Miami Heat Vs Brooklyn Nets | NBA 2k24 LIVE 🔴

NBA on 2K sports joined by Richard Jefferson and Greg Anthony I'm Kevin Harley David Aldridge is with us on the sidelines so the opening lineup for the heat the wingman it's hero and Butler then there's Terry rier then it's bam adabo and it's heith in at the four and for Brooklyn Dennis schruder is out there with Thomas then there's Nicholas Claxton then it's Mel Bridges and it's finny Smith in a the four spot Richard looking at this inter-conference Clash you can expect both teams to play hard here tonight yeah these conference games are so important especially when it comes to a rivalry like this both teams have had this one circled on their calendars for a while and now the fast break Bridges with the ball he dishes it to Thomas Miami grabs the miss here's roier first shot first B he's out of the blocks fast and that's a tough shot against some good defense Rosier though the athleticism to step up to the challenge on that one now here's shrer it's haed in by bam out of biome Butler against Bridges here's he Smith pass counts yeah going hard to the rag making a statement here early on yeah it's nice to see him be assertive instead of settling for a jump shot especially in the first quarter and it's shuder missing and here's roier he brings it up for the heat we always see Terry rier going all out don't we Greg to make an impact offensively Kevin I just love the way his offensive repertoire has evolved over the years this guy came came in as just a hard-nosed tough Defender but boy offensively his skill set and development on that end is off the CH here's Thomas Jimmy Butler making his last shot shot clock at five shoots over hero and again it's the Nets missing well some trips you get the shot you want it just doesn't fall I'd go back to him in that area on the floor they timed up the layup perfectly the D saw it develop and got there to bother the shot pass to finish three-pointer and the Nets Miss again he'd have gone three of four from the field to start out the game and it's Butler with the jam yeah and Butler is a menace to the defense partner I I don't think that was a petty or Manny that was a facial the Nets have gone 0 of five here to start the game start for them here's Sher and again unable to change momentum here here's Butler a chance to extend the lead to double digits but it's no good pass to Thomas over roier some solid defense from roier a Heat leading by [Applause] eight Butler on the wing Clon covering Butler no good and the defense was right on him there nice contest the 15-footer it's hauled in by the heat otob bio's got his fourth Rebound in this one there's the triple Butler missing again Butler's gone two for five shooting 40% from the field the play first quarter shrer outside outside for Thomas lets it go from deep and the three ball is good and that's exactly what he's looking for for draining the triple and Miami calls their first time out of the game and despite the KD Kyrie era fizzling out Richard you saw this firstand Brooklyn proved they are a destination franchise yeah just getting KD and getting Kyrie to sign was a win for the Nets it proved that all stars will go to Brooklyn now it's about finding the right Stars [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] and a whole new L up here for Brooklyn and some changes here for the Heat Miami Le by five 143 left in the first quarter and again it's the heat missing and Simmons has got the ball here for the Nets passes to sh back to Simmons and Delon wri gets the whistle that time that's his first foul outside [Applause] Simmons takes it inside and the call on the shot sends him to the line first person foul nice play by Simmons beating the defender to the spot it's his first of the line benim that free throw no good a walking triple double threat Simmons needs to keep working on developing that jump shot to be truly unguardable he's off on the second so when we're talking about team identities uh Greg what would you say is the Miami heaps identity tough-nosed aggressive and hardworking that's what attract Ed guys like Jimmy Butler here in the first place and that's the style of ball they want to continue playing sharp the pass to Watford he kicks it to Walker and again it's the Nets missing Le Heat leading by five he HS Robinson top of the [Applause] key 43 seconds left here in the opening quarter pass to right here's hwz six on the shot clock and he's fouled pretty hard on that shot but he's got the chance to pick up the points at the line the heat shooting their first shots from the stri in this game two shots oh good on that one wow what did he have something in his eye on that shot Maybe and the second free throw good boy Brooklyn GA did all they could to assemble a championship team and look what happened yeah I mean Kevin you take your swings in this league and sometimes it works sometimes you have to retool and you still have some good players to build around love how selfless he is setting brick screens like this plays like that right there are what help create easy scoring opportunities pass to Watford Simmons looking around right wing plenty of space that's good on the jump shot I love the selfless approach Simmons is all for feeding every teammate one quarter in the books and it's been a close one so far Heat lead by two 2K sports back in a moment here in Brooklyn and this has been a fairly close game through the first quarter and we'll see what happens here in the second and let's quickly break down the game we've seen from Miami guys what we saw in that first quarter they won their matchups defensively making