>> mike: kyrie irving, magnificent here in the overtime. all six of the cavs points. >> jeff: just too good in the pick and roll. the ability to create separation, and then, because aldridge is dropping back, he's getting this mid-range jump s t shot. and look at that use of his body. that's special. >> mike: well, three special players right there, having outstanding games. a career high for leonard. james, the game-tying three in regulation. and irving, right now, the big scorer in the extra period. so, danny green has come on. ginobili went back to the locker room. it looked like some kind of back spasms, as he was holding his back. james looks for irving. irving fakes the three.

>> mike: so, a huge turnover right there. 24.2 remaining. the cavaliers have to foul. >> mark: and mike, coach will agree, i'm sure, so many teams in that position, we have to get a three -- no, get a quick two and get a stop. >> mike: by the way, they have a foul to give, so, they can play very aggressive defense in going for a steal here, before they put them at the free-throw line. >> jeff: getting the ball in late in the game is very difficult to do with heightened intensity. >> mike: inside goes to leonard. they double-team. aldridge has it. anderson. back up top. aldridge. and there's the whistle and a foul. they did a good job to try to get a steal. >> mark: a guy they miss in this situation is manu ginobili who is the outstanding at creating space, using that strength and that slickness to get open. >> mike: now they have to foul again with that foul to give. patty mills comes free.

leonard was free. anderson has to call time-out. good ball denial from lebron james, who pats leonard, and san antonio will now have one time-out remaining. both teams with one time-out left. >> mark: in this situation, for so many years, we watched tim duncan being the guy taking the ball out of bounds for the spurs. now, it's kyle anderson. size, passing ability. there's no opening. i think the smartest play possible, get a time-out. don't force anything. get over to the sideline and let's run something else. >> jeff: i think duncan should travel with them and just suit up and, like, be the designated in-bounder late. >> mike: so often, so many teams in this instance, they look to foul right away. cavs doing a great job trying to force the turnover, before they do anything like that to put them at the free-throw line. now, what a terrific game, guys, on our first nba saturday primetime special.
11:10 pm
you got the second-best record against the third-best record. and right from the opening tip, they have gone back and forth. this has been fun to watch. >> jeff: i couldn't be more impressed with the spurs tonight. on the road, down a couple players. the quality of shots that they've been able to generate has been impressive. >> mark: it's been awfully impressive on both sides. both teams had the opportunity, you look at the cavs, down, they found a way to fight back, claw back, get some stops and get -- it's been a heck of a ball game. >> mike: still 18.1 remaining. cavs looking for a steal, force a turnover here. >> mark: we've seen it in the past. you don't have to foul right away. be aggressive, try to strip the basketball. try to come up with a steal or taurnover, and then, if you don't have it, commit the foul. >> mike: leonard looks exhausted. 46 minutes. leonard and lebron james have played 46 minutes. highs for their team. anderson, the inbound.
11:11 pm
anderson looking. looking. lobs it in. leonard double-teamed. picks up his dribble. james grabs it -- held ball. great double-team from the cavs. and they'll jump it up. >> mark: it's a smart play. how many guys we see grab and try to foul -- no. they are anticipating you fouling. go for the steal. disrupt them. and great hands by lebron james, getting involved. great trap. you don't foul him. look what i found. now, you have a chance to win a jump ball and have possession. >> jeff: more and more teams are doing a better job late-game of not just giving the foul, but trying to create a turnover first. >> mike: james looking to go back. has the height advantage, barely. ball tipped up, kevin love tried to get it, comes --
11:12 pm
>> mark: great job by kawhi leonard. the big-time finnish transition, off the hustle of kevin love. >> mike: love knocked into our audio. a whistle and a foul. time-out called by san antonio. 118-115, with 1.8. the spurs on the verge of another fantastic road win. >> jeff: well, good hustle on the loose ball. love saves it back in, to leonard, and leonard, instead of waiting to be fouled, attacks the rim and finishes with the dunk. smart play by leonard, tristan thompson should have fouled him there. >> mike: kawhi leonard with a career high 41 points. just another brilliant performance from one of the nba's special players.
