is with you from Miami and Swaggy P. Nick Young at the helm of the LA Riot. And there is the glove. I always like the young guys pit and the old guys pit. A little very different, right? I was thinking today, Reggie, Gary Peyton, if Nick Young talked any trash Oh. Oh, no. And when they played, if they played at the same time, would have just eviscerated. Yeah. No. That would have been a no-go. And by the way, Gary Pman was one of the biggest trash talkers of all time, so he can hold his own.
These teams been a thriller last year, week nine in Englewood. Jordan Crawford the game winner then and scores there for LA. They needed to win by four LS. Billy Preston misses and Boston with Stevens, Carlin Green, and Jeremy Fargo. Two teams that match up very well with each other. Both need a win. Oo, barely moved. And a couple of guys bite. Once again, you're establishing. Crawford last week in his hometown of Detroit. Wasn't a good game for LA, though. They lost 51-3 to the Dallas Power. Step back from 18. Good for Jordan Crawford.
He's got the first foot back. No good. Parle from Garland Green. Yeah, Park all for two on these last two possessions. Howard fires a corner three, nails it for LA. There you go. Or if you're going to get back in it, if you're going to make them, go ahead and shoot a big fella. 74 LA Riot. Fargo crossing over Preston. Jeremy Fargo steps and can't finish it. Stevens, that's good. Fargo is a problem. He can score from the outside. He's I'm always amazed when I was a player, I had the same problem, right?
The game is easy. Players make the game tough. So, you get one shot for three from the top of the arc, right? And smartly Gary Payeyton gets Stevens out of there and Quincy Miller in with Stevens having two fouls. Three is good for Jeremy Fargo. And that's that's a killer foul. Big guys become guards. Especially this day and age, certainly in the worldwide game. Yep. Allen off the screen, drills the three. Nice shot in rhythm. Third year for Chris Allen in the big three last year with the triplets. Two years ago with the enemies. Green drives and floats it out for Nixon.
Knocks down the corner tray. And the Bullhogs by two. 1210 in the early going. Very evenly matched teams when it comes to the way they play. Long two for Allen. And we're tied up. Strong, good shooting guards. Right. When you think about the way they play, Allen takes the shots he's supposed to take. You get a little bit of ball movement. See that to me that's a jack. Yeah. Allen feeling it but not there. Howard the rebound and finds a way. Chance at three for the Hall of Famer LA Championship and beyond.
New look in his second year in the big three. Allen fakes, steps back. Corner three is good for Chris Allen. They had some friends in the first row. Yeah. Know he had a chance. showing the fan of the Hurricanes here in Sunrise as Ray Nixon hits a three. By the way, our producer Jason Ross, Michigan grad, so we saw a lot of Glen Rice senior. Right. Everyone getting it, too. Well done, fellas. In and out on the putback. He played overseas quite a bit. Didn't play in college. Was slated to play at Kansas. Howard Banker missed.
Ray Nixon clears the three. Short Stevens battling weak side. He scores. Effort. All effort. This LA Boston meeting us. A little lastman standing field to it early on. Tied at 17. Crawford to the rim and a chance to three. Crawford's got such great speed. He's got live in the bonus. First of 25 gets us to the break and now it's 2417 as Crawford with the finish. Let him foul. Just back him down to you until he foul. Superman stumbles, flips to Allen. Trives to close out. THROWS IT UP. CAN'T HIT. HOWARD the rebound.
Halftime in Miami as Howard with the finish. But that's the way you want to play when you got Dwight Howard on the floor. You have to play the game that way. What a mix in the dump deflects to Stevens. Swarmed, gets free. Blocked by Preston, goes up and scores. Solid defense. He got switched off and did a great job with Steu with Stevens around the basket. The 110 extended run. Nixon ends it for Boston. This guy really shoot their lead. They got their lead by playing inside out. Howard jump shot. It's good. And Stevens with the lane whistle and the contact. And I'll tell you something else is important that Howard has made. I
think he's two for two. I mean two uh two for four right now. Yo with the answer from three. His second few weeks. And today he's made four. And there's a four-point shot. are second today. First in this game. Got to be careful of him. You got to watch him. Chris Allen short on a four-pointer. Pargo 21 fours in his career. WILL IT BE 22? YES. BACKTO BACK FOUR-POINT shots for the master Jeremy Fargo. There's your 80 run. Yeah, there you go. Allen for two. More traditional. It's good. It's pretty smooth. Allen's pretty smooth with his jumper. Then he's got the inside game. Nice to see.
Same spot again. PARK. THREE SHOTS. Three straight four-pointers. You got to love it. Yeah, because that's who I that's how I know him. Stevens rolls and slams it down. The hammer from Stevens and that's the attention you get when you make the outside shots. Find the role man. Emphatic Howard against Stevens. He's got to be careful. He's going to be put himself in foul jeopardy. Missed the rim. Pargo cleans it up for two. He has 22 points when you make the defending. Fargo, Crane, and Stevens. Howard with Crawford
and Preston for LA. Billy Preston step to his left. The three is good. And LA's back within three. It makes their game a little bit simpler because they can always throw the ball to the post. Slip to Stevens. Lays it in. Plus a foul and a chance at three for Deshawn Stevens. So, if you're watching the game and how it works, putting Dwight Howard in pick and roll is the advantage for the ball hogs because he's not going to be able to guard in pick and roll. 2018. I would think Barbosa is near the top of that list. Lost by Crawford. Here's Fargo for three. Nails another one. He's got 25 points.
Brett, act this out. He's just it's it's like a heat seeking missile, you know. He knows where he is on the floor. He wants the three, but he's also getting his assist. So, I mean, you know, he's that's the kind of player he is. Stevens has swiped. Howard lost it. Point game for Boston. I'm glad that he didn't call the referee didn't call that cuz he basically that was solid defense. A 26-5 run for the Bullhogs. Preston shakes free. Howard high low scores. Last year LA ended Boston season a heartbreaker for the Bullhogs. Some fresh blood. 38 lead for Boston.
The tough thing about the big three, your best teams are teams that can switch all three players. Crawford up and in as he dives to the deck. He really is good going to the basket, huh? He's got great timing. The slip. Stevens the finish. It's a twopoint needed for Boston win. Desperation time for LA. Preston shakes, steps out, fades over Stevens. They can win with two. Carlin Green drives, gets in the lane, banks it in.
BOSTON OVER LA. Redemption in Miami. All about the four-point shots. Nice move. Hesitate. And I like the fact that they took it to the basket. That gives them a better chance.