it as difficult as possible for the offense to find clean looks great stuff here's schruder still scoreless on the court for Miami here in the second the wingman it's hero and Butler then it's bam adabo then there's Terry roier and it's heith in at the power forward the defense got crossed up and bridges takes advantage with that pass pass to [Music] Butler beyond the AR rebound on Brooklyn and you could tell he thought he had a little more space but the defender was right there did a great job closing the Gap making the shooter feel uncomfortable and it's shuder missing and the well is running dry for him right now nothing falling yeah and the risk now is that he gets inside his own head time to take deep breaths in through the nose out through the mouth and let the game come to you and one thing you know about Claxton he's not going to waste his opportunity yeah he's one of the most efficient scorers in this league and he's all about getting quality high percentage shots Greg he doesn't Force shots that aren't there for him roier the pass toay and once roier spots that hole in the defense he just doesn't hesitate just sends the ball to an open shooter and Shooters got the ball here for the Brooklyn Nets trailing by two the pass to Claxton it's Thomas on the wing this one for three it's the three-point P Thomas got five points now in the quarter and we talk about the importance of Versatility he's really got it all on the offensive end here's hero it's haed in by Claxton no clue how he misfired on that shot you don't see that from him very often and there's bridges on the assist by shrer and it's a three-point Nets lead Nimble inside play by Bridges working his way to a close range shot and block that one goes King off the glass and that one's good shrewder theed have gotten only one of their first four shots in the second quarter to drop and with an update from the sidelines let's check in with David Aldridge thank you Kevin the Nets have been forced to Pivot from their Star Cross super team era the wh ifs are Fading Into the rear view mirror now it's people like Mel Bridges that are going to form the next new era and rest assured this team has dug its way out of far worse with the draft assets and two-way Talent under the roster their aim is to remain competitive I think they are David thank you for the report and what do you guys think so far about the offensive approach for Brooklyn the ball movement has been outstanding so far they've come out of the gate looking for that extra pass and the other thing I've been impressed with guys is their assertiveness at attacking the paint trying to hunt for those high percentage looks and he makes the first and we see players sometimes Greg after a change of venue they they change team suddenly taking the next step what can key that leap Kevin it's not all just opportunity and Fit I think there can be a mental component as well a fresh start can give you a blank canvas to try new things so he gets him both that's leading by three got a piece of it and stolen by Richardson here's roier hangs in midair and converts on the double clutch Lan roer's got his second bucket of the game to go here in the second quarter about three minutes played Johnson outside l two minutes to play second quarter they get a hand on it D yet again and that's two points on the layup good work on the offensive glass Johnson putting his 6'8 height to Great use here's roier Johnson against but over Johnson Johnson with the BL and here in the second quarter of action as we approach four minutes played bridg is with it and it's Richardson picking him up and Nicholas Clon gets the whistle that time that's foul number two for him brookly making some changes shars checked in for Nicholas Claxton Walker comes in for Bridges and it's Ben Simmons in for Dennis [Applause] schruder the heat trail by three and while we see a number of players get hurt during the season Richard Mel Bridges has remained very durable he's just an old school player that's what they used to do if you were healthy you played in every single game and he's found ways to stay healthy now here's Simmons after Terry roer's Miss Simmons against Richardson tries again and Simmons with the layup Simmons got the lead up to five now for Brooklyn such a great rebounder Simmons executes that sequence before anyone can react and stolen by Simmons Johnson finds Simmons now here's Walker back to Simmons on the wing walker offline with his three the heat trail by five it's 9 seconds separating the shot clocking [Applause] game here's yic that one a little long planets have gone six of 14 shooting here in the [Applause] second Simmons against RI s shot is good and it's a seven-point Nets lead and at 610 a player like Simmons to handle the ball the way he does that's just not fair here's Haw and he got that one up in time but doesn't go in and so it's Brooklyn heading to the bench with a seven-point lead as we wrap up the quarter they've been playing some ferocious defense and now we'll send it over to David Aldridge who is standing by courtside David Kevin thanks coach what has to happen to pull out the win well we have to play through some of the tough times okay whether it's a Miss call or whether Miss shots uh this is a passionate game and we got to stay in the course we'll see what happens thanks fo back to you Kevin thank you David and we'll be back after halftime as the third quarter gets underway and now the 2K sports halftime show hey welcome back to 2K Sports Ernie Johnson alongside Shaquille O'Neal and the Jet Kenny Smith let's get to it Brooklyn found themselves in a close game in the