This is the big one right now. This is the one you've got to win. 40 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000 And now look at this game Bill. It's such a big game for them because you've got to beat them here. 41 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000 If you don't beat them here the whole momentum swings to Denver side. 42 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:31,000 And even though they can beat them in Denver when you lose two in a row to a team like Denver that's going back home again the whole momentum is going the other way. 43 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000 They've got to beat them here tonight and Denver knows they're running into a warning next year. 44 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000 They know they've got to win here tonight.

It's in the air and the ball will do it all over again. 46 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,000 It was passed both ways. They both jumped both a little quick and they both went up and came down again. 47 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,000 The ball was still there. They kind of a missed tap over reaction. 48 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000 Garrett's and I'll toss it in the air.

Bill's super what they shoot 43 or 48 percent in the free throw line. 63 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,000 That just killed him if it is made one he would have won the ball game left side regulation. 64 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,000 They've got to be a better free throw shooting something they were yesterday. 65 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Holland's first free throw is good. Maybe that's a good omen. 66 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:32,000 It's now three to nothing Portland out in front 10 57 remaining to be played in the first period game just underway. 67 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,000 The train with one more it takes time.

just before he took off. 145 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000 Got him on the dribble. 146 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,000 Jones didn't bounce the Mac Calvin. 147 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,000 It's 4-2. 148

00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,000 He's fouled. 172 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,000 I tell you, he's lucky he got the call because he lost the ball. 173 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,000 Bill, he tried to get up there and force it and the ball squirted out of his hands but 174 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,000 he gave it a six-ten and he jumped in to Bobby Jones and drew the foul. 175 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,000 Bobby Jones picks up his first personal foul of the ball game. 176 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,000 Denver is one for six from the four to this point. 177 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,000 I can't emphasize enough though. 178 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000 The difference is the defense. 179 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,000 Yesterday the Blazers were back on their heels. 180 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,000 We're letting them operate anywhere around the top of the key inside. 181 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,000 Today they're operating out there 20-25 feet away. 182 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,000 They're pressing the leaves. 183 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,000 It's just a whole completely different picture defensively. 184 00:09:40,000 --> 00:10:00,320 Johnny Davis, first free throw is good. 185 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,000 In the series he's four for four. 186 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000 Now make it five for five of the free throw line. 187 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,000 Here's the second one. 188 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,000 He's six for six. 189 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,000 It's six to two. 190 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000 Blazers are four for four as a team at the free throw line. 191 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,000 Six to two Portland. 192 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,000 Mac Calvin at mid-court. 193 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,000 Johnny Davis on him. 194 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,000 Max the veteran. 195 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,000 Johnny the young rookie. 196 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,000 Max Denver. 197 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,000 He's got this one however. 198 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,000 And it will make it 13 to four. 199 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,000 Blazers biggest lead 13 to two. 200 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,000 Hollins works the ball in the right front court. 201 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,000 Over to Gross. 202 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000 Gross takes a look. 203 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,000 We got a low to Walton. 204 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,000 Walton back in on it. 205 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,000 So hands the ball to Lucas. 206 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,000 He starts a little drive and he goes a little off his foot. 207 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,000 I had that problem. 208 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,000 I had that problem. 209 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,000 I had that problem. 210 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,000 I had that problem. 211 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,000 I had that problem. 212 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,000 I had that problem. 213 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,000 I had that problem. 214 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,000 I had that problem. 215 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,000 I had that problem. 216 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000 We got big feet at half a foot. 217 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,680 Four turnovers for Portland. 218 00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:45,680 Ted McClane comes in for Denver and Mac Calvin will go out. 219 00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:48,000 It will be McClane and Price in the back court. 220 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,040 It's Webster Thompson and Isle up front for Denver. 221 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,580 Blazers lead 13 to four. 222 00:10:52,580 --> 00:10:53,580 Denver with the ball. 223 00:10:53,580 --> 00:10:54,580 In the center drive it's McClane. 224 00:10:54,580 --> 00:10:55,580 It's going to be price left. 225 00:10:55,580 --> 00:10:56,580 Hollins on him. 226 00:10:56,580 --> 00:10:57,580 Now a low to Webster. 227 00:10:57,580 --> 00:10:58,580 Backs in on Lucas. 228 00:10:58,580 --> 00:10:59,580 Hands back to David Thompson. 229 00:10:59,580 --> 00:11:00,580 Dribbles once. 230 00:11:00,580 --> 00:11:01,580 Wings into a shot. 231 00:11:01,580 --> 00:11:02,580 Oh my goodness. 232 00:11:02,580 --> 00:11:03,580 He's got it and he is fouled. 233 00:11:03,580 --> 00:11:08,580 Yeah, he was foul. That's why, with the crowd noise, I couldn't hear the whistle because he was going on, but he definitely was. 234 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:14,580 In the ballgame, Chet McClain to Iso, low drive on Walton, offensive foul, Iso. 235 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,580 He's not going to argue the call in front of these players. 236 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,580 He started to argue the call. Walton hits the deck high and he gets up. He's alright. 237 00:11:23,580 --> 00:11:25,580 Four turnovers for Denver. 238 00:11:25,580 --> 00:11:29,580 4.35 remaining to be played in a very noisy first period. 239 00:11:29,580 --> 00:11:34,580 One reason he didn't argue the call, Bill was backing up when he ran over and you can't fake too much if you knock a guy over when you're going backwards. 240 00:11:34,580 --> 00:11:36,580 Jack Ramsey calling out to play. 241 00:11:36,580 --> 00:11:39,580 Holland football, cross-court to Johnny Davis. That's a leap in the air for the pass. 242 00:11:39,580 --> 00:11:42,580 Down to Steele, turnaround jumper, rip! 243 00:11:42,580 --> 00:11:45,580 That's a foul too, Roy Wise. 244 00:11:47,580 --> 00:11:49,580 Larry Steele will go to the free throw line. 245 00:11:49,580 --> 00:11:54,580 If anybody is due for a game, it's Larry Steele. 246 00:11:54,580 --> 00:12:00,580 He's due to have a super game and I know Larry, he's that kind of competitor and he'd love to do it against his old teammates. 247 00:12:01,580 --> 00:12:04,580 Three point play for Larry Steele. It's 22 to 10. 248 00:12:04,580 --> 00:12:06,580 Blazers lead. 249 00:12:06,580 --> 00:12:10,580 4.20 to go in the first quarter. Davis Thompson works the ball around the Webster fix. 250 00:12:10,580 --> 00:12:12,580 Down to McClain, left side. 251 00:12:12,580 --> 00:12:14,580 Willie Wise wants the ball. They get it. 252 00:12:14,580 --> 00:12:17,580 Leopold number 42 to Iso. Double team. Iso backs out. 253 00:12:17,580 --> 00:12:20,580 Pass blocked, going to Walton, picks up Steele. 254 00:12:20,580 --> 00:12:22,580 Ahead to Holland, Davis. 255 00:12:22,580 --> 00:12:24,580 There he goes! Score! 256 00:12:24,580 --> 00:12:27,580 That's all. Heads up defense. Time out, Denver. 257 00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:35,580 Led by Larry Steele. 258 00:12:35,580 --> 00:12:39,580 The Blazers get a steal and a break and two points. 259 00:12:39,580 --> 00:12:46,580 4.01 remaining to be played. First period, if you can hear it, the score is Portland 24 Denver 10. 260 00:12:46,580 --> 00:12:49,580 Action will continue in just a moment. 261 00:12:49,580 --> 00:12:51,580 Medium low post, left side. 262 00:12:51,580 --> 00:12:53,580 Needs help. Back out for Steele. 263 00:12:53,580 --> 00:12:59,580 It went out of bounds in front of us right off of McClain. My goodness, the whole crowd could see it. 264 00:12:59,580 --> 00:13:01,580 Jack Madden said the other way. 265 00:13:01,580 --> 00:13:05,580 He called an offensive foul, bill against Luke for a move and tick. That's what he called. 266 00:13:10,580 --> 00:13:13,580 You're right. Unreal. 267 00:13:13,580 --> 00:13:16,580 Three personal fouls on Maurice Lucas. 268 00:13:17,580 --> 00:13:19,580 Denver up for the ball. 269 00:13:19,580 --> 00:13:23,580 This game is firing from over. I said that yesterday. I've said it every broadcast. 270 00:13:23,580 --> 00:13:27,580 Thompson fakes, drives the middle, shoots over Larry Steele. He's not going to get this one. 271 00:13:27,580 --> 00:13:29,580 An offensive foul! 272 00:13:29,580 --> 00:13:31,580 Makeup time, Jack, right there. 273 00:13:31,580 --> 00:13:35,580 Jack Madden just made the classic makeup call. 274 00:13:36,580 --> 00:13:39,580 David Thompson picks up his first personal foul. 275 00:13:39,580 --> 00:13:42,580 One-hander. He's been watching by Rindock. 276 00:13:43,580 --> 00:13:46,580 27-16 on the bucket by Wally Walker. 277 00:13:46,580 --> 00:13:49,580 An overhand hook from the right side. 278 00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:53,580 Or whatever you call it. Webster, McClain, back to Walton, back out to Thompson. 279 00:13:53,580 --> 00:13:58,580 20-footer, no good. Rebound, Webster, but off his hands, out of bounds. 280 00:14:00,580 --> 00:14:02,580 Holy backboard, folks. 281 00:14:02,580 --> 00:14:04,580 What a night we're having. 282 00:14:04,580 --> 00:14:07,580 Wally Walker is hurting, Bill. He's going to come out of the game. 283 00:14:07,580 --> 00:14:09,580 That shoulder is bothering him. 284 00:14:09,580 --> 00:14:11,580 I'd be surprised to see him come back in tonight. 285 00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:14,580 That's why he took such a funny shot when he took the baseline. 286 00:14:14,580 --> 00:14:17,580 That shoulder is definitely bothering him. He might even have a partial separation. 287 00:14:17,580 --> 00:14:19,580 I don't know, but he's acting like it's bothering him that way. 288 00:14:19,580 --> 00:14:20,580 I hope not. 289 00:14:20,580 --> 00:14:22,580 All right, Lionel Hollins back in. 290 00:14:22,580 --> 00:14:24,580 The back court with Steele. 291 00:14:24,580 --> 00:14:27,580 To Walton, top of the circle, Isleback in. 292 00:14:27,580 --> 00:14:29,580 Into Steele, ball batting away. 293 00:14:29,580 --> 00:14:30,580 Willie Wise. 294 00:14:30,580 --> 00:14:33,580 Blazers will retain possession in front court. 295 00:14:33,580 --> 00:14:35,580 59 seconds remaining. 296 00:14:35,580 --> 00:14:37,580 Thompson goes out. Calvin comes in. 297 00:14:37,580 --> 00:14:41,580 The rubber band man comes in for Portland, and Walton will go out. 298 00:14:41,580 --> 00:14:44,580 Robin Jones, Steele will inbound down to her left. 299 00:14:44,580 --> 00:14:46,580 Funny inbound play, put her on the floor to Hollins. 300 00:14:46,580 --> 00:14:48,580 Works the ball to Neal. Free throw in there. 301 00:14:48,580 --> 00:14:50,580 He goes to his right, shoots over Isle. Good! 302 00:14:50,580 --> 00:14:52,580 All right, Neal. What a money player. 303 00:14:52,580 --> 00:14:54,580 I'll tell you, he's tough in this one. 304 00:14:54,580 --> 00:14:56,580 29 to 16, Portland. 305 00:14:56,580 --> 00:14:58,580 Matt Calvin, left front court. 306 00:14:58,580 --> 00:15:00,580 Playing away from him. Hollins. 307 00:15:00,580 --> 00:15:02,580 Calvin. McClain. Calvin. Isle. 308 00:15:02,580 --> 00:15:04,580 Over. Robin Jones in and out. No good. 309 00:15:04,580 --> 00:15:06,580 Refan. Let's see. 310 00:15:06,580 --> 00:15:08,580 It went out of bounds off Bobby Gross. 311 00:15:08,580 --> 00:15:10,580 Get out of our way. I can't see. 312 00:15:10,580 --> 00:15:12,580 Over to Willie Wise. Left of the circle. Shoots over Hollins. 313 00:15:12,580 --> 00:15:14,580 No good.

