Prime Video brings familiar faces and new voices to NBA coverage
Prime Video will have many familiar faces along with some new voices when it begins its first season of NBA coverage in October. Kevin Harlan, Ian Eagle and Stan Van Gundy are coming over from TNT while Cassidy Hubbarth is coming from ESPN. Advertisement Harlan and Van Gundy were part of TNT's crew for its final NBA game on May 31, when the Indiana Pacers defeated the New York Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals. Harlan was with TNT since 1996 while Van Gundy returned to being an analyst in 2021 after being fired as New Orleans' coach. Eagle, who has called Nets games since 1996, began doing national games for TNT in 2010. Prime Video will not have set announcing pairings or name an 'A' or 'B' team, but Eagle is likely to be the voice for the top games, including a conference finals series in 2027. He's also been the lead voice for CBS coverage of the men's NCAA Tournament the last two years. Advertisement 'We're not in a situation where we have like a single game of the week. We have two big games every week and more after the NFL season ends,' said Jared Stacy, Prime Video's head of production. 'So we're always going to sort of be living in this doubleheader world and we're treating every game like a big game. We like the ability to be flexible and try out different combinations as we go." Hubbarth not only worked games as a sideline reporter for ESPN, but served as a guest host on the network's NBA studio shows and also hosted the digital series 'Hoop Streams.' Prime Video also announced the additions of play-by-play announcers Michael Grady and Eric Collins, analysts Brent Barry and Dell Curry, and Allie Clifton and Kristina Pink as sideline reporters. Collins and Curry have called Charlotte Hornets games together since 2015. Barry, a former TNT analyst, returns to broadcasting for the first time since 2018 after roles with the San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns. Advertisement Grady has been the Minnesota Timberwolves TV voice since 2022. Pink has done sideline reporting for LA Clippers games as well as Fox Sports NFL coverage while Clifton has been part of the Los Angeles Lakers broadcasts since 2018 after being the Cleveland Cavaliers sideline reporter from 2012 through '18. 'I think you see that with a lot of the people we announced today there are familiar voices but we've got front office experience, coaching experience and Hall of Fame playing experience on this roster. I think it's a really good, well-rounded group of people who are excited to build something from the ground up,' Stacy said. 'I think it's one of the reasons we've been successful on Thursday night is everybody's enjoyed building what 'Thursday Night Football' has become. And I think you're going to see the same kind of passion from this group here.' Prime Video previously announced Taylor Rooks will host studio coverage with Blake Griffin, Dirk Nowitzki and Udonis Haslem as analysts. Steve Nash, Dwyane Wade and Candace Parker will be game and studio analysts. Prime Video's NBA coverage begins on Oct. 24 with a Friday night doubleheader. The 11-year agreement includes 66 regular-season games, including a doubleheader on Thursday nights after the NFL's regular season is over. It also includes all six NBA Play-In Tournament games, about one-third of the games in the first two rounds of the playoffs and the knockout rounds of the NBA Cup in-season tournament. It will also carry one of the conference finals series for six seasons. ___ AP NBA: Joe Reedy, The Associated Press

Brunson, Towns carry Knicks to 111-94 victory that cuts Pacers' series lead to 3-2
Stan Van Gundy joins the Dan Le Batard Show to break down some of the biggest stories around the NBA, including the future of the Thunder and the matchups to watch as the Pacers look to close out the Knicks. NEW YORK — Jalen Brunson scored 32 points, Karl-Anthony Towns added 24 points and 13 rebounds despite a bruised left knee and the New York Knicks stayed alive in the Eastern Conference finals by beating the Indiana Pacers 111-94 on Thursday night in Game 5. The Knicks won on their home floor for the first time in the series and prevented the Pacers from earning the second NBA Finals trip in franchise history. Indiana will try again Saturday night at home. Knicks fans chanted 'Knicks in 7! Knicks in 7!' in the final minutes as New York extended its first trip to the conference finals since 2000 and kept alive hopes of becoming the 14th team to overcome a 3-1 deficit to win a series. No team has won a conference finals series after dropping the first two games at home. Two nights after giving up 43 points in the first quarter, the Knicks held the Pacers to just 45 in the first half and limited Tyrese Haliburton, who had 32 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds Tuesday, to just eight points and six assists. Brunson, outplayed by his point guard counterpart Tuesday, rebounded with his franchise-record 20th postseason game of 30 or more points with the Knicks. Bennedict Mathurin scored 23 points off the bench for the Pacers, who had won six straight road games. Indiana shot just 40.5% from the field in by far its lowest-scoring game of the postseason. Brunson scored 14 in the first quarter as the Knicks held a 27-23 lead - giving up 20 fewer points than in the first quarter of Game 4, when they trailed 43-35. Towns, who was questionable to play after hurting his left knee in a collision late in Game 4, picked up the slack with 12 in the second, when Brunson was scoreless. Brunson came back with the Knicks' first eight of the third quarter as they opened a 20-point lead midway through the period. The Pacers cut that in half before New York regained control with a 12-0 burst, highlighted by Brunson's four-point play, to make it 86-64.