first and having been behind by as many as eight they clawed their way back they went into the half with a seven-point lead after executing well in the second quarter let's start with you Shaq what you think about the Nets they've really established themselves in the glass being dominant there has been extra possessions which they've cashed in on now we just got to you know bring the same energy to the second half Kenny what' you think about Miami whatever they're trying to do on offense it ain't working if they have any chance of coming back in this one they're going to have to be more methodical in their coach Talent without discipline will never result in sustained success and now with the second half about to get underway let's send you back courtside see you everybody with Kevin Harley and for those of you just tuning in thanks for being with us the second half of this game still to play and shooters got the ball here for the Nets Thomas is out there with Dennis shudder then there's Dorian finny Smith then it's Bridges and it's Clon in at Center so that's the lineup for Brooklyn now here's Thomas and oh boy a lot of contact there but he gets the call and will shoot two Tyler herro picks one up early 2023 saw cam Thomas just erupt as a score Greg we were talking about it every game a guy who was ready to break out and I like using the word ready because he was given an opportunity and took it and he showed us all what a productive machine he could be and the first one drops [Applause] and both free throws good for Thomas and what an advantage you really feel like you can always trust him when he's at the line Bridges against Butler trying to break that ice cold streak Bridges with some nice defense Nets leading by nine pass to Vish Smith from past the ark it's h in by the Heat and sometimes on defense you could just get lucky and now we've got some time to check in from the sidelines you got for us da thank you Kevin Jimmy Butler made some headlines a while back when he said he wish the NBA would allow more of the scrapping we saw in decades past so would I he says that would shoot his game Jimmy said I want to run into people and see who falls down first who's going to quit first that's the style of basketball I like to play Kevin ah yep you're right and it shows da it shows thank you so much now here's Bridges Jimmy Butler unable to get his R shot to go the mid-range isn't a no go for Bridges he can get that died in here's roir it's rebounded by schruder I thought he had that all slown out but somehow the defense just threw him off Marts check in for the heat D Wright comes in for Terry rier the long right that's leading by 13 just over a minute and a half half have passed here in the third quarter here's Thomas Second Chance effort and adabo sends it back and got to be careful shooting around adabo an athletic big man who gets up as fast as anybody to block shots he lobs up the Alle pass it's harder to those passes inside but the reward is evident Butler against Bridges and that one's good by Butler Butler and you can tell he welcomes contact Butler wants to physically dominate shrer looking around and he converts the layup sher's got his second bucket haven't we seen that a few times today guys I mean their defense has got to have a little bit more toughness in and that one good and this kind of shot def finds who Butler is just a bulldog who Embraces finishing against the tight cover now here's shrer Fires for three cans it from downtown sher's got seven and really the story of this second half one team getting the shots they want the other not so much and start with their defense they've been intense on that end and they can actually help their offense as well and it's Miami with the rebound Butler's got his fourth Rebound with that last one here tonight two free throws coming up and they call the shooting foul an outstanding athlete for a player of his huge build otabo will bang and bump with the best of them the Heat have gone three of four at the free throw line tonight first free throw is good and attitude plays such a big role in adab game this guy is a worker doesn't mind getting his hands dirty if it means getting his team ahead looking at who's out there now for the Nets Ben Simmons he's checked in for Nicholas Claxton trendon Watford comes in for Dorian finy Smith Cameron Johnson's checked in for Mel Bridges and it's Lonnie Walker in for Thomas and out of B [Music] n n [Music] Brooklyn leading by 14 outside Walker back to [Music] shrer goes to the reverse layup and props it in sher's got seven points for the quarter if you give him an inch of space he's going to make you pay RJ you look at Dennis shuder incredibly fast but also a veteran leader now yeah he's really matur he knows how to make plays without making too many mistakes that's what you get from a guy with 10 plus years in this league now here's Walker 16-point lead the largest margin in the game when you allow good scores to get uncontested shots at the rim no wonder you're losing that's a great possession put your best players in a position to succeed basket good taking it up strong against size he does not lack for confidence really putting the bigger defender on his heels I love seeing aggressive finishes like that now here here's [Applause] Watford kicks to Johnson here's Watford and he uses the glass on the layup wat's got his second basket cobal Johnson with the hot pass good job seeing that Open Richardson against shuder pulls it from the elbow Brooklyn with the rebound and that's a foul called on bam out of bi that's his first foul Sharps checked in for Dennis shuder and