the game and I'm taking the ball a little more myself.

889
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:10,000
I'm going a little more individual, taking the ball to the basket.

890
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:18,000
Anytime my outside shot is on, it seems to help my overall game. And that's really been the key. I've been shooting the ball a lot better from outside.

891
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:22,000
You think you've finally adjusted to playing the outside position playing guard.

892
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:29,000
I know that you're a lot more comfortable when you can catch the ball instead of having to bring it up to court. You think you've finally adjusted to playing outside.

893
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:35,000
Yeah, I'm getting used to it. I'm getting better more and more with more experience.

894
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:44,000
Basically, my game is 15 feet and on end, but now I'm working on my outside game, handling the ball a little more and just getting a better feel of the overall game.

895
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:48,000
All right, David, we want to thank you. We'll be looking forward to seeing you at the all-star game. Have a good second half.

896
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:49,000
Thank you, Steve.

897
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:56,000
Thank you, gentlemen. 57-36. That's our halftime score. The Denver Nuggets on top.

898
01:06:56,000 --> 01:07:20,000
We're going to be back with the start of the second half in just a moment.

899
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:40,000
Jason, bad guys is not so glamorous outside of the movies.

900
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:46,000
You find you spend a lot of time on stakeouts eating cold pizza and you'd rather be someplace else having a cold beer.

901
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:51,000
For me, that'd be one of these white beer from Miller. Just in case I got to move fast.

902
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:59,000
See, lights got a 30 less calories than a regular beer and it's less filling and it tastes just great. Ain't that right, Mugsy?

903
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:05,000
Like beer from Miller, everything you always wanted in a beer and less.

904
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:12,000
A family is about to lose its home forever. Not the home on the left. All state homeowners insurance can pay to rebuild that house.

905
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:17,000
The real disaster is on the right. The owner died before the mortgage was paid.

906
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:23,000
All state life has mortgage protection insurance to help give your family a debt-free home if you die.

907
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:27,000
You need mortgage protection insurance, too. So your family won't lose its home.

908
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:37,000
See your Allstate agent for both kinds of insurance. Make sure your home lives on. You're in good hands with Allstate.

909
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:44,000
Come along, R2. You can't have whooping cough. Droid's don't get dangerous diseases like whooping cough or measles.

910
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:49,000
But children do and they can get very sick, even die.

911
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:58,000
R2, let me tell them. Parents of Earth, childhood diseases can be prevented. Call your doctor or local health department.

912
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:07,000
Immunize your children, please. And may the force be with you.

913
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:16,000
The preceding announcement was brought to you as a public service by the National Basketball Association.

914
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:22,000
The NBA on CBS is sponsored by Hertz, the superstar in rent-a-car.

915
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:27,000
The Miller Brewing Company, brewers of Miller Highlight. If you've got the time, we've got the beer.

916
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:38,000
And by Chevrolet and Chevrolet dealers coast to coast.

917
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:45,000
14,165 on hand for this one. And Steve, we talked about the stats a little bit earlier.

918
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:48,000
Shooting-wise, Denver has really gotten the better of that.

919
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:53,000
Well, the shots come from the types of shots. They're 58 percent because they're getting shots that the players can make.

920
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:57,000
They get an easy opportunity shot coming without a lot of defensive pressure on there.

921
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:00,000
And consequently, they're shooting 58 in Chicago, only 33.

922
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:05,000
At a 21-point lead now for the Denver Nuggets. Charlie Scott off to Issel.

923
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:09,000
He is in there along with McGinnis, Bobby Wilkerson, and David Thompson.

924
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:13,000
The same five that started this game. Scott, a tough shot.

925
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,000
Mickey Johnson is back in there for Chicago. He didn't see a lot of playing time.

926
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:22,000
And an easy two for Wilbur Holland. So Holland, Theus, Mickey Johnson, Mark Landsberger played very well in the first day.

927
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:26,000
And Artis Gilmore opened the second half for Larry Costello.

928
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:31,000
Bobby Wilkerson down the middle. And what a game he is having. He has 13 points.

929
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:35,000
Well, Mickey Johnson is looking all the way over at the bench wondering who was supposed to give him help.

930
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:39,000
But that time he got screened. Wilkerson came down the lane and there were three red shirts in there.

931
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,000
Got to have a little bit better communication.

932
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:47,000
There's Theus showing a move. Landsberger inside again. And he has a bundle of rebound, but he can't get it to go.

933
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,000
Bundle of rebound and no points to show for it.

934
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:56,000
Landsberger had 14 rebounds in that first half. Broken up. It will be Denver's basketball.

935
01:10:56,000 --> 01:11:00,000
A fine offensive rebound to Landsberger, but he's got to be able to finish it off.

936
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:03,000
It's like being able to close a deal.

937
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:08,000
So now Wilkerson wide open McGinnis. They rubbed off Landsberger, but they didn't get the basket.

938
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:14,000
Issel, to David Thompson. And that will be off of Thompson, Chicago's basketball.

939
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:20,000
Well, when you're down by 21 and a half, what do you tell your team? Just kind of chip away at it?

940
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:25,000
Well, you tell them we would like to be within a 10-point range, 10-12-point range at the start of the fourth quarter.

941
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:32,000
They always say, boys, we can't get it all back at once, so let's take one basket at a time, have good offensive execution, play a little bit better defense.

942
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:35,000
Make them shoot the ball from the perimeter. Let us get the layup.

943
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:39,000
Landsberger that time. He shot that one up high, didn't he?

944
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:43,000
Good rebound and a follow shot. It is 59 to 40.

945
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:50,000
The thing the Bulls have been able to do at the start of this quarter is get two and three tries at the hoop, and if you can do that, you've always got a chance.

946
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:53,000
David Thompson pulling up with one.

947
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:56,000
And it's saved by Bobby Wilkerson.

948
01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:02,000
McGinnis, George McGinnis, he loves that shot. McGinnis now with 12 points.

949
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:08,000
The thing that the Chicago Bulls must concentrate on doing is making the Denver Nuggets now come down and set up every time

950
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:12,000
and try and make them put that ball up from the outside with some defensive pressure on them.

951
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:16,000
Mickey Johnson can't get it to go. Here comes David Thompson.

952
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:20,000
In that first half, Johnson didn't even score. He picked up two quick fouls.

953
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,000
Wilkerson from the corner.

954
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:26,000
Thompson, they're getting a follow, multiple shots, and they're getting the baskets.

955
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:30,000
And that's going to get Larry Costello off his feet. He's going to have a talk. He's going to say,

956
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:35,000
fellow, you didn't understand a word I said at halftime. We'll have to do the same thing all over again.

957
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:39,000
So they've fallen behind two more. They trail by 21 and a half.

958
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:43,000
It's now 63 to 40, 940 second period.

959
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:07,000
Sometimes it seems the whole world is burning and you don't think it'll ever go out.

960
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:13,000
But sooner or later, the fire does die. And it isn't the water and axes that do it.

961
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:17,000
It's you and a handful of tired men.

962
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:24,000
Now comes Miller time. Time to finally head for the best tasting beer you can find.

963
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:48,000
Miller High Life, America's quality beer since 1855.

964
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:58,000
Introducing Hertz takeoff rates. Save up to 35% on the average weekday rental when you take off Thursday through Sunday for a minimum of two to three days.

965
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:02,000
Takeoff in a subcompact for only $13.95 a day.

966
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,000
Paramounts, $15.95.

967
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,000
Granada, $17.95.

968
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:09,000
Thunderbirds, $21.95 a day.

969
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:11,000

There are some restrictions, so check with Hertz.

971
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:18,000
Takeoff next weekend with Hertz, low takeoff rates.

972
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:22,000
From the author of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid comes Mr. Horn.

973
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:24,000
His story is more than just another Western.

974
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:31,000
David Carradine and Richard Widmark star in Mr. Horn.

975
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:32,000
23 point lead for Denver.

976
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:35,000
And Otse Castello was upset during that timeout.

977
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:37,000
He said, you didn't listen to what I said in halftime.

978
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:39,000
They come right back. They put the top on that one.

979
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:44,000
He was telling them basically in that timeout, fellas, it starts right here with us.

980
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:47,000
We've got to each play our own man and play some individual defense.

981
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:48,000
He went down a lot.

982
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,000
It's a good 7-2, 6-10, and 6-8.

983
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:52,000
We're not getting any rebounds.

984
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:56,000
True, they had a guy like David Thompson, 6-3, taking it right over the top,

985
01:14:56,000 --> 01:15:00,000
doing it all offensively and getting offensive rebounds, and that certainly hurts him.

986
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,000
Boy, boy, can he get up in the air.

987
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:04,000
Every time I see him, I just can't get over him.

988
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:06,000
65-42.

989
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:12,000
David Thompson scoring his 17th point.

990
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:15,000
Control is so important in the basketball game.

991
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:18,000
You'll see Thompson here completely under control, goes up.

992
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:19,000
Gilmore tries to come over.

993
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:24,000
It's Mickey Johnson trying to come over, but he's there too late.

994
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:29,000
Chicago turning that ball over for the 12th time.

995
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:32,000
Got a foul. Looks like it's Mickey Johnson.

996
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:36,000
Look at Phoenix and Boston leading Golden State.

997
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:37,000
The Warriors have some problems right now.

998
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:38,000
Well, the Warriors are struggling.

999
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:40,000
A lot of teams seem to be struggling today.

1000
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:45,000
Visiting teams are having a tough time coming away with any kind of thing.

1001
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,000
Carly Scott removing the ball around.

1002
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:49,000
They're getting more and more cracks at it.