He goes hard to that hurt. 319 00:15:26,580 --> 00:15:28,580 31-16, Portland. 320 00:15:28,580 --> 00:15:31,580 15-14 seconds to go in the quarter. 321 00:15:31,580 --> 00:15:33,580 Denver will play for the final shot. 322 00:15:33,580 --> 00:15:35,580 Saban shell shot.

Went out of bounds off. 325 00:15:39,580 --> 00:15:43,580 It'll be Portland's ball with five seconds remaining to be played in the quarter. 326 00:15:43,580 --> 00:15:45,580 Can they get two more? 327 00:15:45,580 --> 00:15:47,580 Bobby. 328 00:15:47,580 --> 00:15:50,580 He told them the ball up just for a minute, Bill, to get a substitution in here. 329 00:15:50,580 --> 00:15:51,580 They can't play. 330 00:15:51,580 --> 00:15:53,580 Esso will go out and Bobby Jones will come in. 331 00:15:53,580 --> 00:15:56,580 Glaciers have five seconds to come out of backcourt. 332 00:15:56,580 --> 00:15:58,580 Steele in bounds to Hollins. Over to McClain. 333 00:15:58,580 --> 00:16:00,580 He goes. There's the shot on its way. 334 00:16:00,580 --> 00:16:02,580 Oh! 335 00:16:02,580 --> 00:16:04,580 Oh! 336 00:16:04,580 --> 00:16:07,580 That made up for the one he didn't make yesterday. 337 00:16:07,580 --> 00:16:09,580 Wowie-owie. 338 00:16:09,580 --> 00:16:13,580 He came over to McClain and ripped city. 339 00:16:13,580 --> 00:16:15,580 All right! 340 00:16:15,580 --> 00:16:17,580 The score at the end of the quarter. 341 00:16:17,580 --> 00:16:19,580 Listen to this crowd. 342 00:16:19,580 --> 00:16:22,580 Portland 33, Denver 16. 343 00:16:22,580 --> 00:16:25,580 And that will continue in just a moment. 344 00:16:25,580 --> 00:16:27,580 That's Esso. Turn around. 345 00:16:27,580 --> 00:16:29,580 Jepper blocked from behind by Steele. 346 00:16:29,580 --> 00:16:31,580 They're going to call a foul. 347 00:16:31,580 --> 00:16:33,580 And it's Jack Mapp. 348 00:16:33,580 --> 00:16:38,580 Actually, they both called it, I guess, because Darrell Garrison came across. 349 00:16:38,580 --> 00:16:41,580 And Larry Steele picks up his second personal foul. 350 00:16:41,580 --> 00:16:43,580 I thought he had a hand on the ball from behind. 351 00:16:43,580 --> 00:16:45,580 This will turn around and say, was that you, Steele? 352 00:16:45,580 --> 00:16:46,580 Steele said yes. 353 00:16:46,580 --> 00:16:48,580 And he liked that and chuckled at him. 354 00:16:48,580 --> 00:16:51,580 Nine, 33 remaining to be played. 355 00:16:51,580 --> 00:16:53,580 In the half, 40 to 23. 356 00:16:53,580 --> 00:16:55,580 Portland out in front. 357 00:16:55,580 --> 00:16:57,580 Portland lead 33 to 16. 358 00:16:57,580 --> 00:16:59,580 At the end of the first period. 359 00:16:59,580 --> 00:17:01,580 Hissle's first free throw is good. 360 00:17:01,580 --> 00:17:03,580 Dan in the ball game has five points. 361 00:17:03,580 --> 00:17:05,580 During

00:18:26,580 --> 00:18:31,580 Robin Jones did one fine job in there both offensively and defensively. 417 00:18:31,580 --> 00:18:32,580 He held in. 418 00:18:32,580 --> 00:18:33,580 It's all through zip. 419 00:18:33,580 --> 00:18:34,580 Spilas at the line. 420 00:18:34,580 --> 00:18:35,580 Paul pushes the first one up. 421 00:18:35,580 --> 00:18:36,580 It's not good. 422 00:18:36,580 -->