then for Miami yic is checked in and it's roier in for Richardson that's leading by 18 about 7 Seconds separating the shot in game class Walker the pass to Watford Some solid defense from Robinson and the activity he shows around the rim is why he is such a respected Defender yeah you can see why he's established that reputation strong understanding of how to defend at The Rim from Deep three-point territory and so it's Brooklyn with an 18-point lead as the quarter comes to a close their strategy has been clear tonight work the ball inside get shots in the paint and now they are scoring with ease right back after this break and there have been two very different performances from these teams today as we get going in quarter number four the heat trail by 18 on the court for the heat out of Bio is the big man with Butler slotting in at the four roier is out there with Tyler hero and it's Robinson in at the three spot the more of those mid-range jumpers roier hits the more the passing Lanes will open up for him pass to Thomas driving to the basket and it's good assisting on the play with Simmons s unwilling to let up even for a moment that's his Killer Instinct just Fanning the FL always plays hard until the final whistle no matter what the situation is now here's roier here's herro banked in off the glass oh and the touch on the interior hero can hit jumpers as well as capitalize in close Claxton the pass to Thomas shoots over hero here's Claxton and that one is stuffed right through and doing some dirty work on the offensive glass and then follows it up Greg with heavy duty jam on his mind with a terrific fo back and it's out of bounds last Touch by Thomas great instincts from him to get a hand on that pass and tip it out yeah I think he was hoping to maybe even get the steal but I agree he still got a good outcome Dennis shter checked in for Brooklyn and Miami with a change here too he Smith is checked in now here's Butler the shot off that time Bridges with some nice [Applause] defense about a minute and a half through the fourth quarter now it's [Applause] tipped outo with the ball and the layups good off the glass and he just battles hard in the post bam doesn't need a clean look to convert from that range here's schruder that's all good and that's his fifth basket of the game he's shooting five for 11 now no settling for an outside shot there they went right to the hoop here's hero and the layup Falls her break down for the Defenders and you can't ask for an easier bucket than that Nets leading by 16 Bridges outside Jimmy Butler comes up with the rebound Butler's got five rebounds tonight stolen by Thomas kicks it to shrer passes it it to fny Smith back to schruder there's the lob to Bridges and stolen by Butler here we go all alone and a lot of contact on that one so he'll shoot two here first personal foul [Music] first and a closer look here at the hustle stands for Brooklyn great heads up defensive play tonight creating offensive opportunities for themselves by forcing deflections and another thing they did well was just keep the effort up offensively lots of boards leading to extra opportunities which they converted and he knocks down the first one white he's checked in for Tyler hero [Applause] off on that one so he goes one for two at the line and here's Bridges he'll bring it up for the Brooklyn Nets they led by as many as 18 points that one Falls and the Nets lead by 17 and just a step ahead of the D in that possession there making the pass nice assist Bridges with the steel and bridges with a clear path to the basket finish off the break late in the game up big they continue to attack if you want to be great you have to have that killer instinct count that one 10 points for Butler strong move by Butler making sure that was a quality possession 146 left in the fourth quarter of this one that's tipped and stolen by [Applause] Wright he gets that one theong right that's leading by [Applause] 15 shrer right [Applause] side unloads from 13 it's hauled in by the heat oto's got eight rebounds in this game and tonight's battle is going to end with a very clear winner leaving nothing to chance impressive win for the Nets they never settled for mediocre shots and Kevin they had great penetration this timeout a very solid win indeed when you check out the box score there were some great numbers for Dennis shuder he was just dropping dimes left and right out there any opening that the D provided he exploited it and found his teammates now here's Thomas shrer outside out to Bridges now vny Smith missed inside now 8 seconds separating the two clocks deep two from Robinson and they cash in right away with a quick shot I guys is a good chance for them to slow it down yeah they definitely should use some clock here Bridges and the lay is good after a nice lead patch and the Nets lead by 15 and you can sense that these fans these players they are ready to celebrate it's always nice to perform like this especially in front of the faithful home crowd here's shrer and Delon wri gets the whistle that time that's foul number two for him firstam foul substitutions on the court and here's shrer and so it's Brooklyn easily grabbing this one some good moments throughout this one but they had the clear Advantage down the stretch yeah I mean I love the way they executed on both ends of the floor completely under control for the vast majority of the game and whenever there was a misstep they just didn't allow it to fester and that's why they're going to walk away with the win and that'll wrap it up folks this is Kevin Harland thanking you for watching we'll see you next time
