Mike Breen let's out his iconic phrases in the Warriors vs Lakers game

Fans couldn’t take their eyes off Wednesday’s Christmas Day game between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers. The game was tightly contested, with several lead changes throughout. The undeniable climax came when Stephen Curry banked two three-pointers as the clock wound down. First came with 15.3 seconds remaining and then again with only 8.9 seconds left to tie the game.

Although the Warriors ultimately lost the game by a single basket, with the final score of 115-113, it was a Christmas Day thriller, nonetheless. Moreover, another iconic moment came in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. Legendary commentator Mike Breen was propelled to use his catchphrase, “BANG-BANG,” after witnessing ‘Chef Curry’ sink a 30-footer to even the score.

Mike Breen explains why the “Blocked by James” is his favorite call ever

In the same Christmas game, Mike Breen also called his favorite catchline from the 2016 Finals, “Blocked by James.” The catchphrase was born when LeBron James blocked a layup by Andre Iguodala in the 2016 Finals.

This time, James blocked Andrew Wiggins with only 55 seconds left in the game. It’s Mike Breen’s favorite tagline because he once explained it to JJ Redick during his appearance on The Young Man and The Three podcast.

Well, ‘The Block’ against the Golden State Warriors when they won the title, that has to be it. It meant so much to him [LeBron James] to win one there
 for him to do it in Cleveland and do it with a block. It showed what it meant to him. The hunger that he went after that title was pretty amazing, especially the way that series went.

Everyone had counted out Cleveland from that series once they went down 3-1 in the Finals. LeBron James and his team re-wrote history that series because no one had ever come back to win the NBA title in a seven-game series from a 3-1 deficit.