496 00:20:24,140 --> 00:20:25,140 Kind of surprised by the way this game has gone. 497 00:20:25,140 --> 00:20:30,140 Jack Madden is usually the quieter of the two officials every time I've seen him work this 498 00:20:30,140 --> 00:20:31,140 game with Darryl Garrison. 499 00:20:31,140 --> 00:20:35,140 He has taken the kind of the commanding lead as the lead official here and is really tooting 500 00:20:35,140 --> 00:20:36,140 that whistle. 501 00:20:36,140 --> 00:20:37,140 Salas at the 9, 3 to make 2. 502 00:20:37,140 --> 00:20:38,140 He made the first. 503 00:20:38,140 --> 00:20:39,140 Missed the second. 504 00:20:39,140 --> 00:20:40,140 Paul Salas will now shoot the penalty. 505 00:20:40,140 --> 00:20:41,140 And he lets it go. 506 00:20:41,140 --> 00:20:44,140 And he doesn't get it. 507 00:20:44,140 --> 00:20:45,140 He only made one. 508 00:20:45,140 --> 00:20:50,140 Lucas takes the ball off the backboard to Hollands. 509 00:20:50,140 --> 00:20:51,140 Now to Johnny Davis. 510 00:20:51,140 --> 00:20:52,140 Mac Calvin and Johnny D. The two smallest men on the floor. 511 00:20:52,140 --> 00:20:53,140 Johnny Davis with the ball on the floor from Lionel Hollands. 512 00:20:53,140 --> 00:20:54,140 Works our way to get the ball to the high post man. 513 00:20:54,140 --> 00:20:55,140 In this case it's Luke Lowes Walton to get him the ball. 514 00:20:55,140 --> 00:20:56,140 Turns around. 515 00:20:56,140 --> 00:20:57,140 Here's

traveled. 520 00:21:01,140 --> 00:21:02,140 He got the shot. 521 00:21:02,140 --> 00:21:03,140 He got the shot. 522 00:21:03,140 --> 00:21:04,140 He got the shot. 523 00:21:04,140 --> 00:21:05,140 He got the shot. 524 00:21:05,140 --> 00:21:06,140 He got the shot. 525 00:21:06,140 --> 00:21:07,140 He got the shot. 526 00:21:07,140 --> 00:21:08,140 He got the shot. 527 00:21:08,140 --> 00:21:11,140 They say Bill traveled. 528 00:21:11,140 --> 00:21:12,140 He got the shot away. 529 00:21:12,140 --> 00:21:13,140 It will not count. 530 00:21:13,140 --> 00:21:14,140 Jack Madden says that Bill traveled. 531 00:21:14,140 --> 00:21:15,140 Look at Ramsey down to our left. 532 00:21:15,140 --> 00:21:16,140 He's calling it out to Madden. 533 00:21:16,140 --> 00:21:17,140 He said everything's for them. 534 00:21:17,140 --> 00:21:18,140 He's right. 535 00:21:18,140 --> 00:21:19,140 Denver with the ball. 536 00:21:19,140 --> 00:21:20,140 Mac Calvin at mid-court. 537 00:21:20,140 --> 00:21:21,140 A swing of the left to Willie Wise. 538 00:21:21,140 --> 00:21:22,140 Pulls out a play with a Webster. 539 00:21:22,140 --> 00:21:23,140 Couldn't hang on to the ball. 540 00:21:23,140 --> 00:21:24,140 Johnny Davis hasn't. 541 00:21:24,140 --> 00:21:25,140 He's got a break away. 542 00:21:25,140 --> 00:21:26,140 He's gone. 543 00:21:26,140 --> 00:21:27,140 Great play. 544 00:21:27,140 --> 00:21:28,140 He took off a long way from the basket there. 545 00:21:28,140 --> 00:21:29,140 But he had Willie Wise and he had a great shot. 546 00:21:29,140 --> 00:21:30,140 He's gone. 547 00:21:30,140 --> 00:21:31,140 He's gone. 548 00:21:31,140 --> 00:21:38,140 Great play. 549 00:21:38,140 --> 00:21:47,140 He took off a long way from the basket there. 550 00:21:47,140 --> 00:21:48,140 But he had Willie Wise and Webster. 551 00:21:48,140 --> 00:21:49,140 He had to get in between them and he made a good little flip shot. 552 00:21:49,140 --> 00:21:50,140 48-31 on the bucket pass and the steal by Johnny Davis. 553 00:21:50,140 --> 00:21:51,140 Turnovers really hurt. 554 00:21:51,140 --> 00:21:52,140 I know they're dying down there on that Denver bench. 555 00:21:52,140 --> 00:21:53,140 They have those kind of turnovers. 556 00:21:53,140 --> 00:21:54,140 It has three three-second calls on the team. 557 00:21:54,140 --> 00:21:55,140 And they don't argue the call. 558 00:21:55,140 --> 00:21:56,140 Here come the Blazers back up the floor. 559 00:21:56,140 --> 00:21:57,140 Four and a half minutes to go and a half. 560 00:21:57,140 --> 00:22:02,140 Allen, Lucas, give and go back to line on the jumper off to the left. 561 00:22:02,140 --> 00:22:03,140 No good. 562 00:22:03,140 --> 00:22:04,140 It's all a rebound. 563 00:22:04,140 --> 00:22:05,140 Ruffle away from Walton to McClain. 564 00:22:05,140 --> 00:22:06,140 Bounce pass ahead to McCalvin. 565 00:22:06,140 --> 00:22:07,140 McCalvin staff shoots. 566 00:22:07,140 --> 00:22:08,140 18-footer in and out. 567 00:22:08,140 --> 00:22:09,140 No good. 568 00:22:09,140 --> 00:22:10,140 Lucas the rebound. 569 00:22:10,140 --> 00:22:11,140 Take a look now. 570 00:22:11,140 --> 00:22:12,140 Luke wants some help.