1003
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:52,000
You can't win basketball games like that, and Costello's deciding so.

1004
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:56,000
Here's Landsberger now with 17 rebounds in this game.

1005
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,000
Mickey Johnson playing with three fouls.

1006
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:00,000
That's a tough one.

1007
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:01,000
He got away with it, though.

1008
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:02,000
He got away with it.

1009
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:06,000
Mickey Johnson needs to get himself involved in the basketball game offensively,

1010
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:08,000
and then everything else for him seems to pick up.

1011
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:11,000
It should be the other way around, but in his case,

1012
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:14,000
he needs to see a few balls go down before he plays a pretty good defense.

1013
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:17,000
Little push in inside there, Landsberger and McGuinness.

1014
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:19,000
It's Landsberger who picks up the foul.

1015
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:22,000
Landsberger and McGuinness, both physical players, and that time,

1016
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:27,000
Landsberger decided he was a member of the Chicago Bears and not the Bulls.

1017
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:31,000
Landsberger's big enough, isn't he? 6'8", 225.

1018
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:33,000
He's got to weigh more than 225.

1019
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:35,000
He's got to be closer to 235.

1020
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,000
Thompson out to Scott.

1021
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:39,000
Long shot.

1022
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:40,000
And look at that.

1023
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:41,000
Three men on the boards that time.

1024
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:42,000
Well, they're now responding.

1025
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:44,000
They're making the ball come up from the perimeter.

1026
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,000
They tried to get the ball into Thompson.

1027
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:48,000
He had to give it up on the double team.

1028
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:52,000
They made the good offensive play, and Chicago cut him off with one shot.

1029
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:56,000
Eight minutes to go, third period, 65-44, Denver.

1030
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,000
They have seven seconds on the shot clock.

1031
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:03,000
Gilmore, that left hand won't go.

1032
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:07,000
Scott with Holland, shoulder to shoulder.

1033
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:08,000
Block by Gilmore.

1034
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,000
Beautiful block that time by Gilmore.

1035
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:13,000
Back they come, three on two, Holland all the way.

1036
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:17,000
Landsberger again is there, but it won't go for him.

1037
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:20,000
That was 18th rebound for Landsberger.

1038
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:23,000
They missed some follow shots.

1039
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:26,000
The other hand, George McInnis, Wilterson.

1040
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:28,000
They're going to reset it.

1041
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:29,000
McInnis, broken up.

1042
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:32,000
Mickey Johnson reached in and got it away from him.

1043
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:33,000
Here comes Theus.

1044
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:34,000
Watch this.

1045
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:36,000
They finally get a hoop.

1046
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:40,000
They went a little rat race basketball back and forth with a few turnovers and no control.

1047
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:46,000
Chicago finally gets a little hoop there, a little encouragement from Larry Costello, but they had a good, positive effort.

1048
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:48,000
Landsberger following on Drake.

1049
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:49,000
They didn't get it.

1050
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:52,000
They came back, played some good defense, and got a basket.

1051
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:56,000
For the first time, they made it with a run in this game and come away with a better score.

1052
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:58,000
There's a charging situation.

1053
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,000
Bobby Wilterson.

1054
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,000
All you need is a good little defensive effort.

1055
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:04,000
Again, Mickey Johnson getting there.

1056
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:06,000
It didn't look like he was completely covering that baseline.

1057
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:10,000
It looked like Wilterson had head and shoulders by, but they get the call.

1058
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:13,000
They need a few breaks, and again, 6.52 left in the game.

1059
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:15,000
They can still get within 10.

1060
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:20,000
65-46, Holland off to Landsberger.

1061
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:24,000
Reggie Pias, Scott on in.

1062
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:27,000
Mickey Johnson with seven seconds on the shot clock.

1063
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:29,000
He didn't get anything with that one.

1064
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:32,000
Well, that's healthy basketball by Mickey Johnson.

1065
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:38,000
Charlie Scott, Gilmore, and reaching over is David Thompson, and he committed the foul.

1066
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:41,000
Boy, it's getting pretty physical right now.

1067
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:46,000
It's pretty physical out there, but you see, Toc Choc got cut in and tried to take it over.

1068
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:48,000
Mickey Johnson does not get it.

1069
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:52,000
Gilmore's down and deep, and the smaller David Thompson tries to come over his back.

1070
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:56,000
No chance, and Charlie Scott is going to have some words about that.

1071
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:05,000
From the top man right down to the bottom man, he just passes right down the line.

1072
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,000
Everybody pushes for quality.

1073
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:09,000
Willie Rawls, utility man.

1074
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:12,000
This is who we are and what we do at General Motors.

1075
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:16,000
My job is to replace any absentees.

1076
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:19,000
I'm here and there all over the plant.

1077
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:22,000
You're not tied down to one job all the time.

1078
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:28,000
You're around different jobs, metal finishing, welding, soldering.

1079
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:35,000
But I think I enjoy soldering more than any other job I've done because there's a lot of skill in that.

1080
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:38,000
The fellas keep something going all the time.

1081
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:40,000
It's never dull around there.

1082
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:42,000
They all get along very good.

1083
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:44,000
The union's good.

1084
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:47,000
They're on the line. They have a lot of interest in the car.

1085
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:51,000
If I go out to buy a car, that's where I'd go, looking for General Motors' car.

1086
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:56,000
Because I'm right there in the plant and I see how they're built, you know, see the quality that goes into them.

1087
01:19:56,000 --> 01:20:02,000
General Motors, people building transportation to serve people.

1088
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:05,000
Do unrelated gas prices give me fits?

1089
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:08,000
No way, buddy, because I got me a diesel-equipped Chevy pickup.

1090
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:13,000
No spark plugs, no carburetor, no distributor.

1091
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:16,000
And great EPA mileage estimates, too.

1092
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:22,000
Plus, diesel fuel traditionally costs less than unleaded gasoline.

1093
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:28,000
The diesel-powered Chevy pickup, a lot of miles per gallon and a lot less cost per gallon.

1094
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:32,000
Chevy trucks, built to stay tough.

1095
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:35,000
In with the basket mark.

1096
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:40,000
Larry Costello seeing maybe the earmarks of a comeback here.

1097
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:45,000
According to his troops, he's seen much better effort the last four or five minutes of this game.

1098
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:49,000
Positive effort. The guys are beginning to play a little bit better defensively.

1099
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:53,000
Even though Mickey Johnson took a little selfish offensive try the last time down,

1100
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:57,000
they are getting better offensive opportunities, and that's what he's asking of his team.

1101
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:00,000
Just chip away plenty of time in the ball game.

1102
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:03,000
Denver's going to give us a chance to put the ball in the air.

1103
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,000
Scott May has checked into the lineup. Here comes Lansberger.

1104
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:08,000
He has 18 rebounds, 23 is his career high.

1105
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:10,000
All in hits it. All of a sudden.

1106
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:15,000
That's the way they diagrammed it. We looked in just before they started.

1107
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:19,000
So, Chicago's not dead in this one yet. 65-48.

1108
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:21,000
Again, it's off to Issel.

1109
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:26,000
Issel out to Thompson with Scott May coming out on him.

1110
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,000
Scott May picking up the foul.

1111
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:32,000
Scott getting up a little slowly, and I know everyone's concerned every time he goes down

1112
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:35,000
because of all the problems he's had with the knee.

1113
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:38,000
He bounced around a little bit, but he didn't move his feet. He had his body there,

1114
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:43,000
but his feet were still tangled up. That's the reason he's rolling around on his back on the baseline.

1115
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,000
That's three fouls now on Scott May.

1116
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:49,000
65-48. Again, it dribbles it off his foot.

1117
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:52,000
And the scramble is on, and thereafter.

1118
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:54,000
Thompson.

1119
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:58,000
Oh, what a play by David Thompson. Fast and furious activity.

1120
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:01,000
While we talk about controlling against Chicago, they did not have the ball.

1121
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:04,000
Everybody tried to break and run away from it.

1122
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:09,000
Scott May scrambling all over. Thompson comes in, shows Gilmore his body,

1123
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:11,000
and then takes the ball away from him and puts it in.

1124
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:14,000
67-48. The intensity picking up.

1125
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:18,000
Theus, the Landsberger. Tough shot. He can't get it.

1126
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:23,000
Again, it's just barrels in there, intercepted by Holland.

1127
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:28,000
Wilbur Holland all the way, and Wilbur Holland now has given him a shot in the arm offensively.

1128
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:29,000
He has 14 points.

1129
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:32,000
Well, Wilbur Holland knows where the basket is, and he's going to keep looking at it,

1130
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:35,000
which is important. They need someone to continue to score.

1131
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:38,000
They've cut into the lead a little bit, and again, they've got to play good defense,

1132
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:42,000
make the ball come up from out there, and try and get down and get some easy opportunities.

1133
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:45,000
Well, they've cut it to 17 after trailing by 21-1.5.

1134
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:48,000
Scott May cuts it by two more.

1135
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:53,000
And as I said before, the earmarks of the comeback are shaping up now for Chicago.

1136
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:56,000
It's interesting how defense can bring you back in the game, Steve.

1137
01:22:56,000 --> 01:23:00,000
Well, it's not so much defense. I think it's your offense that kind of keys the combination of the two.

1138
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:04,000
And if you get good baskets, your defense seems to pick up.

1139
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:09,000
There's Thompson, tough shot, but he got it again, and David Thompson with 21 points.

1140
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:12,000
Control, I keep saying control, and he's playing under control.

1141
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:17,000
He's doing anything offensively he wants. They're going to have to give him some help.