11:13 pm
as good as it gets, in terms of a two-way player. defensive player of the year the past two years. this year, averaging a career high 25, for a spurs team that's on the verge of going 34-9. the quiet kawhi leonard. just 25 years old, in his sixth year in the league. now they've got the ball in. they lob it into aldridge. and a foul called. lebron james with .9 remaining. so, the cavs still have one time-out remaining. all aldridge has to do, obviously, is hit one of these. if he misses both, cavs can get a rebound, call time-out,
11:14 pm
advance the ball. obviously it would be a difficult situation, but not impossible. and aldridge misses the first. >> jeff: lebron james was mad that they called the foul on that and i couldn't really understand why. >> mike: misses the second. time-out. well, the clock went down to .3 remaining. >> jeff: i'm not sure james had control. >> mike: gregg popovich quickly coming out and talking to the officials who are going to have a conference. derek stafford says he had possession. >> jeff: he didn't. >> mike: you're right. went to call a time-out.
11:15 pm
>> jeff: ball's loose. >> mike: had it there on his left hip, but it slipped out right away. the officials, though, i think they're going to rule that he had possession. >> mark: i would say that's possession. the left hand with the ball by his hip. i would say that's possession. >> mike: so, there's -- now they put -- there's usually that on a miss, .3 have to go off, so, there's .6. so, enough time to catch and shoot. >> jeff: the possession occurred with the ball on the hip, it didn't take more than .3 to hit his hands, pin it on his hip? >> mark: if i'm the spurs, i'm playing outside the three-point line. there's no reason to play anybody inside of it. >> mike: love goes to the corner, he's open -- lob, puts it up -- game over. spurs win.
11:16 pm
kevin love had a chance, but came up short and san antonio with another big road win. the respect that the players have for gregg popovich on display, as san antonio improves to 34-9. they've now won at golden state, at houston twice and here in cleveland. they beat the best teams in the nba on their home floor. >> mark: never satisfied. inspite of a win. pop is still upset about the last possession. how in the world does kevin love get wide open for a potential game-tying three-point play? >> mike: nobody follows him. >> mark: slips it. nobody communicates. that's too good of a look. but a huge win by the spurs. >> mike: anderson does go to contest. and that maybe had an impact there. meanwhile, kawhi leonard, a career high 41, just a spectacular performance. he's with lisa. >> lisa: thank you, mike.
11:17 pm
kawhi leonard is over here, just shaking his head. kawhi, how did kevin love get that wide open three off? >> ah -- just a miscommunication down there in the last stretch. we can't have that going forward. we already had a game that we lost like that with guys getting wide open shots. we got to just keep learning from mistakes. >> lisa: what were you thinking when you saw him get that look? >> oh, i kind of -- i kind of -- it seemed like he was going to get it weed open. i came up top, but as soon as he caught it, i didn't know if he was going to get the shot off, because he shot it too quickly, but man, i thought it was going in for sure. >> lisa: what was the difference in the overtime? >> just, you know, them guys missed some shots. we made shots on our end, and that's how the ball changed today. >> lisa: this is the sixth consecutive 30-point plus game for you. do you feel like you're in a groove? >> ah, yeah, i'm in a bit of a rhythm.
11:18 pm
the coaching staff is doing a great job. my players are getting me the ball in my spots. and just trying to win. >> lisa: now, jeff van gundy called it small forward nirvana. you and lebron james, just going at it. what do you enjoy about going up against lebron? i saw you guys give each other a big embrace after the game. what do you enjoy most about going up against him? >> he's a great player, just like playing great teams, and it's just always fun playing a guy like him that's going to compete at every possession. >> lisa: thanks. keep doing your thing. mike? >> mike: he's a man of few words, lisa. what a scintillating performance from kawhi leonard. final score, here at quicken loans arena, the cavaliers, if the first time this season, lose a game that they were leading after three. they were 26-0. the spurs defeat them here on their home floor. so, for jeff van gundy, mark jackson, lisa salters, our producer tim corrigan, director jimmy moore and our outstanding