calling a play I think, Billy. 575 00:22:16,140 --> 00:22:17,140 Pointing to his forward which is indicating a play. 576 00:22:17,140 --> 00:22:18,140 A Blazers call out the play. 577 00:22:18,140 --> 00:22:19,140 Took their time. 578 00:22:19,140 --> 00:22:20,140 They're going to get a little bit of a break. 579 00:22:20,140 --> 00:22:21,140 They're going to get a little bit of a break. 580 00:22:21,140 --> 00:22:22,140 They're going to get a little bit of a break. 581 00:22:22,140 --> 00:22:23,140 They're going to get a little bit of a break. 582 00:22:23,140 --> 00:22:30,140 A Blazers call out the play, took their time coming up the floor and Darrell Garrison says, 583 00:22:30,140 --> 00:22:32,140 uh-uh, you took too much time. 584 00:22:32,140 --> 00:22:36,660 Ramsey probably will blame himself a little bit on that because he was looking for Walton 585 00:22:36,660 --> 00:22:39,140 and not watching anything else. 586 00:22:39,140 --> 00:22:42,140 So the Blazers turn it over on a rare 10-second violation. 587 00:22:42,140 --> 00:22:46,140 The score is Portland 54, Denver 35. 588 00:22:46,140 --> 00:22:54,140 And action will continue. 589 00:22:54,140 --> 00:22:59,140 The reaction you heard just a moment ago, Dave Porzek went to the locker room a little 590 00:22:59,140 --> 00:23:05,140 bit on the early side on the crutches just so we can get there for convenience sake. 591 00:23:05,140 --> 00:23:07,140 Portland in the quarter, 9 of 15. 592 00:23:07,140 --> 00:23:09,140 They continue to shoot hot, 60 percent. 593 00:23:09,140 --> 00:23:12,140 But Denver now is 5-4-8 in the quarter. 594 00:23:12,140 --> 00:23:15,140 For the game, Portland's shooting 65 percent for Nuggets 38. 595 00:23:15,140 --> 00:23:18,140 David Thompson will go to the line. 596 00:23:18,140 --> 00:23:19,140 One point for penalties. 597 00:23:19,140 --> 00:23:21,140 Thompson's first free throw in and out. 598 00:23:21,140 --> 00:23:22,140 It is not good. 599 00:23:22,140 --> 00:23:24,140 Will remain 54 to 35, Portland. 600 00:23:24,140 --> 00:23:27,140 I don't know if they're shooting now, but they couldn't be much better than about 7 601 00:23:27,140 --> 00:23:29,140 for 18 from the free throw line. 602 00:23:29,140 --> 00:23:30,140 They're really having a tough time. 603 00:23:30,140 --> 00:23:35,140 Thompson's second free throw is good. 604 00:23:35,140 --> 00:23:38,140 Blazers now bring up the ball up the floor. 605 00:23:38,140 --> 00:23:39,140 Holland picked up a midcourt. 606 00:23:39,140 --> 00:23:41,140 Mac Cowan puts on the break. 607 00:23:41,140 --> 00:23:42,140 Over for Lucas. 608 00:23:42,140 --> 00:23:43,140 Foul from behind. 609 00:23:43,140 --> 00:23:44,140 Bobby Jones. 610 00:23:44,140 --> 00:23:46,140 Bobby Jones is having a real tough night, Bill. 611 00:23:46,140 --> 00:23:49,140 He's had a hard time, and it may be because he's, you know, timing off because of his 612 00:23:49,140 --> 00:23:50,140 injury a little bit. 613 00:23:50,140 --> 00:23:53,140 But he's sure having a hard time defensively, and that's usually his strongest suit. 614 00:23:53,140 --> 00:23:54,140 Holland's advanced to look at the line. 615 00:23:54,140 --> 00:23:56,140 Along the guard pole with exchange. 616 00:23:56,140 --> 00:23:57,140 Line over the ball. 617 00:23:57,140 --> 00:23:58,140 Getting instructions from the bench. 618 00:23:58,140 --> 00:23:59,140 Down to Lucas. 619 00:23:59,140 --> 00:24:00,140 Top of the circle. 620 00:24:00,140 --> 00:24:01,140 Cowan cuts through. 621 00:24:01,140 --> 00:24:02,140 They get the ball left side. 622 00:24:02,140 --> 00:24:03,140 Walton. 623 00:24:03,140 --> 00:24:04,140 There's the jumper off the glass. 624 00:24:04,140 --> 00:24:05,140 Off the iron. 625 00:24:05,140 --> 00:24:06,140 No good. 626 00:24:06,140 --> 00:24:07,140 Bobby Jones. 627 00:24:07,140 --> 00:24:08,140 The rebound. 628 00:24:08,140 --> 00:24:09,140 Denver. 629 00:24:09,140 --> 00:24:10,140 Denver is 13 for 24 at the free throw line, by the way. 630 00:24:10,140 --> 00:24:11,140 Then McLean. 631 00:24:11,140 --> 00:24:12,140 Cross court to Bobby Jones. 632 00:24:12,140 --> 00:24:13,140 Quicks the ball to the right side. 633 00:24:13,140 --> 00:24:14,140 Here's back to McLean. 634 00:24:14,140 --> 00:24:15,140 Now to Mac Calvin. 635 00:24:15,140 --> 00:24:16,140 Calvin with the ball way out in front. 636 00:24:16,140 --> 00:24:17,140 Johnny Davis on him. 637 00:24:17,140 --> 00:24:18,140 Over to McLean. 638 00:24:18,140 --> 00:24:19,140 McLean. 639 00:24:19,140 --> 00:24:20,140 Bobby Jones. 640 00:24:20,140 --> 00:24:21,140 Down to the circle. 641 00:24:21,140 --> 00:24:22,140 This will cut through. 642 00:24:22,140 --> 00:24:23,140 Walton stays with him. 643 00:24:23,140 --> 00:24:24,140 Jones. 644 00:24:24,140 --> 00:24:25,140 Back to Calvin. 645 00:24:25,140 --> 00:24:26,140 Five seconds. 646 00:24:26,140 --> 00:24:27,140 Four. 647 00:24:27,140 --> 00:24:28,140 Three. 648 00:24:28,140 --> 00:24:29,140 Calvin goes low. 649 00:24:29,140 --> 00:24:30,140 The jumper at the horn. 650 00:24:30,140 --> 00:24:31,140 Gets in. 651 00:24:31,140 --> 00:24:32,140 Dan Issel. 652 00:24:32,140 --> 00:24:33,140 Issel getting the bucket. 653 00:24:33,140 --> 00:24:34,140 54 to 38. 654 00:24:34,140 --> 00:24:35,140 Issel. 655 00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:36,140 Eight points in the ball game. 656 00:24:36,140 --> 00:24:37,140 Three. 657 00:24:37,140 --> 00:24:38,140 Ten remaining to be played in the half. 658 00:24:38,140 --> 00:24:39,140 Lucas. 659 00:24:39,140 --> 00:24:40,140 Front court. 660 00:24:40,140 --> 00:24:41,140 Out of Calhoun. 661 00:24:41,140 --> 00:24:42,140 Over for Walton. 662 00:24:42,140 --> 00:24:43,140 He's got a reverse layup. 663 00:24:43,140 --> 00:24:44,140 Oh my gosh he's through it. 664 00:24:44,140 --> 00:24:45,140 He's stopping it. 665 00:24:45,140 --> 00:24:46,140 Bobby Jones again. 666 00:24:46,140 --> 00:24:47,140 What a play. 667 00:24:47,140 --> 00:24:54,140 He hung in the air for so long that if what he did he threw him all off base. 668 00:24:54,140 --> 00:24:58,140 He was still up in the air when everybody else had come up and gone down one time. 669 00:24:58,140 --> 00:24:59,140 He was still there. 670 00:24:59,140 --> 00:25:00,140 Johnny Davis getting a starting assignment tonight. 671 00:25:00,140 --> 00:25:04,140 And another one of the Blazers picking up the rest of their teammates. 672 00:25:04,140 --> 00:25:06,140 Dave Portic on the injured list. 673 00:25:06,140 --> 00:25:07,140 Davis. 674 00:25:07,140 --> 00:25:08,140 13 points. 675 00:25:08,140 --> 00:25:10,140 Eight of those in the second period. 676 00:25:10,140 --> 00:25:11,140 He's five for six from the floor. 677 00:25:11,140 --> 00:25:12,140 And three for four at the line. 678 00:25:12,140 --> 00:25:15,140 And he'll try to complete a three point play right now. 679 00:25:15,140 --> 00:25:16,140 The ball is up. 680 00:25:16,140 --> 00:25:17,140 It's in the air. 681 00:25:17,140 --> 00:25:18,140 It's short. 682 00:25:18,140 --> 00:25:19,140 It's not good. 683 00:25:19,140 --> 00:25:20,140 Tepricks. 684 00:25:20,140 -->

Hollins. 699 00:25:35,140 --> 00:25:36,140 Hollins on the right side. 700 00:25:36,140 --> 00:25:37,140 And Johnny Davis from the far coffin corner. 701 00:25:37,140 --> 00:25:41,140 Found one for the shoot to Hollins in the middle. 702 00:25:41,140 --> 00:25:42,140 It's Walton. 703 00:25:42,140 --> 00:25:43,140 Hollins to the right side. 704 00:25:43,140 --> 00:25:44,140 They're looking. 705

didn't walk that time. 727 00:26:08,140 --> 00:26:09,140 He made a great fake again. 728 00:26:09,140 --> 00:26:10,140 He got Bill Walton out of position. 729 00:26:10,140 --> 00:26:11,140 That's the

00:26:45,860 --> 00:26:46,860 Moves through the circle. 753 00:26:46,860 --> 00:26:47,860 That's the left side. 754 00:26:47,860 --> 00:26:48,860 Will he take the shot? 755 00:26:48,860 --> 00:26:49,860 No. 756 00:26:49,860 --> 00:26:50,860 He waits over for Corky Calhoun. 757 00:26:50,860 --> 00:26:51,860 Pass thrown away by McLean. 758 00:26:51,860 --> 00:26:52,860 He takes the ball in

Lucas didn't want to foul. 763 00:26:56,860 --> 00:26:57,860 He's in foul trouble now. 764 00:26:57,860 --> 00:26:58,860 So back to back buckets by the Denver Duggets. 765 00:26:58,860 --> 00:26:59,860 And all of a sudden it's 60-42. 766 00:26:59,860 --> 00:27:00,860 Ramsey up a little bit. 767 00:27:00,860 --> 00:27:05,860 Come on, don't get sloppy now. 768 00:27:05,860 --> 00:27:06,860 A little careless. 769 00:27:06,860 --> 00:27:07,860 Dope those plays. 770 00:27:07,860 --> 00:27:08,860 Result of carelessness. 771 00:27:08,860 --> 00:27:09,860 Hollins to Walton. 772