1142
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:20,000
Inside, four and a half minutes to go, third period.

1143
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:23,000
Fiat to Scott May, into Landsberger.

1144
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:28,000
Landsberger taking McGinnis in to Scott May, and he's hit two in a row.

1145
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:32,000
Scott May with that great shot. It's almost a picturesque shot.

1146
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:36,000
He's got a classic outside jump shot. He just is not in very good game shape again,

1147
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:39,000
not having the chance to put the ball in the air too many times.

1148
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:43,000
But again, Chicago's gotten better ball movement, and their defense has picked up because of it.

1149
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:48,000
Scott May with six points on Bobby Wilkerson. Wilkerson, difficult shot at best.

1150
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:51,000
Landsberger with yet another rebound. That's 19 for him.

1151
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:56,000
Up to Holland. Wilbur Holland pulls it up.

1152
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:59,000
Denver thought they were going to get away with this one easily.

1153
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:01,000
I think they know now they're in a basketball game.

1154
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:03,000
Chicago is playing tough.

1155
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:06,000
This is the same thing that happened the last time they played.

1156
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:10,000
Scott May all of a sudden got himself a couple of hoops, and he's got his nose on the basket.

1157
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:14,000
He comes with three baskets in a row and a chance to get a three-point play.

1158
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:18,000
And Larry Brown, as we see him again working in deep, is going to have to call a timeout

1159
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:21,000
to have some type of discussion about their defensive effort.

1160
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:26,000
Scott May now with eight points picking up the foul. Wilkerson, his second.

1161
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:30,000
We'll be back. This game's really getting tough.

1162
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:52,000
You're feeling good about yourself. You're feeling good about yourself, and it shows.

1163
01:24:52,000 --> 01:25:05,000
Yeah, you're drinking diet Pepsi. Yeah, you're drinking diet Pepsi, and it shows.

1164
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:11,000
In business, the more efficiently you use your time, the more money you make.

1165
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:13,000
Time is money.

1166
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:20,000
So if you're spending hours dictating letters to far-off places, and hours are spent typing them...

1167
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:23,000
I've got other work to do.

1168
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:28,000
...kick the letter habit, pick up your phone, and give them a ring.

1169
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:34,000
The phone turns your time into money.

1170
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:43,000
Uh-oh, that TV show we want to watch goes on in five minutes.

1171
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:47,000
America, stop rushing your life away just to catch a TV show.

1172
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:52,000
Get a Sony Betamax video recorder and automatically videotape that show

1173
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:56,000
while you're doing something else, and watch it anytime you want.

1174
01:25:56,000 --> 01:26:05,000
Sony Betamax. It could change your whole way of life.

1175
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:10,000
See U.S. Open champion Jimmy Connors, Wimbledon winner Bjorn Borg,

1176
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:16,000
Grand Prix Masters champion John McEnroe, and Australian titleist Guillermo Villas

1177
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:20,000
when CBS Sports presents exclusive coverage of the Grand Slam of tennis,

1178
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:22,000
February 10th and 11th.

1179
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:26,000
From first serve to match point, you'll say...

1180
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:31,000
You saw it on CBS Sports.

1181
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:34,000
One of the best X's and O's men in the business, Larry Costello,

1182
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:38,000
he diagrams a play for his team and tries to get them set defensively.

1183
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:42,000
They have been doing a lot of talking, been very animated in that huddle over there,

1184
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:44,000
trying to get back in this basketball game.

1185
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:48,000
They've been very positive, and the key for them is movement, good effort.

1186
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:51,000
Scott May now trying to complete a three-point play, and as you see,

1187
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:56,000
he's made it 69-57, three and a half minutes to go, third period.

1188
01:26:56,000 --> 01:27:02,000
Chicago's come back into this game, battling from a 21-point deficit at halftime.

1189
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:04,000
Robert Smith out to Anthony Roberts.

1190
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:08,000
They're moving the ball now. You can see the ball movement that they were lacking earlier.

1191
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:10,000
Here's Roberts.

1192
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:14,000
Gilmore with Boswell, and he rejects it, and it is tough in there.

1193
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:17,000
Boswell reaching over Scott May.

1194
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:19,000
Oh, boy.

1195
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:22,000
Well, I tell you, you know, Boswell does an excellent job to get that rebound,

1196
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:25,000
and then he forgot about that big skyscraper sitting in there.

1197
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:27,000
You'll see he goes up, gets the rebound.

1198
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:29,000
Gilmore gets himself right, he gets the ball again.

1199
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:33,000
Boswell's upset because he can't handle it and comes over Scott May's back.

1200
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:36,000
Chicago's working, trying to get to that 10-point deficit.

1201
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:40,000
First foul on Boswell. We approach the three-minute mark now, this third period.

1202
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:42,000
69-57, Wilbur Holland.

1203
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:45,000
At time, Boswell reached in and broke it up.

1204
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:47,000
Here comes Smith.

1205
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:52,000
Smith broken up by Theus. Theus with the long arms, and we've got him right on top of us now.

1206
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:55,000
It's going to be Chicago's basketball.

1207
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:57,000
I didn't know you were that quick, big guy.

1208
01:27:57,000 --> 01:27:59,000
They started to come over, so you bailed out.

1209
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:02,000
I tell you what, that's perseverance.

1210
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:08,000
And here is a quick basket and a chance for a three-point play as Landsberger got down behind him

1211
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:10,000
while they were arguing on the play.

1212
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:13,000
Cruz controlled the Denver Nuggets, and Larry Brown looks on, saying,

1213
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:17,000
fellas, we've got to wake up and play basketball out here. They're starting to come back.

1214
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:20,000
He's a predator call on the officials, but the team has gone to sleep.

1215
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:24,000
They've allowed Chicago to get within 10 with 2.52 left.

1216
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:26,000
We got us a ball game, Gary.

1217
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:30,000
Yes, we do, and Landsberger, who has just played remarkable basketball,

1218
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:34,000
has 15 points and 19 rebounds, and he's got another one.

1219
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:38,000
Landsberger off to Theus, and I thought that was a pretty wise play.

1220
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:40,000
He just brought it out. Let's go for one now.

1221
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:42,000
Let's get inside 10 points with this team.

1222
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:45,000
Under control, and if they continue to go like this,

1223
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:48,000
they're going to start to come back down inside to Gilmore,

1224
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:51,000
because they're getting the ball up from the perimeter and they're getting it down.

1225
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:53,000
Anthony Roberts comes away with a rebound.

1226
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:56,000
Ten-point difference in this game at the 2.31 mark.

1227
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,000
Third period.

1228
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:00,000
Brings it out to Smith.

1229
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:02,000
Tom Oswell.

1230
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:05,000
Oswell going to shoot outside.

1231
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:09,000
Tipped in beautifully by Anthony Roberts.

1232
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:11,000
Roberts with his first points of the game.

1233
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:13,000
Well, that's what he does so well for them.

1234
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:16,000
He's a good offensive rebounder as well as a perimeter shooter.

1235
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:19,000
They need that kind of effort. They went dead in the water.

1236
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:21,000
Chicago has been coming back and chipping away.

1237
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:23,000
And there's a way of chipping away at it.

1238
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:26,000
Artis Gilmore, Gilmore now with 15 points.

1239
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:28,000
He had ten of those though in the first half.

1240
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:32,000
They have gone away from him, but everyone else has gotten involved offensively.

1241
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:34,000
That's what they need to open it up for him again.

1242
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:36,000
It's down to ten points again.

1243
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:39,000
Anthony Roberts giving them a shot in the arm offensively.

1244
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:42,000
Back at you. That's what they call that in your face.

1245
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:45,000
And he scores another hoop, again giving them some kind of lift.

1246
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:48,000
Denver's beginning to pick up their defensive effort.

1247
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:51,000
A lot of pushing and chipping in there as both of them jockeying for position.

1248
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:54,000
Those two being May and Roberts. They're really going after each other.

1249
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:57,000
Roberts on Scott May. May turns around.

1250
01:29:57,000 --> 01:30:00,000
Landsberger's there. It's 20 rebounds for him.

1251
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:03,000
Gilmore's got it. They're just forcing the ball.

1252
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:06,000
The basket I believe will count.

1253
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:09,000
And a chance for a three-point play coming up.

1254
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:11,000
That is just sheer strength inside.

1255
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:15,000
Well, when you've got strong guys like that, you see Landsberger very active.

1256
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:16,000
No one boxes him.

1257
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:19,000
Gilmore gets it. Arms all over him. He just rolls it up.

1258
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:22,000
Again, Ola Chamberlain taking bodies off the ground with him.

1259
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:24,000
He gets two. They're down by ten.

1260
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:26,000
One-twenty-two left.

1261
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:28,000
And Thompson is back in the game.

1262
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:31,000
But more important, Larry Costello is right in front of us.

1263
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:35,000
Tell him, fellas, we're doing all we can do. Let's just keep it going.

1264
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:37,000
At the line now goes Gilmore.

1265
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:41,000
Landsberger has 21 rebounds, two away from his career high.

1266
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:45,000
That's the official count on Mark Landsberger in the rebounding department.

1267
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:50,000
And there's your score, the closest they've been in a long time, by nine.

1268
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:54,000
Heavity three-64. Smith out to Issel. Issel bringing Gilmore out.

1269
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:57,000
What could Gilmore get back in for that rebound?

1270
01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:01,000
Well, that rebound right there was Artis Gilmore's 10,000th of his career.

1271
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:03,000
That's right. He needed six coming in here today.

1272
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:07,000
He's got over 14,000 points in his career and now 10,000 rebounds.

