It would be a great bit if I did that one time, and then my justification was that it was just for laughs.

Okay, here we go.

I'm with you live from Ball Arena, and fellas, it was an electric Ball Arena tonight.

For my money, one of the very best crowds of the year.

Really, really, really great crowd.

And I actually think that's super impressive, all things considered, especially coming after that Memphis loss, all the eggs they've laid at home.

The crowd was just ready to go tonight.

At one point, Jamal Murray mentioned that in his presser, that he was kind of proud that they came back and put forth that kind of effort in front of this crowd.

So it was definitely that kind of symbiotic relationship where you want

both kind of halves responding to each other throughout the night.

So really, really great ball arena crowd.

When Tim Hardaway Jr.

hit that 1-3, and I think you guys probably know which one I'm talking about, forced a timeout, you know, top three loudest moment in this arena this season, I would say.

So some vibes in here for sure, and I want to shout the fans out right off the bat.

And I'll take you guys into the locker room.

David Adleman really liked their defensive intensity in that fourth quarter, thought that they actually were able to speed the Raptors up as opposed to it being the other way around, which it certainly was in that third quarter.

He said at the end of the game, Aaron Gordon was tremendous defensively.

Big play there, guys, at the end where they actually did not switch.

They concede a lot of switches in these crunch times.

There was one where Murray hedged high, Gordon was able to recover, and it ends in Gordon blocking Scottie Barnes.
