But Danny, let's start off with we had a really great NBA Cup night, had the Knicks and Magic game. We had a fantastic game between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder, which is where we're going to start off. And later on, Danny will play, Are You Drinking the Kuwait, which is something he hasn't done so far. Stay tuned for that. But let's start with this game between San Antonio and OKC. San Antonio wins 111 to 109. This is snapping the Oklahoma City's long wind streak. They are now just two losses on the season. Woohoo.

2:32.5

not able to actually contribute in the way that

2:34.6

you would anticipate Victor Wanban Yama being able to contribute. And then the second half

2:39.2

rolls around. And what he did in the fourth quarter, what he did in the second half just,