1273
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:10,000
What a productive career he's had.

1274
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:11,000
Mengelt, throw it away.

1275
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:13,000
Intended for John Brown.

1276
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:16,000
John Brown and Mengelt checking into the lineup right now.

1277
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:19,000
And we're going to have a timeout by Denver.

1278
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:24,000
Denver asked for a timeout with 54 seconds left in this third period.

1279
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:33,000
As the Chicago Bulls, after trailing by 21 at halftime, have climbed within nine points in this game, 73-64.

1280
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:36,000
They've done it with just pick-up intensity.

1281
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:39,000
They've got quite a performance from Landsberger, Gilmore.

1282
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:44,000
And I thought maybe one of their real outstanding performances was a guy by the name of Theus,

1283
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:47,000
who came in and seemed to have control and had some ball movement.

1284
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:52,000
They've all played much better since they got blessed out in that timeout.

1285
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:58,000
Now we're going to take a look at Larry Brown's huddle and see if he can get his team offensively guarded, defensively riding.

1286
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:01,000
Vaz and David. Dan's coming up.

1287
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:05,000
Vaz, you pop. Don't pop until Dan receives the old post play.

1288
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:08,000
All right? Hey, don't pop until he receives it.

1289
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:14,000
Look, the second time down, we're just hitting Dan and he's going straight on the drive on Gilmore.

1290
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:15,000
All right? We're running them both times.

1291
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:17,000
That's it, David, with you low.

1292
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:20,000
Woozy, that means you've got to be aware of court balance, all right?

1293
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:22,000
We can't foul and can't give up second shots.

1294
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:25,000
And be aware of the clock, Robert, all right?

1295
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:27,000
We want to get it inside.

1296
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:30,000
Vaz, don't pop until Dan receives it.

1297
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:32,000
All right? Hey.

1298
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:36,000
All right, Steve, now what does he mean by not popping?

1299
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:37,000
Coming out to meet the ball, right?

1300
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:41,000
Don't come out. Don't break the play until we get everyone set in position.

1301
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:44,000
They want to get it down. And if they're going to try to go to Gilmore, they're going to try and pull him out.

1302
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:47,000
You see Larry Costello. He's working down at the other end.

1303
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:50,000
Again, diagramming both coaches, excellent coaches.

1304
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:55,000
And the thing that Larry Costello is trying to do is keep a positive effort for a team that's trying to come over the hill.

1305
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:57,000
Larry, Larry Brown is trying to keep them down.

1306
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:59,000
He's trying to emphasize the good things.

1307
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:03,000
Both coaches trying to keep their teams on a positive note.

1308
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:06,000
Well, we have a good one here, but a week from today, we're going to have a good one, too.

1309
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:10,000
The NBA All-Star Game from the Silver Dome and Pontiac.

1310
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:15,000
We sure enjoy this. 1-45 Eastern Time. A nine-point game.

1311
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:20,000
Chicago setting up defensively with Mendel and Fias at the guard's bite.

1312
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:23,000
Boswell brings it out to Robert Smith.

1313
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:26,000
Now they've got 40 seconds left now for the end of this third period.

1314
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:30,000
Thompson, he shot it with a man in his face and he got it.

1315
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:34,000
What a shot by Thompson. 23 points he's fouled by Fias.

1316
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:37,000
Well, that's just a great offensive play by Thompson.

1317
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:43,000
You'll see Fias right there in his face. The problem for Fias is he brought that hand down and got called for the play.

1318
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:48,000
Thompson has a chance for a three-point play. Doesn't get it in Gilmore rebound.

1319
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:54,000
I tell you, Thompson in this third period has made three very pressure-packed free throws, or I should say field goals.

1320
01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:55,000
People hanging all over him.

1321
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:57,000
All his field goals have been tough tries.

1322
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:05,000
Chicago the last two times down, just when they seem to have got it going, have turned the ball over without a shot at the hoop, and that hurt.

1323
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:10,000
Now Kim Hughes is coming in for Dan Issel with 25 seconds left in this period.

1324
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:16,000
Hughes will check in with a total of four fouls.

1325
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:21,000
Smith, Thompson with Anthony Roberts, Kim Hughes, and Tom Boswell.

1326
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:23,000
They're going to go for the last shot now this period.

1327
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:29,000
Seventy-five, sixty-four. Watching the clock very closely.

1328
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:33,000
The thing that you want to do defensively is not let the team run their play, so you try to be disruptive.

1329
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:37,000
Run at the guy, make them do something they don't want to do, put the ball up quicker.

1330
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:38,000
With three seconds.

1331
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:44,000
Good, John Brown's got it, so they do not get the two points on the last play of this third period.

1332
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:50,000
What a third period we had. Twelve minutes of very intense basketball.

1333
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:55,000
The Denver Nuggets are at a 21-point lead at halftime, now having a battle for the lives.

1334
01:34:55,000 --> 01:35:03,000
They lead it 75-64.

1335
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:08,000
Here's to good friends, tonight is kind of special.

1336
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:09,000
Hello, Cosley.

1337
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:10,000
Hiya, Dad.

1338
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:12,000
I heard a rumor you finally passed the bar exam.

1339
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:13,000
Yeah.

1340
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:14,000
Congratulations. Frank said...

1341
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:17,000
Frank will have the prime ribs and a couple of low and brown.

1342
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:20,000
Prime ribs? Low and brown? What are you doing?

1343
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:22,000
Buying dinner for the guy who put me through Boston.

1344
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:28,000
When you want the taste of a truly great American beer, tonight, let it be low and brown.

1345
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:29,000
Mr. Good Friends.

1346
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:31,000
Low and brown.

1347
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:32,000
Good Friends.

1348
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:37,000
The NBA on CBS will continue after this word from your local station.

1349
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:41,000
From the author of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid comes Mr. Horn.

1350
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:43,000
His story is more than just another Western.

1351
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:47,000
David Carradine and Richard Widmark star in Mr. Horn.

1352
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:52,000
This is CBS.

1353
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:18,000
Good friends.

1354
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:57,000
Artis Gilmore today going over 10,000 rebounds in his career.

1355
01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:05,000
Joining a select group of people, Chamberlain's Bellamese, Silas' Russells move over and make room for Big A.

1356
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:10,000
We start the fourth period. Be sure now and stay tuned for the MVP award at the conclusion of this game.

1357
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:14,000
We may have a tough time picking them. We have some people out there, the candidates.

1358
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:17,000
Mengyel rebound. Brown can't handle it.

1359
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:22,000
John Brown, good second ever to Gilmore and Kim Hughes has just picked up his fifth foul.

1360
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:27,000
Kim Hughes has had a tough time all day long and the problem that time is they played pretty good defense.

1361
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:30,000
Again, Chicago getting a good offensive effort on the board.

1362
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:32,000
Mark Lansberger comes back in.

1363
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:34,000
You'll see Brown go down and deep.

1364
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:36,000
Kim Hughes all over the back.

1365
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:39,000
No complaint. Lansberger back in the game.

1366
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:45,000
They have a problem. They've got Scott May coming out because Denver has two big strong guys in them.

1367
01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:48,000
Boswell and McGinnis, they want a matchup.

1368
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:52,000
What a game Lansberger's having. He has 15 points and 21 rebounds.

1369
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:54,000
Gilmore looking back door.

1370
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:57,000
Have a troubling walk to the ball.

1371
01:37:57,000 --> 01:38:02,000
Now Chicago, what is that? Three times straight I think down the floor. They haven't, they've turned it over.

1372
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:06,000
They got within nine and now they've had three turnovers and that's hurt them.

1373
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:10,000
They've had a good defensive effort, good offense to the outs for the Nuggets in the third period,

1374
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:13,000
but they've got to come back to that effort that they finished with.

1375
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:17,000
Boswell backing in on Lansberger. Robert Smith seeing a lot of action.

1376
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:20,000
Driving on Mingeld and who got the foul?

1377
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:23,000
It's Mingeld. He did not have position.

1378
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:27,000
And now Charlie Scott will be checking in.

1379
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:29,000
Robert Smith makes an excellent move right here.

1380
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:33,000
Mingeld never having his feet set and not had his body over there.

1381
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:37,000
Robert Smith should have tried to get that ball in there, maybe would have gotten a chance to shoot some free throws.

1382
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:43,000
And Smith comes out of the lineup for Scott. Thompson inside, 25 points.

1383
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:46,000
Any way you want it, he can get it done.

1384
01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:50,000
And he has hit some shots in the second half. 77-64.

1385
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:54,000
Chicago is in nine and all of a sudden now Denver started to creep away again.

1386
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:57,000
Gilmore is going to bring it back by two though.

1387
01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:01,000
He got a lot of help that time. He wanted to put it over the top and stuff it.

1388
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:04,000
McGinnis came over, had a lot of hands in the way so he had to take it off the glass.

1389
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:06,000
A tough drive but they got it.

1390
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:10,000
Gilmore with 20 points for the afternoon.

1391
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:12,000
Scott to David Thompson.

1392
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:14,000
Diaz staying on him.

1393
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:16,000
Diaz could probably match up with as well as anybody on David.

1394
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:19,000
But David hits it again and he's laying them on.

1395
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:24,000
The problem again is now Thompson is going inside and out and Diaz really doesn't know what he's going to do.

1396
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:28,000
Thompson is too great an offensive player so you've got to give him some help.

1397
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:33,000
You've got to make him work harder and you've got to really concede him 25 a game if you want to start the ball game.

1398
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:36,000
John Brown lost with the ball.