all. 780 00:27:17,860 --> 00:27:18,860 No. 781 00:27:18,860 --> 00:27:19,860 We got a whistle and a foul. 782 00:27:19,860 --> 00:27:24,860 I think they're going to call it a half court on Lionel Hollins. 783 00:27:24,860 --> 00:27:25,860 I'm not sure. 784 00:27:25,860 --> 00:27:28,860 Let's see what they are going to call him out there. 785 00:27:28,860 --> 00:27:31,860 They did. 786 00:27:31,860 --> 00:27:32,860 Lionel Hollins. 787 00:27:32,860 --> 00:27:33,860 You're right, Ben. 788 00:27:33,860 --> 00:27:34,860 60-38. 789 00:27:34,860 --> 00:27:36,860 Denver will play the clock down. 790 00:27:36,860 --> 00:27:38,860 It's down to 10-9-8. 791 00:27:38,860 --> 00:27:41,860 Price, Willie Wise, Wise leans in. 792 00:27:41,860 --> 00:27:44,860 He traveled with five seconds to go. 793 00:27:44,860 --> 00:27:45,860 And the Blazers get it back. 794 00:27:45,860 --> 00:27:48,860 Same five seconds they had at the end of the first quarter. 795 00:27:48,860 --> 00:27:51,860 Let's see if what Hollins can duplicate his feet. 796 00:27:51,860 --> 00:27:52,860 And the crowd knows it. 797 00:27:52,860 --> 00:27:53,860 And they're hollering. 798 00:27:53,860 --> 00:27:54,860 Give it to the train. 799 00:27:54,860 --> 00:27:55,860 Give it to the train. 800 00:27:55,860 --> 00:27:56,860 Let's see. 801 00:27:56,860 --> 00:27:57,860 The little train that could. 802 00:27:57,860 --> 00:27:58,860 I know I can. 803 00:27:58,860 --> 00:27:59,860 I know I can. 804 00:27:59,860 --> 00:28:00,860 I know I can. 805 00:28:00,860 --> 00:28:01,860 And bam. 806 00:28:01,860 --> 00:28:05,860 Hollins is going to have to work hard over to the quick line. 807 00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:06,860 Three, two, there it goes. 808 00:28:06,860 --> 00:28:07,860 Oh, to the right. 809 00:28:07,860 --> 00:28:08,860 Almost. 810 00:28:08,860 --> 00:28:11,860 It had the distance, but it was offline a little bit. 811 00:28:11,860 --> 00:28:12,860 The half is over. 812 00:28:12,860 --> 00:28:16,860 And the score with everybody up on their feet. 813 00:28:16,860 --> 00:28:17,860 Uh-oh, wait a minute. 814 00:28:17,860 --> 00:28:20,860 Now Willie Wise and Larry Steele grab one another. 815 00:28:20,860 --> 00:28:25,860 And Jack Ramsey and Jack Madden run across and break it up. 816 00:28:25,860 --> 00:28:28,860 Willie Wise is upset at Larry Steele for something. 817 00:28:28,860 --> 00:28:29,860 I don't know what it is. 818 00:28:29,860 --> 00:28:33,860 Willie Wise is upset at the fact that his team is down 17 points. 819 00:28:33,860 --> 00:28:35,860 That's what Willie Wise is upset about. 820 00:28:35,860 --> 00:28:37,860 He just happened to pick Larry Steele to take it out on. 821 00:28:37,860 --> 00:28:41,860 And Jack Ramsey immediately was starting to go off the floor 822 00:28:41,860 --> 00:28:45,860 and saw it out of the corner of his eye or rushed in and broke it up very quickly. 823 00:28:45,860 --> 00:28:46,860 Everything is all right. 824 00:28:46,860 --> 00:28:47,860 Now we can give the break. 825 00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:49,860 We are at halftime. 826 00:28:49,860 --> 00:28:51,860 Portland leading 62 to 45. 827 00:28:51,860 --> 00:28:52,860 Action will continue. 828 00:28:52,860 --> 00:28:56,860 I don't like what I see offensively though, Bill. 829 00:28:56,860 --> 00:29:00,860 They're running around outside again instead of making penetration to the basket. 830 00:29:00,860 --> 00:29:03,860 Long pass down the floor to Paul Silas back out to Mac Calvin. 831 00:29:03,860 --> 00:29:05,860 To David Thompson from the circle. 832 00:29:05,860 --> 00:29:06,860 No good. 833 00:29:06,860 --> 00:29:08,860 Walton cleans the board like a chimney sweep. 834 00:29:08,860 --> 00:29:10,860 Head to Hollins down the floor to Grossov. 835 00:29:10,860 --> 00:29:11,860 Two. 836 00:29:11,860 --> 00:29:12,860 It doesn't go to Blake. 837 00:29:12,860 --> 00:29:14,860 Silas for rebound. 838 00:29:14,860 --> 00:29:16,860 Good shot here right down in a good play. 839

