What may be read was versus what LeBron was trying to do and how Rondo was involved a passer.

And then also, just the significance of the fact that, well, obviously huge significance were up 20 Now, as a result of that, just a big time shot by a big time player way Have a set where we can basically isolate LeBron on a baseline, out of bounds.

Situation like that.

Uh, Rano came up whispered in my ear about Do I want him in there as a passer.

And, um obviously I said, heck, yes.

Hey, made a great read on it, and Anthony flew over to the wing.

You know, we talked about missing that shot, that similar type of shot against Brooklyn right before the hiatus.

And, uh, you know, like I said, big time shot by a big time player.

Frank, what have you noticed about AIDS?

Temperament?

Just him as a person.

Him as a player throughout your year of coaching him.

And how can that speak to the moment that he rose to a crawl.

Yeah, well, he's like I said, He's e keeps saying he's a big top player, you know?

He really carried us through.

Ah, you know, a stretch where we were struggling to score late in the third.

Um, you know, the the combo of, uh, of LeBron James and Anthony Davis is just, you know, if the one that was not going the other one is And there was a little bit of that tonight when they're both going at the same time, you know, we're near impossible to stop.

And you know, those guys both carried each other throughout the game and obviously a big part of the wind.

If this day thes late game situations have part of game over the last 56 years where he's become notorious for making those shots, you have Anthony with the ability you have caused me, another young player who hit a game winner against Denver in the bubble down here is that just give you more options?

Eyes are pecking order.

What's it like as a coach trying to figure out what's doing?

This is to It depends, you know.

It depends on the match up.

It depends on who's been going, uh, depends on the coverage.

You know, the ability to have two targets out there?

Um, you know, and you know, obviously in this in this scenario with Rondo as the passer, uh, being able to read the defense and which is more open, you know, knowing both of them have that ability, uh, makes us a big threat down the stretch.

So, uh, you know, happy for those guys Thio win a game like that.

Hey, Frank a d on his walk off.

He talked a little bit about the questions about whether he wants this pressure fact that he hasn't been in the Western Conference final.

Or, um, what do you think a shot like that in this kind of moment both can do for his confidence.

And also in mourning what you saw in his confidence and his willingness to on that pressure in them.

I've seen that from him all year.

And, uh, just because his teams haven't been good enough to reach this this moment doesn't mean that, you know, he's not that caliber of player, you know?

And we saw that tonight.

No surprise by me.

No surprise by our whole group.

And hopefully there's more.

Still to come.

Ali.

Sure, Kyle Goon, if obviously exhilarating way.

But think about you guys have 16 points.

Yes.

Are you sort of like we kind of got away with one there?

Not really.

It's a 48 minute game.

Leads me nothing against this team.

Their nightmare to guard, Um, give them credit for playing an outstanding basketball game.

You know, even in the first half.

Well, we had a lead, you know, they're playing well, And, um, like I said, they're extremely difficult to guard, and they're they're well put together.

And they're well coached on the defensive end.

This is a complete basketball team were playing against, so leads me nothing.

You gotta play 48 minutes, and luckily, we were able to tow prevail down the stretch.

Severe.

Jeff pregnant.

Sort of like.

Where you going?

Yeah, it was It was on my mind, you know, as I was about to look for him, he came over different pastime like heck, yeah.

Let's go.

Let's get him in.

He knew the play.

They saw what?

We're in the information we're in.

But he also going to send Cindy shall throw it back to you.

Okay, we'll do last two.

Here.

Let's go with Bill PLASCHKE.

Yeah, Frank.

The TNT cameras call you telling the team who was a Mamba Shaq playing that well.

We wanna embody what Kobe Bryant stood for and honor his memory.

And obviously, you know, there's certain games.

We're gonna feel it a little bit more than others.

When we have that uniform on.

I think we feel it more than others.

And you know, that's That's a shot Kobe Bryant would hit, you know?

So to me, you know, a d coming off.

You know that.

Just flying through the wing like that.

Catch and shoot with the game on the line and the biggest moment of our season.

Nothing but net.

It's Mama shop yet, Coach.

A lot of their comeback was done through yoke.

It's really kind of getting switched on your guards working through that.

How do you better control that moving forward guarding when he gets to its own impartial?

Uh huh.

It's like I said, this team is a nightmare to defend, You know, the problems that he presents along with Murray, along with their supporting cast, is a reason there in the Western Conference finals and a threat to beat us.

You know, we have to dio.

I think we're doing a good job keeping bodies on bodies, you know, in those switching situations, Um, but to try to get the ball, uh, you know, get to get out of those situations is complicated, and it's it's difficult and our guys are competing.

We're doing a good job in a lot of situations, but not good enough.

You know, Hopefully, this is one of those scenarios where each game that goes by, we get a little bit better each game and continue to improve with that and hopefully were able to get another win.

Another two wins.