1399
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:40,000
And he doesn't like that development. That's a 16th turnover against Chicago.

1400
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:42,000
Look at that one. It got a little tighter didn't it?

1401
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:45,000
Well, Golden State is coming off the floor and they're also back in the basketball game.

1402
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:50,000
24 seconds to shoot. Anything can happen in this NBA so you've got to stay with it.

1403
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:53,000
79-66. This will often McGinnis.

1404
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:55,000
McGinnis on Landsberg.

1405
01:39:55,000 --> 01:39:58,000
Another foul coming up. Who's it on?

1406
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:02,000
McGinnis really upset.

1407
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:05,000
It's going to be Landsberger committing the foul.

1408
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:07,000
Or McGinnis really upset about something.

1409
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:11,000
Well, I think McGinnis wants a hoop but he's coming right here and now he's got the ball up.

1410
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:17,000
He's saying he's in the way and Gilmore comes up and knocks the ball down.

1411
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:22,000
Landsberger committing the foul. That is his third.

1412
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:26,000
McGinnis still arguing and Charlie Scott yelling some encouragement.

1413
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:30,000
Charlie Dudley. I think he wanted goaltending on the play but what do you think?

1414
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:36,000
Well, it wasn't goaltending right there. Gilmore catches the ball. It wasn't on a downward flight.

1415
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:39,000
But George has been known to lobby for every point that he can get.

1416
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:44,000
Here's a guy that's on the line that's averaging 11 free throw attempts this year.

1417
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:49,000
More than anybody else in the NBA, he's just not been able to get a good percentage of the men.

1418
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:53,000
He's made like 376 of them, been there about 580 times.

1419
01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:59,000
He's hit 67%. He leads an attempt and made free throws in the NBA.

1420
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:04,000
That's because he's so quick and big and gets inside and you get in trouble when he does that.

1421
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:06,000
He also has the green light.

1422
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:11,000
Here's Dudley. Mingelt. 81-66.

1423
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:13,000
Gettler in this fourth period has put it together again.

1424
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:19,000
Gilmore at the Mingelt with six seconds on the shot but Gilmore trying to follow and McInnis has it.

1425
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:21,000
McInnis that guy just fought him off.

1426
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:29,000
Well, they brought Charlie Dudley in to see if he could do something defensively with David Thompson.

1427
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:33,000
Excuse me, Gary, but they seem to have missed something with Wilber Holland out of the lineup.

1428
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:39,000
Here's Brown driving and he's intimidated and it is really tough inside.

1429
01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:43,000
Here comes Boswell up to Thompson. McInnis.

1430
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:47,000
Gilmore and Gilmore's fouling.

1431
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:49,000
You talk about a meeting up above the basket.

1432
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:51,000
Well, they set a little prayer up there.

1433
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:56,000
You see Thompson draws and Gilmore turns his back making McInnis think he's got the easy stuff.

1434
01:41:56,000 --> 01:42:00,000
That looks like a pretty good play if Gilmore doesn't get that arm there and the bodies collide.

1435
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:02,000
That's a good fly.

1436
01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:05,000
Free fouls on Artis Gilmore and McInnis to the line.

1437
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,000
Now you see his shooting percentage from the strike, not what he'd like to have.

1438
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:12,000
He's not shot well but he's always been there and that's important.

1439
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:17,000
I think if you get there enough times eventually your concentration and your efforts picks up.

1440
01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:22,000
The Denver Nuggets doing a fine job defensively making the Chicago Bulls turn the ball over,

1441
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:25,000
come back and they have extended their lead.

1442
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:28,000
Chicago must now settle down and get some hoops.

1443
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:32,000
They should try really to get back running, getting some quick opportunities and scoring a little bit easier.

1444
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:37,000
I bet your point was well made that when they took the guard outside,

1445
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:39,000
hollering out of the lineup they may have lost a little something.

1446
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:44,000
You know, Hollen is a guy that can give them that firepower, give them that quickness to get down court and they haven't had that.

1447
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:46,000
There's Brown hitting from the corner.

1448
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:53,000
83-68, that's only the fourth point in this third or I should say fourth period for Chicago.

1449
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:56,000
They had 64 points after three periods.

1450
01:42:56,000 --> 01:43:00,000
And up and down quarters as far as team shooting, Denver had the better from the first half

1451
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:04,000
and then only were six for 20 at one point during the third.

1452
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:07,000
Scott dribbled that one off his foot.

1453
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:13,000
Chicago will have it and that is the 13th turnover against Denver.

1454
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:17,000
And Gelt Dudley Gilmore, Brown and Landsberger.

1455
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:19,000
That's the five in there now for Laurie Costello's team.

1456
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:24,000
McGinnis on to steal a 10, Brown double dribble.

1457
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:26,000
He was in too big a hurry.

1458
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:30,000
John Brown is pained, he knew he had a free chance to put the ball up.

1459
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:33,000
McGinnis had gambled and was half court and he just couldn't control it.

1460
01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:37,000
And again another turnover and that's plaguing Chicago as they try to make their comeback bid.

1461
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:40,000
You know, McGinnis is tense with the NBA and steals.

1462
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:41,000
They almost had one there.

1463
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:45,000
Here's Landsberger, that's 22 rebounds for him unless we lost count somewhere.

1464
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:48,000
He's had so many of them we have to keep checking the stats.

1465
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:50,000
He's done an excellent job of going to the board.

1466
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:51,000
He's really kept them in the game.

1467
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:53,000
Mingale gets the ball up from the outside.

1468
01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:57,000
They've got to have good defensive pressure, not turn the ball over.

1469
01:43:57,000 --> 01:43:59,000
They're going to make it all the way back.

1470
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:07,000
13 point game after cutting it to nine and now Denver still not out of this one with eight minutes to go.

1471
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:11,000
Scott into Boswell, route on him.

1472
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:13,000
Boswell and we've got charging on Boswell.

1473
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:14,000
He had no place to go.

1474
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:15,000
He had no place to go.

1475
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:17,000
He can't believe it.

1476
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:19,000
He's got that pained look on your face.

1477
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:26,000
You see right here John Brown making up for the mistake at the other end does an excellent job with a little hand in there to get an advantage.

1478
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:28,000
And then he gets his body in front of it.

1479
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:30,000
That against Boswell, his second personal.

1480
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:33,000
Mingale off the Landsberger.

1481
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:36,000
John Brown, they're pushing him outside a little bit on defense now.

1482
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:41,000
They pushed him much higher out, but they get the ball down and deep and again they close.

1483
01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:43,000
Again, this happened in the last time they played.

1484
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:44,000
They begin to come back.

1485
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:46,000
The Nuggets working pretty hard.

1486
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:48,000
Defensively have them outside.

1487
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:51,000
Mingale makes an excellent penetrating move.

1488
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:53,000
You see Landsberger rolls inside.

1489
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:56,000
Nothing but honey.

1490
01:44:56,000 --> 01:45:02,000
Get away.

1491
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:22,000
Part of Call Caribbean.

1492
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:23,000
The Navy.

1493
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:26,000
See your local recruiter or call toll free.

1494
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:28,000
It's not just a job.

1495
01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:33,000
It's a job for the whole team.

1496
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:36,000
You're out.

1497
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:38,000
Sorry, kid.

1498
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:40,000
Gotta take you out of cleanup.

1499
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:47,000
Over six million shavers have said goodbye to their old razors and said hello to Atra, Gillette's best shave.

1500
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:54,000
The revolutionary Atra pivoting head gives a face hugging action that outshaves every razor we've ever made.

1501
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:55,000
Close.

1502
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:56,000
Very close.

1503
01:45:56,000 --> 01:46:01,000
Atra, you're in a league by yourself.

1504
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:03,000
Zenith presents a breakthrough.

1505
01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:04,000
A breakthrough.

1506
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:05,000
System 3.

1507
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:06,000
System 3.

1508
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:08,000
The best Zenith ever.

1509
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:09,000
The best ever.

1510
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:13,000
An advanced picture tube for the sharpest Zenith picture ever.

1511
01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:14,000
Sharpest picture.

1512
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:16,000
A totally modular chassis.

1513
01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:17,000
All modular.

1514
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:19,000
Designed to be the best performing.

1515
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:22,000
The most reliable color TV in Zenith history.

1516
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:23,000
The most reliable.

1517
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:25,000
Zenith System 3.

1518
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:26,000
Zenith System 3.

1519
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:32,000
It's the best Zenith ever.

1520
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:41,000
A month ago today, it was a Chicago victory here at McNickles Arena against Denver, but boys did they've had to spend a lot of effort to play catch up all afternoon long.

1521
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:45,000
Also a month ago today, Denver had the same type of league and they ended up losing it.

1522
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:51,000
So Larry Brown is cognizant of that and he's telling his team to keep good offensive pressure on the bull.

1523
01:46:51,000 --> 01:46:53,000
David Thompson with Dudley on him.

1524
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:55,000
And this time he can't get it.

1525
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:58,000
Brown lost it.

1526
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:00,000
Another crack at it for Denver.

1527
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:04,000
Andy Williams open immediately following the conclusion of this game.

1528
01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:05,000
Stay with us for that.

1529
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:06,000
Coaches try when they see that.

1530
01:47:06,000 --> 01:47:09,000
You get the ball up from the outside, you have the board covered.

1531
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:12,000
McGinnis just barrels over.

1532
01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:13,000
John Brown.

1533
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:16,000
Lansberger comes away with it off to Dudley.

1534
01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:17,000
Scott is back.

1535
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:19,000
Mengel.

1536
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:21,000
What a shot that was.