00:42:05,900 --> 00:42:08,360 Most of the fans are on the bench, they're getting a rest. 1004 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,540 Neal, Steele from the far corner. 1005 00:42:10,540 --> 00:42:11,760 George, no good. 1006 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:12,840 Rebound, who's got it? 1007 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,400 In traffic, it bounced off Teddy McClain 1008 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:16,920 as he collided with Larry Steele 1009 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:17,760 and were fighting for the ball 1010 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,200 and went out of bounds off Teddy McClain. 1011 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,920 Denver player, Blazers get the ball back in front court. 1012 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,320 11, 43 remaining to be played in the game. 1013 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,240 Hollins did bounce it about, passed to Neal. 1014 00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:27,400 Back to Lionel Hollins, 1015 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:28,400 works the ball around the corner, 1016 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,560 the right side, put it on the floor for Larry Steele. 1017 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,200 Bounce passed to Neal, drives on, 1018 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,320 Stilas, he's fouled on the dribble drive. 1019 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,080 Stilas picks up the foul. 1020 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,760 You bet, he did the same thing that Lloyd did to him earlier 1021 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,680 and he reached across, trying to stop the drive 1022 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:41,720 and Lloyd Neal beat him to the hoop. 1023 00:42:41,720 --> 00:42:43,720 Lloyd Neal has done a great job, Bill, coming in the game. 1024 00:42:43,720 --> 00:42:46,600 He has helped him to keep the game going 1025 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,680 and he's been getting that ball off that defensive board 1026 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,080 and getting that break going without Bill 1027 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,720 but it being in there that's making a difference. 1028 00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:57,040 Blazers lead by 24, they get the ball back now, it's 88-64. 1029 00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:58,360 That was the score at the end of three. 1030 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,000 Nobody scored that far in the fourth and final period. 1031 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,600 Hollins to Neal, other guy, 1032 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,360 ball exchange, Hollins back to Neal. 1033 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,600 Bounce passed, Gilliam, eight foot to the floor. 1034 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,880 Nothing but air, boy, he had Marvin Webster all over 1035 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,240 and the only thing he could do is throw it up, which he did. 1036 00:43:11,240 --> 00:43:12,960 There's a error passed to Thompson, 1037 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,240 intercepted by Steele, 1038 00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:16,200 Hollins, Steele, works the ball on the right side. 1039 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:17,640 Now to Hollins, they set it up. 1040 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,440 In the middle, Neal, pump, shoot. 1041 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,200 Oh, he doesn't get it, good play. 1042 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:22,240 Marvin Webster, the rebound, 1043 00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:23,680 oops, we got a loose ball found. 1044 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:24,520 Yeah, Robin Jones. 1045 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,080 Robin Jones was right there, yep. 1046 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:28,960 I tell you, who made that play possible 1047 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,120 and Bill, it was hard to see it. 1048 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,280 The berm, Gilliam, tipped to it up behind McClain 1049 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:35,720 and tipped that ball out of his hands 1050 00:43:35,720 --> 00:43:37,800 and Larry Steele was right there to get the tipped ball. 1051 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,640 Denver brings the ball back up the floor. 1052 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,520 McClain, Paul Thomas, dropped the ball. 1053 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,280 Over for David Thompson, tipped away by Lionel Hollins 1054 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:45,760 and Lionel tipped it out of bounds. 1055 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,560 Good effort, it was right in front of him. 1056 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,240 Jack Madden saved one of his few good calls tonight. 1057 00:43:50,240 --> 00:43:51,640 Oh, man, no, me. 1058 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,280 You can say that, you might as well say that. 1059 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:54,760 He's feeling about three feet away. 1060 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,560 Hey, Gingham, Wise, I don't care if he does anyway. 1061 00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,320 McClain, David Thompson, they bring David with the ball. 1062 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,520 Now to Webster, in the circle, into the far corner, 1063 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,360 McClain, right side, he lets it fly, iron, that's all. 1064 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:06,800 Tipped up by Silas, no good. 1065 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,640 Woody Wise with the ball, rolls away from everybody. 1066 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,920 Hollins, three on two, Hollins, Gilliam waits back. 1067 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,600 Robin Jones, now to Gilliam. 1068 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,360 Here's the shot from the corner. 1069 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:17,480 Somebody got a hand on it. 1070 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:18,960 Woody Wise did. 1071 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,200 West, coming to ball to McClain, 1072 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:21,400 down the ball to the right side. 1073 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,840 He drives, stops, shoots, he doesn't get it. 1074 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,800 Great man, Marvin Webster, and he tipped it out of bounds. 1075 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,280 It'll be Portland's ball. 1076 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,120 Marvin is playing a pretty good game for him, Bill. 1077 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:31,800 He's hustling awful hard, and he's trying to keep 1078 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,680 that ball alive on the board. 1079 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,440 None of them have given up, but he's working out there 1080 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:36,280 harder than anybody. 1081 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,520 Hollins and Gilliam in the blazer back court. 1082 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:39,760 Herman works the ball to mid court, 1083 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:40,720 they're going left and right, 1084 00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:41,880 if he can visualize everything. 1085 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,440 Now Robin Jones, the postman, Webster on him. 1086 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,680 Brother man, man, turns around, dishes off to Gilliam, 1087 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,960 he drives right-handed hook, gonna be way short, 1088 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:49,800 no good. 1089 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:51,160 Webster, the rebound. 1090 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,000 Well, nobody scored in the third period, did. 1091 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,880 McClain, solid, he rolls to the hoop, 1092 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,320 he doesn't get the bucket, but he has fouled. 1093 00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:58,160 Yeah, well. 1094 00:44:58,160 --> 00:44:59,560 And it's Lionel Hollins. 1095 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,240 Yeah, he blocked him, he didn't take up a position 1096 00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:02,920 early enough, Bill, and he kept retreating with him, 1097 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,080 he should have just taken up a position and held it. 1098 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,400 10-17 remaining to be played in the fourth and final period. 1099 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,200 It's been a hectic, a gruesome, 1100 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:17,200 but fantastic three periods of basketball for the home folks. 1101 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,480 Johnny D is coming in for him, Gilliam is really, 1102 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,120 she had him taking three bad shots, 1103 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,360 he forced the ball up a little bit, his timing's off, 1104 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,160 and Johnny D is having such a great game, 1105 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:27,760 Jack's looking back in. 1106 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,320 Portland shot 55% in the third period, 10 for 18, 1107 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,520 and Denver was 8 for 22. 1108 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,480 Robin Jones goes out as well. 1109 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:40,520 Walton Neal, Bob Gross with Hollins and Johnny Davis, 1110 00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,240 this ball, Silas goes to the free throw line. 1111 00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:44,800 Jack did this, I think, for one reason, 1112 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,680 to put Bill back in there, to keep any momentum 1113 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:47,720 from coming on the part of Denver 1114 00:45:47,720 --> 00:45:49,600 to really get him down in the hole. 1115 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,600 Silas misses the first free throw attempt, 1116 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:56,080 the great veteran that he is, is really upset right now. 1117 00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,320 Second free throw, off the side of his hand, no good, 1118 00:45:58,320 --> 00:45:59,480 he missed them both. 1119 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,600 Rebound, Walton missed, they are 20 for 41 1120 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:03,880 at the free throw line, Denver. 1121 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:05,200 Davis, Davis drives underneath, 1122 00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,600 Lloyd Neal put it up, blocked, no foul, 1123 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:11,080 Webster, picked off by Silas, by the Mac Calvin, 1124 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:12,840 Lickety Brindle down, up low to the left side, 1125 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,840 Calvin holds it up, down it whips it around the horn 1126 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,880 to the right side, David Thompson leans into a shot, 1127 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:19,240 foul, Bobby Gross. 1128 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,360 He did, he got him on the arm, David Thompson 1129 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,720 had a good fake, he got both Bob Gross and Bill up in the air, 1130 00:46:25,720 --> 00:46:27,080 Bill got a piece of the ball, 1131 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:28,440 but the foul was on Bobby Gross. 1132 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,880 Jack Ramsey, motioning after Bobby Gross, 1133 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,360 they stay in your feet, they stay in your feet. 1134 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,160 So Bob Gross picked up his fifth personal foul, 1135 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,120 and David Thompson will go to the free throw line. 1136 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,480 Thompson in the ball game has been held to 14 points 1137 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:48,480 in this game, he now has 15, 88-65. 1138 00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,720 Thompson's second free throw. 1139 00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:56,840 Boy, they have a hard time with that free throw line. 1140 00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:01,840 Wow, 88-65 is the tour, Portland out in front, 1141 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,480 Davis at mid-court, drives on Jimmy Fife, 1142 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,120 makes bounce pass to Hollins right side, 1143 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:07,680 down to Bobby Gross, he's gonna load a wall, 1144 00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,040 it's all back in, wait, Neal drives around, 1145 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:11,880 it will go to the floor. 1146 00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,320 He gave Neal Rockinshire a move, a little hesitation, 1147 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:15,920 the defense hesitated for a second, 1148 00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:17,200 he went right on by him. 1149 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:21,880 90-65 is the score, Portland out in front. 1150 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:23,280 Duggars come back down the floor, 1151 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:24,720 we got a whistle and a foul. 1152 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,120 Now we have a little argument all the way from the ball 1153 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:35,960 to the whistle and the wall, 1154 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,800 I don't know what that was all about. 1155 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:38,640 Well, it feels good to argue, 1156 00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:39,840 Isle came down and just kept him in the middle of the back 1157 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:41,240 and there was no call for it, Bill says, 1158 00:47:41,240 --> 00:47:42,880 hey, what are you doing? 1159 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,080 You don't play the game. 1160 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:49,520 Foul is on Johnny Davis. 1161 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,880 His third, plays his 14th foul, 1162 00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,480 so Bobby Jones will inbound mid-enter 1163 00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,560 in front of Calvin around the Isle thick. 