1537
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:24,000
We had two people all over him and who touched it last?

1538
01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:26,000
I think Denver did.

1539
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:27,000
Let's see.

1540
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:29,000
Well, they should have gotten a foul out of that.

1541
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:33,000
He came up and showed the ball and brought it back and he pushed it up in the air.

1542
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:34,000
It went all the way over the top.

1543
01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:36,000
They say David Thompson nixed it.

1544
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:37,000
You see Mengel working in there.

1545
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:38,000
A little showing tail.

1546
01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:41,000
Puts it up way high off the glass.

1547
01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:42,000
Goes all the way over the back.

1548
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:46,000
Dudley's ready to catch it.

1549
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:47,000
Wilbur Holland checks back in.

1550
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:52,000
Dudley will check out for the Bulls at the 7'13 mark.

1551
01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:55,000
Lansberger, the Mengel, shooting against Scott.

1552
01:47:55,000 --> 01:48:00,000
Rebound McGinnis.

1553
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:02,000
McGinnis who can handle the ball.

1554
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:06,000
Off to Bobby Wilkerson.

1555
01:48:06,000 --> 01:48:08,000
McGinnis picked up by Lansberger.

1556
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:09,000
Smith with Wilbur Holland on him.

1557
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:12,000
Inside seven minutes to go in the game.

1558
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:15,000
I don't believe McGinnis thought that was going to go in.

1559
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:17,000
Well, you've got to get a look in this game.

1560
01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:20,000
Now when he put it high up in the air and it came off the glass, they get the basket.

1561
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:22,000
They got a 13-point lead.

1562
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:25,000
18 points for McGinnis.

1563
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:26,000
Mengel.

1564
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:30,000
Well, as McGinnis has been very consistent this year, he's been over 30 points seven times.

1565
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:32,000
Mengel, another outside shot.

1566
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:33,000
He nails it.

1567
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:36,000
Scott May getting ready to come in for Chicago.

1568
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:40,000
It's 85-74.

1569
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:42,000
Wilkerson out to Scott.

1570
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:43,000
Kemper with good ball movement.

1571
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:47,000
Mengel comes away with it, but I believe he picked up the foul.

1572
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:49,000
He thought he had a clean steal.

1573
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:50,000
It looked like a clean steal.

1574
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:53,000
McGinnis just apparently had lost control.

1575
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:54,000
He had made a quick move inside.

1576
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:58,000
There were two people in there on him, and Chicago came up with the ball.

1577
01:48:58,000 --> 01:49:00,000
Larry Costello right in front of him.

1578
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:01,000
Lee, I don't believe that.

1579
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:04,000
Come on, you're kidding.

1580
01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:10,000
With 6-21, Mengel has picked up his second personal foul.

1581
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:14,000
Four team fouls now against Chicago, only one against Denver.

1582
01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:17,000
Looks like McGinnis is a little shaken up on that play.

1583
01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:23,000
Taking a bit of a breather.

1584
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:25,000
That Mengel is a tough guy.

1585
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:27,000
He was a football player at Auburn.

1586
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:29,000
He won't back off from anybody.

1587
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:38,000
He plays a little bit of football out there, but you need a guy that will go on the floor and come up with a loose ball for you and give you a good, honest effort out there to make a successful basketball team.

1588
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:43,000
McGinnis putting on a couple of moves, dishes it off to Smith, and he misses an easy one.

1589
01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:44,000
Here comes Wilbur Holland.

1590
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:51,000
They've got a chance now to climb the closest they've been in a long time, 85-74 our score.

1591
01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:54,000
They got within 9 earlier, and they're trying again to do that very thing.

1592
01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:58,000
Gilmore, and it's a big turnover.

1593
01:49:58,000 --> 01:50:01,000
Smith.

1594
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:03,000
He had enough spin on that ball that it got him.

1595
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:04,000
Just enough.

1596
01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:10,000
He was low on the ground, and he just got it up as Mingelt was chasing to hit the lip and fell in for them.

1597
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:14,000
Chicago really a little frustrated as they try to run their off-pin.

1598
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:17,000
18 turnovers, and that was a big turnover.

1599
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:21,000
Gilmore to Scott May, and Mingelt, Smith hits the deck.

1600
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:24,000
Smith picks up the foul.

1601
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:28,000
Talking about a little football.

1602
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:34,000
Robert Smith, he's not a very big guy, he's 5'11", they say he weighs 165. Mingelt, he's solid.

1603
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:38,000
He comes in here at 6'2", and they list him at 195.

1604
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:44,000
If Robert Smith continues to run into picks like that, he'll be 5'5", before his career is over.

1605
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:46,000
Landsberger with McGinnis on him.

1606
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:49,000
Scott May, well, it's a tough shot.

1607
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:50,000
Landsberger trying to follow.

1608
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:52,000
There he is again with another rebound.

1609
01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:56,000
I believe that ties his personal high of 23.

1610
01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:58,000
That's just a great rebounding effort.

1611
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:02,000
He's got a lot of offensive boards to keep the ball alive, and Holland gets it down for them.

1612
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:04,000
Holland has been tough.

1613
01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:05,000
He has 16 points.

1614
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:11,000
He's been shooting and shooting well from outside.

1615
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:18,000
That was his 23rd rebound for Landsberger, tying his career high.

1616
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:21,000
And now, he's got another foul.

1617
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:25,000
George McGinnis, and that's his third.

1618
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:29,000
He's got a chance to get within 9.

1619
01:51:29,000 --> 01:51:34,000
They've got a chance to get within 9 with 4.56 left, almost five minutes left in the game.

1620
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:35,000
Plenty of time.

1621
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:37,000
What they must have is good offensive execution.

1622
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:38,000
They've been hitting the board good.

1623
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:41,000
They just got to cut down on the turnover.

1624
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:42,000
Scott May into Gilmore.

1625
01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:44,000
4.46 left in the game.

1626
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:50,000
Gilmore looking around, backing in on Issel, and he forced it, but he couldn't get it.

1627
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:56,000
It just can't get inside that 10-point mark here, and there's McGinnis.

1628
01:51:56,000 --> 01:52:03,000
He is tied up, but a foul will go on Wilbur Holland.

1629
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:06,000
Larry Costello not too happy about that development.

1630
01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:07,000
McGinnis goes to the line.

1631
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:09,000
It looked like they had McGinnis tied up right there.

1632
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:10,000
You see him, man.

1633
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:13,000
He said, this will make coaches older in a hurry.

1634
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:15,000
He was out in the league two years.

1635
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:19,000
He's back in, and I'm sure brings back a few memories of those years he had with Milwaukee.

1636
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:23,000
He may want that vacation back if they keep going like this.

1637
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:25,000
George kind of bouncing those free throws around.

1638
01:52:25,000 --> 01:52:26,000
There's Landsberger.

1639
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:28,000
He has 24 rebounds.

1640
01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:30,000
That's a personal high for him.

1641
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:33,000
Career high.

1642
01:52:33,000 --> 01:52:39,000
Penalty in, and so it's three to make two, and McGinnis is going to need all of them.

1643
01:52:39,000 --> 01:52:41,000
And he gets the third one.

1644
01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:43,000
McGinnis now with 19 points.

1645
01:52:43,000 --> 01:52:47,000
88-76, oral pressure by Smith on Holland.

1646
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:49,000
Holland's a tough guy to pressure.

1647
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:51,000
He's got good quickness, and that makes it difficult.

1648
01:52:51,000 --> 01:52:55,000
He handles the ball well, and more importantly, he's dangerous because he's always looking to score.

1649
01:52:55,000 --> 01:52:58,000
Fias with the left hand can't get it.

1650
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:01,000
Holland tries to break it up, and Issel saves the ball.

1651
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:06,000
They're approaching four minutes in this game.

1652
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:08,000
McGinnis out to Issel.

1653
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:12,000
Roken up by Fias, but Thompson comes back with it.

1654
01:53:12,000 --> 01:53:17,000
Fias trying to get back on Thompson.

1655
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:20,000
McGinnis, it's a long ways out.

1656
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:22,000
Smith comes away with it, of all people.

1657
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:26,000
He fakes Gilmore up, and Gilmore's committed the foul on Issel.

1658
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:30,000
That's four on Gilmore.

1659
01:53:30,000 --> 01:53:33,000
That's about the only thing you can do in a situation like that, is hope he goes up with a fake.

1660
01:53:33,000 --> 01:53:38,000
Well, anytime you've got that kind of offensive pressure on you, where the little guy comes in, he almost has it clean,

1661
01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:41,000
and he's got a man on the other side, Gilmore, trying to anticipate.

1662
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:46,000
Got a piece of the ball, but also got a piece of Dan Issel's head, and Issel's going to get some free throws because of it.

1663
01:53:46,000 --> 01:53:51,000
Chicago's really struggling at the defensive end, and that's hurting them.

1664
01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:56,000
Larry Costello, he's trying to pull one out of here somehow, and it has been an uphill battle.

1665
01:53:56,000 --> 01:54:02,000
Trying to dream of some miracle to get them to run that play that will get them going offensively.

1666
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:05,000
Again, they're going to take another time out. They're going to have another discussion.

1667
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:11,000
They're going to see if they can make it right with 3.51 left in the fourth period.

1668
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:18,000
MUSIC

1669
01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:25,000
Most shampoo makers act like everyone with dandruff has the same type of hair, but not Seltzer & Bleu.

1670
01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:31,000
Seltzer & Bleu is the only leading dandruff shampoo with formulas for dry, normal, and oily hair,

1671
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:35,000
and the only one with the anti-dandruff ingredient doctors prescribe most.

1672
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:47,000
So no matter what kind of hair you have, get the really effective dandruff control you need from Seltzer & Bleu, the dandruff fighter, now in dry, normal, and oily formulas.

Can I help you?

1675

Baboon Burger.

1676
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:56,000
Nice car. What is it?

1677
01:54:56,000 --> 01:54:58,000
Chevy Chevette's best-selling hatchback in America.

1678

What do you have on it?

1679
01:54:59,000 --> 01:55:03,000
AM radio, console, reclining bucket seats, white striped tires.

1680
01:55:03,000 --> 01:55:06,000
It's all standard on the four-door Chevy Chevette, even the hatchback.

1681
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:08,000
Love it, but I don't need the hatchback.

1682
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:09,000
How come?

1683
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:10,000
I've already got a trunk.

1684
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:12,000
LAUGHS

1685
01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:15,000
Chevy Chevette. A lot of car for the money.

1688
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:23,000
Hey, where's Bob?

1689
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:24,000
I thought he was with you.

1690
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:25,000
You're kidding.

1691
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:26,000
He's not down yet?

1692
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:28,000
What, do you think something happened?

1693
01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:29,000
Let's start looking.

1694
01:55:29,000 --> 01:55:32,000
Hey! I'm on a low and brow!

1695
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:33,000
Bob!

1696
01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:40,000
When you want the taste of a truly great American beer, tonight, let it be low and brow.

1697
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:43,000
Hey, you know, for a minute there, you really have us worried.

1698
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:45,000
I know. Thanks.

1699
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:49,000
MUSIC

1700
01:55:49,000 --> 01:55:54,000
Well, the Chicago Bulls have twice climbed within. 11 points, 9 points, the closest they've been.

1701
01:55:54,000 --> 01:55:57,000
That's been the magic mark here in the second half of play.

1702
01:55:57,000 --> 01:56:02,000
Denver's been able to meet every challenge when they've gotten within 9, and they've played good defense, good offense.

1703
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:04,000
They've gotten the ball when they needed it.

1704
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:09,000
As a consequence, they have the lead and the pressure, obviously, on Chicago to make another turnover.

1705
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:11,000
But Denver returns a favor.

1706
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:13,000
Guess who got that pass? Larry Costello.

1707
01:56:13,000 --> 01:56:15,000
He wanted the ball anyway to get it.

1708
01:56:15,000 --> 01:56:16,000
LAUGHS

1709
01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:18,000
That's 14 turnovers against Denver.

1710
01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:21,000
Well, they'll try it again. Three and a half minutes left.

1711
01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:26,000
Andy Williams, San Diego, with the follow immediately after this game.

1712
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:29,000
Here's Landsberger with McEnnis on him. Scott May into Gilmore.

1713
01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:32,000
Gilmore, turn around. That's a tough shot for him.

1714
01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:35,000
Landsberger there again. 25 rebounds.

1715
01:56:35,000 --> 01:56:37,000
He's gonna try it again, and he got it.

1716
01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:41,000
I'm gonna tell you something right now. I'm gonna give him my vote for the MVP.

1717
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:43,000
Well, you've just gone out on a limb, right?

1718
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:44,000
LAUGHS

1719
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:47,000
He's got a contest with David Thompson, who's also answered big hoops for them.

1720
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:49,000
But Landsberger has been after it all day long.

1721
01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:52,000
He works on his rebounding, so I guess he can give his points totaled up.

1722
01:56:52,000 --> 01:56:55,000
He has 19 points, 26 rebounds.

1723
01:56:55,000 --> 01:56:57,000
First kick there, piece of work.

1724
01:56:57,000 --> 01:56:59,000
Here's Thompson shooting against Fias.

1725
01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:01,000
Tipped out, here comes Fias.

1726
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:03,000
Fias, look at him move.

1727
01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:07,000
Block by Thompson. Oh, what a play by David Thompson.

1728
01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:10,000
Maybe I'm premature in that post.

1729
01:57:10,000 --> 01:57:11,000
Bobby Wilkerson.

1730
01:57:11,000 --> 01:57:14,000
CHEERING

1731
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:18,000
Bobby Wilkerson, who had 11 points in the first half, has 15 for the game.

1732
01:57:18,000 --> 01:57:20,000
Well, that people, they like him here a lot.

1733
01:57:20,000 --> 01:57:22,000
David Thompson coming back with another great block.

1734
01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:25,000
He did the same thing against Lou Hudson coming over the top.

1735
01:57:25,000 --> 01:57:29,000
On Friday night, he does it against Fias, who had gone by Robert Smith

1736
01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:31,000
and thought he was in clean.

1737
01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:35,000
All right, Tom Boswell, Cole Ellis, number 31, will come in.

1738
01:57:35,000 --> 01:57:37,000
CHEERING

1739
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:38,000
Look at that block.

1740
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:40,000
You see Thompson coming right there, right over the back of Fias,

1741
01:57:40,000 --> 01:57:43,000
way up in the air. Doesn't look like those legs are dead yet.

1742
01:57:43,000 --> 01:57:50,000
We have a timeout now by Chicago with 2.20 left in this game.

1743
01:57:50,000 --> 01:57:56,000
Larry Costello hoping somehow to pull this one out,

1744
01:57:56,000 --> 01:57:59,000
but they obviously have their work cut out for them.

of the NBA All-Star Game from Detroit.

1762
01:58:42,000 --> 01:58:45,000
With the best in the East taking on the best in the West,

1763
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:47,000
you'll say...

1764
01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:51,000
You saw it on CBS Sports.

1765

Scott, may you come out hard.

1766
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:56,000
So we have 2 minutes, 20 seconds left,

1767
01:58:56,000 --> 01:59:00,000
and Larry Costello trying to pull some magic off here.

1768
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:05,000
This Chicago team who's won the first two games here in McNichols Arena on the 28th of December,

1769
01:59:05,000 --> 01:59:10,000
then they went to the stadium in Chicago and duplicated their effort on the 29th.

1770
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:13,000
Well, they had two good efforts in a back-to-back series,

1771
01:59:13,000 --> 01:59:15,000
and they seemed to have lost it.

1772
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:18,000
They played a good first period, got bogged down in the second period,

1773
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:20,000
and it's been a long climb for them.

1774
01:59:20,000 --> 01:59:22,000
They got within nine in the third period.

1775
01:59:22,000 --> 01:59:23,000
They have been within nine.

1776
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:25,000
A couple of the 11 or 9 was in the fourth period,

1777
01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:28,000
but they have not been able to get over the hill as Gilmore worked.

1778
01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:30,000
Gilmore misses one that he didn't want to miss.

1779
01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:32,000
92-78.

1780
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:37,000
Approaching the two-minute period now as Issel to Smith.

1781
01:59:37,000 --> 01:59:41,000
Bobby Wilkerson, Denver won't be in as much of a hurry now.

1782
01:59:41,000 --> 01:59:43,000
Mo Ellis, lead action.

1783
01:59:43,000 --> 01:59:46,000
Ellis has been out for the year with a knee operation.

1784
01:59:46,000 --> 01:59:48,000
Here Smith again, and he hits it.

1785
01:59:48,000 --> 01:59:51,000
Robertson Smith.

1786
01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:55,000
This guy, he was cut once last year, then he was brought back,

1787
01:59:55,000 --> 01:59:58,000
and he has a niche on this basketball team.

1788
01:59:58,000 --> 02:00:01,000
94-78, a minute 51 left.

1789
02:00:01,000 --> 02:00:03,000
Fias from the corner.

1790
02:00:03,000 --> 02:00:07,000
Landsberger, Pablo Timpson, he has 21 points.

1791
02:00:07,000 --> 02:00:12,000
21 points, 27 rebounds.

1792
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:14,000
94-80.

1793
02:00:14,000 --> 02:00:17,000
Issel, off to Boswell.

1794
02:00:17,000 --> 02:00:19,000
You can see they're in no hurry right now.

1795
02:00:19,000 --> 02:00:21,000
They want to use some of that time.

1796
02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:23,000
Well, they use that clock to have everything in their favor.

1797
02:00:23,000 --> 02:00:25,000
Robert Smith makes a tough try.

1798
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:28,000
Landsberger with another rebound, and Fias, really a good athletic effort.

1799
02:00:28,000 --> 02:00:30,000
He gets the hoop.

1800
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:32,000
You know, he can use either hand equally well.

1801
02:00:32,000 --> 02:00:33,000
You notice that?

1802
02:00:33,000 --> 02:00:36,000
He was comfortable going up left-handed that time as right-handed.

1803
02:00:36,000 --> 02:00:40,000
Either way, they just have to be a little bit more consistent.

1804
02:00:40,000 --> 02:00:43,000
94-82, off to Boswell.

1805
02:00:43,000 --> 02:00:48,000
1-14 left in this one.

1806
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:52,000
Denver trying to win their second in a row after breaking a three-game losing streak Friday night.

1807
02:00:52,000 --> 02:00:53,000
Bo Ellis.

1808
02:00:53,000 --> 02:00:56,000
Issel, nice play by Bo Ellis.

1809
02:00:56,000 --> 02:01:00,000
Issel with 12 points.

1810
02:01:00,000 --> 02:01:02,000
96-82, Alan De Fias.

1811
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:05,000
One minute left.

1812
02:01:05,000 --> 02:01:07,000
Gilmore.

1813
02:01:07,000 --> 02:01:09,000
Gilmore hasn't scored an awful lot in the second half.

1814
02:01:09,000 --> 02:01:10,000
Fias.