1164 00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,720 Fake, this got blocked by Johnny Davis, 1165 00:47:59,720 --> 00:48:01,400 so Calvin got it back again. 1166 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,040 Touch to the left side, his back is gone, 1167 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,280 picked away, Hollins, back to Hollins, 1168 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:07,960 down the floor to the left side, 1169 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,720 Johnny Davis, oh, they're everywhere tonight. 1170 00:48:10,720 --> 00:48:11,920 Over to Hollins for Johnny Davis, 1171 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,280 drives the middle stop, free for the line, 1172 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,200 couple of good, but we have a whistle before he got it away. 1173 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,080 That's Calvin reaching in, 1174 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,800 and he got him before the shot was on its way. 1175 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:26,440 Second team foul for Denver, 1176 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,120 Blazers get it back, clock reset the 24-9, 1177 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,240 13 to go in the game, this Monday night. 1178 00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:35,480 Sixth game of this series, Blazers lead 90 to 65. 1179 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:36,800 Finally working to Walden, high post, 1180 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:38,040 man on the right side, to Davis, 1181 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,720 fake from a handoff, goes to the baseline, 1182 00:48:39,720 --> 00:48:43,400 his jumper, iron, good shot, wouldn't save David Thompson. 1183 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,200 The rebound, brings the ball up the floor. 1184 00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:46,480 David at mid-point, leads for the air 1185 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:47,680 for the back, Calvin on the left corner, 1186 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,880 Calvin left the fly, he's got it, back Calvin, 1187 00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:51,760 a little fade away into the seat. 1188 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,760 It's now 90 to 67. 1189 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,720 Denver making a little spurt here. 1190 00:48:55,720 --> 00:48:57,280 Johnny Davis, sends over to mid-point line, 1191 00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,160 Blazers moving to left to right now. 1192 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,240 Bounce pass, Neal gets away from Bobby Jones, 1193 00:49:02,240 --> 00:49:05,000 dishes over for Holland, cross-court, 1194 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:10,000 Davis, throws, fake, Walden jumper, flat, it's there. 1195 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,520 Wow, big hope, that could be the nail right there, Bill. 1196 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,440 25-point lead, 8.30 to go, 1197 00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,640 that could be the one that does the trick. 1198 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,120 Bill Walden getting the last two, down the floor, 1199 00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:22,960 Denver, it's to Lindu, Bobby Jones, 1200 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,800 the right-handed hook, off the glass and in, Bobby Jones. 1201 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,080 92-69 is the score. 1202 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,200 Blazers go back the other way. 1203 00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,440 They'll get a weak press, their next game will be on Friday, 1204 00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,800 either against Los Angeles or San Francisco. 1205 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,240 Neal around the wall, take over the top of the key, 1206 00:49:37,240 --> 00:49:38,800 they hand over to Johnny Davis. 1207 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,200 Davis drives, finds room, dishes off the clothes, 1208 00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,000 12-footer, not gonna be any good. 1209 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:44,320 Short off the front of the iron, 1210 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,280 Bobby Jones, the rebound, a fight down the floor 1211 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,000 to Mac Calvin, Calvin drives off the back. 1212 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:48,840 Oh, there's the foul! 1213 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,160 Good play, a line on Holland, good play. 1214 00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:52,240 He got down in front of him, 1215 00:49:52,240 --> 00:49:53,720 Mac Calvin tried to get around him, 1216 00:49:53,720 --> 00:49:54,560 but he didn't make it. 1217 00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:55,640 Soccer, soccer? 1218 00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:56,480 Soccer? 1219 00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:57,320 Yeah. 1220 00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,160 And all friends have fouled on Mac Calvin. 1221 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:01,000 Soccer, yeah. 1222 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,560 Blazers get the ball in back towards him. 1223 00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:06,200 John Connery, that was a good play by the train. 1224 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,680 It is 92-69, Portland, 7-50 remaining to be played 1225 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:10,520 in the game. 1226 00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,200 Davis from Holland, quickly down the floor, 1227 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,280 left side, swing it right, Davis big flag, 1228 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,560 goes left, still with the ball, fights all over him, 1229 00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,920 left his arm away, crowd reacts, over the gross, 1230 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:21,600 Neal from the circle, swat! 1231 00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:22,440 It's there! 1232 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:23,280 It's there, it's there. 1233 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,080 Well there goes Roy Neal, he's coming and done a big job, 1234 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,760 both defensively and narratively, from the offense. 1235 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,520 Jimmy Price, Denver, Bobby Jones, 1236 00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,040 backs in as the Calvin, 1237 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,160 train Calvin hits from the right side. 1238 00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,120 Now Walton quickly inbound to Johnny Davis, 1239 00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:39,600 cross court pass to Lionel Holland, 1240 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,120 7-20 in the books to go, 1241 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:42,880 others on the center drive on the right front court, 1242 00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,640 Jimmy Price picks him up there, the game. 1243 00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:46,480 Will it all be over? 1244 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:47,320 Over to Walton. 1245 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,480 Kicked away from Bill, from behind by Dan, 1246 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,200 as Blazers will get the ball back. 1247 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,480 I don't believe Denver was the timeout, they are. 1248 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,720 Larry Brown calling for a timeout. 1249 00:50:57,720 --> 00:51:01,080 7-15 exactly, remaining to be played. 1250 00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:02,480 In the fourth and final period, 1251 00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:03,920 as the score reads at this point, 1252 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,360 Portland 94, Denver 71, 1253 00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,240 action will continue in just a moment. 1254 00:51:09,240 --> 00:51:12,080 And Johnny Davis takes the floor. 1255 00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:13,920 It'll be Portland's ball. 1256 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,920 Thompson, Issel, Bobby Jones, Jimmy Price, 1257 00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,760 and Mac Calvin in there for the Denver Nuggets. 1258 00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,080 They were looking for Denver Nuggets gold, 1259 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:23,920 but they're not gonna get it apparently. 1260 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:25,960 Holland, Bill Walton, Walton meeting low close, 1261 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,280 now he's gonna drive initial dishes off to Holland, 1262 00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,880 Dibble, pump, shoot, not gonna get it, 1263 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:32,520 he almost made it, ha ha ha. 1264 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:34,400 Pressure bucket, but he's fouled. 1265 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:35,800 Mac Calvin, I'll tell you Bill, 1266 00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:37,880 I'm surprised that Bill still has, 1267 00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,160 that Jack still has Bill Walton in there. 1268 00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:41,600 I would think that he'd be pulling him out here 1269 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,880 pretty quick, putting Robin Jones in, 1270 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:45,720 because he still won't take a chance on an injury, 1271 00:51:45,720 --> 00:51:47,560 he needs to give Bill as much rest as he can. 1272 00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,080 Holland's first free throw in this case is not good. 1273 00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:54,120 The final of the ball game has 19 points, six after one, 1274 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:54,960 10 at the half. 1275 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,560 Little Monty Powell gonna get some play on time 1276 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,080 in a playoff for the first time. 1277 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:01,880 Holland misses both free throws. 1278 00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:05,400 Looks like Larry Brown might be throwing in the towel. 1279 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,720 Yes, I, well I think that, you know. 1280 00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:10,040 Issel underneath Bobby Jones, pressured by Neal, 1281 00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:11,960 but Bobby Jones muscles his way underneath 1282 00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,280 and gets the bucket, good play. 1283 00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,840 94-73, 6.50 to go in the game. 1284 00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,120 Holland's work is way low, pumps a five footer, 1285 00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:21,280 way short, no good. 1286 00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:22,240 Rebound, who's got it? 1287 00:52:22,240 --> 00:52:24,240 Walton couldn't hang on to it. 1288 00:52:24,240 --> 00:52:26,240 Picked off by Cowan, down a foot at Thompson, 1289 00:52:26,240 --> 00:52:28,240 break away and David stuffs that baby. 1290 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,720 Now throws, ball in, bounded back towards Johnny Davis. 1291 00:52:32,720 --> 00:52:34,000 They're gonna have some substitutions 1292 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,120 and we're gonna station break in momentarily. 1293 00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:37,760 Johnny Davis works up on the right front court, 1294 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,040 bounce pass to Walton, Issel behind him. 1295 00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:41,720 Walton takes a look, rolls around, 1296 00:52:41,720 --> 00:52:43,040 goes in front of the free throw line, 1297 00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:44,880 double pump, shoots short up the front of him, 1298 00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,240 no good, offensive rebound, Neal, 1299 00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:49,760 he is hammered, no foul, my word. 1300 00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:51,360 Race brings the ball up the floor, 1301 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,080 over for Thompson and he goes, 1302 00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:54,400 who's steps it away? 1303 00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:55,960 Takes the ball away from David Thompson, 1304 00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:57,080 back to Johnny Davis. 1305 00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,440 Davis drives around, Calvin dishes off to Holland, 1306 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,560 there's the jumper, off the bucket, no good. 1307 00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,440 Rebound, Bobby Jones, tender. 1308 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,400 Wipes the ball ahead, a softball style to Jimmy Price. 1309 00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,280 He goes one end of the floor to the other, 1310 00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:12,520 goes for the hoop, his shot, what? 1311 00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,320 Price is on the floor, sitting there, 1312 00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,000 rolls it back to Calvin, his jumper, no good, 1313 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,280 and Lionel Holland gets the rebound 1314 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,640 and Ramsey is gonna call for a timeout. 1315 00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:22,720 Good time to do it, sir. 1316 00:53:22,720 --> 00:53:23,880 They're getting a little bit tired, 1317 00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:25,000 lackadaisical out there. 1318 00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:26,960 That time the ball bounced off to Jim Price, 1319 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:28,320 he was sitting on the floor 1320 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,520 and he caught it sitting on the floor for a rebound. 1321 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,120 We have a timeout, maybe the last one. 1322 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,360 5.51 remaining to be played in the game. 1323 00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,960 The score reads Portland 94, Denver 75. 1324 00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:40,280 I don't care about that, Bill, 1325 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:41,680 I don't wanna get lackadaisical. 1326 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,280 Carol's been there doing that right now, 1327 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:44,920 they've gotta remember this game isn't over, 1328 00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:46,000 you never know in this league