1815
02:01:10,000 --> 02:01:12,000
Well, Denver's done a good job of doubling up on him,

1816
02:01:12,000 --> 02:01:15,000
making him take the shot from the position that he doesn't want.

1817
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:18,000
Early in the ballgame, he was able to go in a one-on-one situation,

1818
02:01:18,000 --> 02:01:20,000
wheel and roll inside and get any kind of hoop.

1819
02:01:20,000 --> 02:01:23,000
And they started sending a bunch of people at him,

1820
02:01:23,000 --> 02:01:26,000
and that changed Chicago's offensive effort completely.

1821
02:01:26,000 --> 02:01:28,000
He's had only seven points in the second half.

1822
02:01:28,000 --> 02:01:30,000
He has 20 for the game.

1823
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:33,000
Scott May driving inside, and he's been fouled.

1824
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:38,000
And they got a goaltender. Bobby Wilkerson went up and slapped that ball away.

1825
02:01:38,000 --> 02:01:39,000
You'll see May out here now.

1826
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:41,000
He makes a good move to get by Bo Ellis.

1827
02:01:41,000 --> 02:01:44,000
This is not smart basketball by Wilkerson as he slaps it away dead.

1828
02:01:44,000 --> 02:01:47,000
It looks like that ball was easy to be close to going in.

1829
02:01:47,000 --> 02:01:51,000
And maybe Bobby Wilkerson has given his teammate a break.

1830
02:01:51,000 --> 02:01:54,000
So the basket will go to Scott May.

1831
02:01:54,000 --> 02:01:57,000
Scott Lloyd now comes in replacing artist Gilmore.

1832
02:01:57,000 --> 02:02:00,000
John Brown will come into the ballgame.

1833
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:02,000
Mark Landsberger will go out.

1834
02:02:02,000 --> 02:02:06,000
Landsberger with 28 rebounds, 21 points.

1835
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:08,000
I give him my vote.

1836
02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:09,000
Where are you on this one?

1837
02:02:09,000 --> 02:02:12,000
Well, I thought David Thompson, he challenged him at every time,

1838
02:02:12,000 --> 02:02:14,000
and I think that, you know, we kind of split on that.

1839
02:02:14,000 --> 02:02:17,000
We might have to call for Billy Barnes to bail us out on that.

1840
02:02:17,000 --> 02:02:20,000
All right, Bill Barnes, you will cast this siding vote.

1841
02:02:20,000 --> 02:02:22,000
Put the old pressure on.

1842
02:02:22,000 --> 02:02:24,000
Twenty-five seconds left.

1843
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:26,000
Smith.

1844
02:02:26,000 --> 02:02:28,000
Scott Lloyd trying to get the ball,

1845
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:32,000
and Robert Smith instead comes away with it.

1846
02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:35,000
Denver to win their 28th game of the year.

1847
02:02:35,000 --> 02:02:37,000
And here Hughes put one away.

1848
02:02:37,000 --> 02:02:40,000
Six points for Hughes.

1849
02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:43,000
So Mark Landsberger is our MVP.

1850
02:02:43,000 --> 02:02:45,000
Bill Barnes casts the siding vote.

1851
02:02:45,000 --> 02:02:48,000
Doubling up on me like the Chicago Bulls are being doubled up

1852
02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:50,000
like Scott May out there.

1853
02:02:50,000 --> 02:02:51,000
John Brown working hard.

1854
02:02:51,000 --> 02:02:53,000
He gets it down, but a little bit too late.

1855
02:02:53,000 --> 02:02:55,000
It's all academic now.

1856
02:02:55,000 --> 02:03:00,000
The score is 98 to 67, and there's our Most Valuable Player.

1857
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:04,000
The Chevrolet Most Valuable Player Award goes to Mark Landsberger.

1858
02:03:04,000 --> 02:03:06,000
Twenty-one points, 28 rebounds.

1859
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:11,000
The Chevrolet $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to Arizona State

1860
02:03:11,000 --> 02:03:14,000
on behalf of Mark Landsberger.

1861
02:03:14,000 --> 02:03:18,000
So 98 to 87, our score, the Denver Nuggets,

1862
02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:22,000
after dropping the first two games of the year to the Chicago Bulls,

1863
02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:25,000
after day three.

1864
02:03:28,000 --> 02:03:30,000
The Miller people promised me a case of light beer

1865
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:32,000
if I could keep this ball spinning for the length of this commercial.

1866
02:03:32,000 --> 02:03:36,000
Now, I'm not one to show off, but I do just about anything for a few light beers.

1867
02:03:36,000 --> 02:03:38,000
You see, light's got a third less calories than the regular beer

1868
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:40,000
and it's less filling, so I can stay loose.

1869
02:03:40,000 --> 02:03:42,000
But the thing I like best is the taste.

1870
02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:46,000
And I believe it this time that somebody here owes me a case of that taste.

1871
02:03:46,000 --> 02:03:50,000
Thanks a lot, boys. See you around.

1872
02:03:50,000 --> 02:03:54,000
Light beer from Miller. Everything you always wanted in a beer. And less.

1873
02:03:54,000 --> 02:03:56,000
Hey, Charlie.

1874
02:03:56,000 --> 02:03:58,000
This is it.

1875
02:03:58,000 --> 02:04:02,000
This is it. America's a new Chevrolet.

1876
02:04:02,000 --> 02:04:06,000
America, if you're looking for a full-size car that goes easy on the gas.

1877
02:04:06,000 --> 02:04:08,000
This is it.

1878
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:10,000
And easy on the road.

1879
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:11,000
This is it.

1880
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:13,000
A car with all kinds of room inside.

1881
02:04:13,000 --> 02:04:14,000
This is it.

1882
02:04:14,000 --> 02:04:16,000
The new Chevrolet, a new generation car

1883
02:04:16,000 --> 02:04:20,000
bought and embraced by more than a million people in its first two years.

1884
02:04:20,000 --> 02:04:22,000
Caprice and Impala for $19.79.

1885
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:26,000
This is it. America, look, new Chevrolet.

1886
02:04:28,000 --> 02:04:32,000
Owen's Corning would like to help you understand insulation R values.

1887
02:04:32,000 --> 02:04:34,000
R stands for resistance to heat flow.

1888
02:04:34,000 --> 02:04:38,000
It's the right way to measure insulating power, not thickness.

1889
02:04:38,000 --> 02:04:42,000
Look, it takes about 18 feet of stone to give you an R value of R-19,

1890
02:04:42,000 --> 02:04:48,000
but only 15 inches of wood and six inches of this Owen's Corning fiberglass insulation.

1891
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:50,000
So check for R value.

1892
02:04:50,000 --> 02:04:53,000
The higher the R value, the greater the insulating power.

1893
02:04:53,000 --> 02:04:57,000
Want to know about insulation? Ask the experts. Ask Owen's Corning.

1894
02:05:03,000 --> 02:05:05,000
It's all over at McNichols Arena.

1895
02:05:05,000 --> 02:05:09,000
The Denver Nuggets defeating the Chicago Bulls, 98 to 87.

1896
02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:11,000
An update on Mark Landsberger officially now.

1897
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:15,000
He's been credited with 29 rebounds.

1898
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:18,000
A go at his 21 points, and of course, he's our MVP.

1899
02:05:18,000 --> 02:05:22,000
But as you look at this Denver attack, they got very good balance scoring.

1900
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:29,000
David Thompson led the way with 27 points, but he was closely followed by George McEnnis with 19.

1901
02:05:29,000 --> 02:05:34,000
It was 15 points for Bobby Wilkerson, 12 for Dan Issell.

1902
02:05:34,000 --> 02:05:37,000
And then they had some good scoring off the bench from Hughes with six,

1903
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:41,000
Roberts with four, and Robert Smith with a total of eight.

1904
02:05:41,000 --> 02:05:45,000
As far as Chicago's concerned, leading the way was Landsberger.

1905
02:05:45,000 --> 02:05:47,000
He was followed by Gilmore, who had 20 points.

1906
02:05:47,000 --> 02:05:50,000
Then Wilbur Holland had 16.

1907
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:52,000
Scott May, a total of 12.

1908
02:05:52,000 --> 02:05:56,000
Theus, six. And Mickey Johnson, a total of two.

1909
02:05:56,000 --> 02:06:00,000
So as you look at this game, it was an uphill struggle all the way for Chicago.

1910
02:06:00,000 --> 02:06:04,000
It started out with Denver jumping to an 11 to 4 lead.

1911
02:06:04,000 --> 02:06:08,000
Then all of a sudden, it was 16-14 as the Bulls came fighting back.

1912
02:06:08,000 --> 02:06:14,000
After a one-quarter action, it was 24-20, a four-point lead for Denver.

1913
02:06:14,000 --> 02:06:21,000
And then at halftime, Denver made a run as they led by 21 at the intermission, 57 to 36.

1914
02:06:21,000 --> 02:06:26,000
And then Chicago played very good defense, very aggressive on the boards,

1915
02:06:26,000 --> 02:06:29,000
cut it to nine points at the third-quarter mark.

1916
02:06:29,000 --> 02:06:35,000
And it was finally 75-64 before Denver made their move once again and put this game away.

1917
02:06:35,000 --> 02:06:39,000
So after Chicago won the first two, it was Denver here today.

1918
02:06:39,000 --> 02:06:42,000
And Denver now moving their record to 28-24.

1919
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:47,000
They started the afternoon three and a half games behind the surprising Kansas City Kings.

1920
02:06:47,000 --> 02:06:59,000
1-scrap, that's his sixth.