ball. 1332 00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,520 What by Wolfen at the end. 1333 00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,560 Ahead to Johnny Davis to Holland, 1334 00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:56,160 tries to dish off the steal, 1335 00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,280 batted away McClain, Holland gets it again, 1336 00:53:58,280 --> 00:53:59,120 Johnny Davis. 1337 00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,400 Big hoop, Bill, that's a big hoop. 1338 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,080 Johnny Davis, 21 points in the ball game, 1339 00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,320 he will be our post-game guest tonight. 1340 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,760 Johnny Davis, who got a starting assignment tonight. 1341 00:54:12,240 --> 00:54:15,120 Monty Tau, left corner, drives in the middle, 1342 00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,360 Marvin Webster, pump, shoot, 1343 00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:18,560 got it from the left side. 1344 00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:19,600 Good play by Monty Tau, 1345 00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,320 went in through Bill Walton to him 1346 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:22,960 and laid the ball off to Marvin Webster. 1347 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:23,960 Holland's quickly the other way, 1348 00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,120 finds room and he goes, drives, 1349 00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:30,720 and he was sandwiched in as he got underneath the twine. 1350 00:54:30,720 --> 00:54:33,560 It's on one side, Monty Tau and McClain down there 1351 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,120 and he dribbles right out of bounds. 1352 00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,800 Not a hard play, when you got Issa and the racer down there, 1353 00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,800 Marvin Webster, you don't try to take the ball to the board, 1354 00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,160 you back out and wait for help. 1355 00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,080 Monty Tau, this wing of the left to David Thompson, 1356 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:44,680 steal on him, David makes the move, 1357 00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:46,360 drives the middle underneath, 1358 00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:47,880 Issa, follow the ball, got it again, 1359 00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:49,760 turns around, shoots, nothing but air. 1360 00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,000 Came to the far side of the rim to Maurice Lucas. 1361 00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,040 One hand, the ball, it's mixed towards Johnny Davis, 1362 00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:55,600 he steps over to the mid-quick line, 1363 00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,040 less than four minutes to go on the game. 1364 00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,520 96-79 Portland, Davis in the left front court, 1365 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,680 to Luke, field, left side, Luke cuts through, 1366 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,600 Webster all over, mounted, Johnny Davis, 1367 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,040 Davis drives, pump, shoots over Monty Tau, 1368 00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,000 iron, no good, Leeper, high for the rebound, 1369 00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:12,600 Marvin Webster, out the pass, 1370 00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:14,600 from Monty Tau, 1371 00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,080 Wynall Hyde over there, 1372 00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:18,560 and the ball went right through him. 1373 00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:20,320 You can't believe it, he thought he was a wicket 1374 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,600 in a game of croquet, that thing went right through his legs, 1375 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,240 he couldn't believe it, he had the thing caught, 1376 00:55:24,240 --> 00:55:25,720 it went right through there. 1377 00:55:25,720 --> 00:55:27,360 96-81 Portland. 1378 00:55:29,720 --> 00:55:32,840 Uh-oh, now Monty Tau and Wynall Holland, 1379 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,280 throw a couple of punches at one another, 1380 00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,800 Monty Tau says, okay, okay, 1381 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:41,920 Wynall is being restrained, 1382 00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:43,800 now Marvin Webster is also being restrained 1383 00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:45,880 by his coach, Larry Brown, 1384 00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,480 Monty Tau I think says, I'm sorry, really, 1385 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:52,120 and Wynall Holland, just in the heat of battle, that's all. 1386 00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,000 It's going to be Denver's ball, there'll be no foul. 1387 00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:57,760 Webster is really upset, 1388 00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,560 but Darrell Garrison says, no, there's no foul, 1389 00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,000 nothing will happen, Larry Brown, 1390 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,080 still out on the floor, 1391 00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:04,160 Larry's talking to the guys, 1392 00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:05,480 he said, hey guys, let's be cool, 1393 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,000 let's do the game like that. 1394 00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:09,240 Look, Monty looked kinda funny, 1395 00:56:09,240 --> 00:56:10,840 swinging at Wynall Holland, 1396 00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,880 he's swinging uphill, he's so much smaller than Wynall, 1397 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:15,000 but he wasn't gonna take any gubs, 1398 00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:16,480 because you can't bully me, you big guy. 1399 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:17,800 That's right, Darrell Garrison probably said, 1400 00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:19,760 I'm not gonna call a foul on you, Monty, 1401 00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:20,760 not gonna be doing any good now, 1402 00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:21,960 Monty brings the ball up the floor, 1403 00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:23,880 now to Webster, rolls around to Walton, 1404 00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,200 then he goes, shoots, he scores! 1405 00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,040 Good play by Marvin Webster. 1406 00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:31,280 Now it's 96-83, folks. 1407 00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,200 Back to that 17 point number again. 1408 00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:38,240 Holland, Lucas to the right side, 1409 00:56:38,240 --> 00:56:40,200 underneath Walton, Alley-U puts it up, 1410 00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,120 no, he traveled with the ball, Bill Walton. 1411 00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:48,800 Three minutes, five seconds remaining to be played. 1412 00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:50,400 Now Larry Brown of the Denver Nuggets, 1413 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,440 they think they have a little light. 1414 00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,160 The Blazer benched down to our left, 1415 00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,560 it's only a 13 point lead. 1416 00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:58,320 Less than three minutes to go now. 1417 00:56:58,320 --> 00:56:59,720 David Thompson to the left of the key, 1418 00:56:59,720 --> 00:57:02,600 steal on a bounce pass from McLean all alone. 1419 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,960 Ramsey, I believe, gonna call for a timeout, 1420 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,160 as Hollins puts the ball over to McThorpe Line, 1421 00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,000 takes the ball over to McThorpe Line, 1422 00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:10,280 there comes the timeout. 1423 00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,120 Now Hollins and Monty Pals got to do their thing again. 1424 00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,520 And that was broken up. 1425 00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:20,240 So this is an extra timeout network 1426 00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:21,440 and we're gonna send it your way 1427 00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,000 and the crowd is mumbling here 1428 00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:24,800 because this game is not over. 1429 00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,160 We have 2.47 remaining to be played in the game. 1430 00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:30,440 The score reads Portland 96, the Denver Nuggets 85. 1431 00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:35,480 Hollins, Lucas, Walton, steal and Johnny Davis. 1432 00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:38,080 Davis woman found it, front court across the way. 1433 00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:39,760 Davis with the ball high over his head. 1434 00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:41,920 Now to Lionel Hollins, breaks out of the back. 1435 00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:43,120 Lionel with the ball on the left side, 1436 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:44,480 with the ball to Paul to Lucas. 1437 00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,240 Take a look, over for steals. 1438 00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:47,680 They swing it right to Johnny Davis. 1439 00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,680 Now to Lucas, in traffic, double pump, shoes, uh-uh, 1440 00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:51,520 he's fouled. 1441 00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,480 Walton right there, grabs it and stuffs it, 1442 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:58,480 but however, Lucas was hammered by Marlon Webster. 1443 00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:00,360 First team foul, two-shot foul. 1444 00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,760 Good play, they ran, they ran Luke inside like they did 1445 00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:07,440 during that first game, they went back in Denver. 1446 00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,200 They ran that double screen, ran him inside 1447 00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,960 where he got the ball low and took the shot over. 1448 00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,240 Lucas up the line for a pair, Bobby Jones. 1449 00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,440 Look, first free throw is good. 1450 00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:22,480 He's got 12 points in the ball game tonight, Maurice Lucas. 1451 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:24,280 And he's playing with four personal fouls 1452 00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,160 and has been for some time. 1453 00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:29,560 So has Walton, as a matter of fact, Lucas with one more. 1454 00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:32,600 It's more quiet at the Western front, he misses that. 1455 00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,640 Rebound, David Thompson, looks like he stepped out of bounds 1456 00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:36,840 but he hung in there. 1457 00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:38,880 The ball to Monty Powell, long pass down the floor 1458 00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:41,240 to Bobby Jones, works the ball to the left front court. 1459 00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,960 Now they get it inside, Webster back out to Monty Powell, 1460 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,160 slips away, Johnny Davis, breakaway. 1461 00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:47,000 That's it. 1462 00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:47,920 That's it. 1463 00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:53,080 Good play right there, that's the one that's gonna 1464 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:54,320 make a difference now. 1465 00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:59,320 Johnny Davis with a steal and a drive and a layup all the way. 1466 00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:01,560 Denver coming back down the floor. 1467 00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:04,720 Yeah, look at the foul on Johnny Davis, 1468 00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:06,560 wouldn't you know it, at the other end of the floor. 1469 00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:09,120 I told him on the block, the plane's gonna go to two-two. 1470 00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:10,440 He's on the way to the hoop. 1471 00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:13,320 Johnny had pretty good position but who's gonna call, 1472 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,920 the fixer can determine whether he's split in front of him 1473 00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:17,160 when he was in the air, that type of thing. 1474 00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:18,840 And of course they're gonna try to give Denver a break 1475 00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:20,360 not to make him look too bad coming down here 1476 00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:21,200 in the closing minutes. 1477 00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:23,080 But with two minutes and 10 seconds, 1478 00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,720 the left Portland is absolutely crumbled here. 1479 00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:27,000 They've got the ball game won. 1480 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,120 As a little side note, this is the Blazers' 1481 00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:33,520 99th game of the year, including preseason, 1482 00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:36,040 the regular season and playoffs. 1483 00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,840 Larry Steele will come out and Bob Gross will come in. 1484 00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:42,360 Bobby's playing with five personal fouls. 1485 00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:44,720 Johnny Davis now has picked up his first personal foul. 1486 00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,040 McClain's first free throw is good. 1487 00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:48,920 99 to 86 is the score. 1488 00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:55,920 McClain can make it 99 to 87 and he does, 99 to 87. 1489 00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:00,400 Blazers being pressured in the backcourt, 1490 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:01,760 they're gonna have to watch it. 1491 01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,480 Johnny Davis, Bobby Gross, he works the ball 1492 01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,760 over to the quick line, throws into the far right hand 1493 01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:08,600 corner to Lucas, back at the body gross. 1494 01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:10,480 Less than two minutes to go in the game. 1495 01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,760 Now the crowd comes alive again. 1496 01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:14,640 Over the line of holes in the left front court, 1497 01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:15,640 they're gonna play the clock down. 1498 01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:16,680 They're gonna go to Walton. 1499 01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:19,080 Walton turns around, makes a move on to Webster, 1500 01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:20,880 turns around, hook shot off the glass. 1501 01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,080 So good, Webster, the rebound. 1502 01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:24,200 Body Gross fouls out. 1503 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:26,440 And Bobby Gross with a loose ball foul, 1504 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:28,000 fouls out of the ball game. 1505 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,520 And Jack Ramsey will have to go to the bench. 1506 01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:31,920 Larry Steele back in again. 1507 01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,480 And Larry Steele does come in. 1508 01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:35,880 Bobby Gross will come out. 1509 01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:39,760 With 1.46 remaining to be played. 1510 01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:46,080 And members, they have yet to give up. 1511 01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,200 Titans, Gatchens, Huggins and Clones 1512 01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:51,000 because this has been some kind of sensational 1513 01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:52,960 playoff series in the NBA. 1514 01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:56,760 Between these two very, very fine basketball teams. 1515 01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:59,000 Marvin Webster at the line, the crowd roars 1516 01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,760 and the free throw is good by the human eraser. 1517 01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:04,080 Marvin in the ball game has the 11 points. 1518 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:08,280 Webster shooting 75% of the line in this series. 1519 01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,040 Averaging about four points. 1520 01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:12,640 Second free throw not good. 1521 01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:14,400 Walton takes the ball off the iron. 1522 01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,480 Big 11 point difference is back again 1523 01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,760 and it's not too much with a minute and 40 seconds 1524 01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:19,600 they can get it back. 1525 01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:21,320 Johnny Davidson, the left front court. 1526 01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:23,080 Drive through everybody, handles the ball. 1527 01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:24,760 All of the Globetrotters back
