You guys have been shooting the ball well all year, but 19 more threes tonight.

What did you see?

As as the key there and how you were able to get looks and knock them down.

And how much of a difference it made?

Um, just get into the paint.

You know, last game, we had 18 paint touches in the first quarter, then 18, I said, And when we get to the pain, were able to finish or be able to kick out to our shooters and makes him open threes and I really they get into the paint.

No, this is a defense who protects the paint five guys and and, uh, you know, God through the right path.

You know, on the flip side, Milwaukee was able to score in the paint a lot tonight.

I believe it was 58 points in the paint.

Frank said.

That's been a focus in the last film session.

What have you been seeing defensively and and how do you think that could get short up a bit better?

Um, have been very good with our low man.

Just help side defense.

Uh, you know, we're depending on God to play one on one a lot turning our man.

And, you know, we're a defensive line detained way rely on each other.

Help.

Um, no, Guys aren't.

Goodness, you guys are gonna get beat.

No, I want to make tough shots, but we gotta be able to help our teammates, and, uh, we're usually good around.

Um, you know, the three point area.

Well, but But by the break where we have guys out, But once you get in the paint, um, that guy's being rotation is, um I haven't been there for us, and we missed a couple of times tonight as well.

So way got to be better Bill or Haiti.

You know, So much was made last summer about LeBron finishing second to Yonas in M v P.

Obviously you also in D p o y.

Did that add any motivation or juice to this matchup tonight for you guys?

No.

Last season, Obviously no one, uh, had brought it up top.

Our motivation was not losing toe on the road tonight and we were able to get that a comet.

Great is a great player, great player, both sides of the ball Oh, yeah.

No, he deserved him for us.

We just try to go out there and went back.

Well, hey, D um you know, it seems like, um, you know, the team was trying to get you a lot of post ups, uh, late in the game, and then you have three assists, I think, on three critical baskets in the little stretch in the fourth quarter.

What was the adjustment for you?

And how did you kind of adapt your mentality to how you are operating out of the post?

Um, right now, I'm so hard on myself, man, I got stuck right now not making shots on making free throws.

Um, but I think tonight my aggressiveness, you know, just being the post and get into the paint.

Oh, allowed Dr Teoh get open.

And I trust my teammates.

You know, a C hit one for me, Brian had one.

And and Kenny hit one, and, ah, they're in the right spots where I want those guys when I have the ball in the post and was able to just make the read, you know, with their guys doubling or collapse into the paint when I get there and was able to kick it.

No.

God made shots.

Those guys made shots.

So, um, I've been just my brother tonight.

Abreast.

I opened up the floor for everyone.

That's the only way after, like, I'm going to get out of this No fuck or whatever that I'm in, you know?

So I put a lot of pressure wants upto be a better basketball player game?

Yeah.

Song if a d, whether it was explicit or not going into the game.

And you guys talking about the matchup with Yannis when you look at the score sheet after the game, you see you hold the back to back M v P O r not hold him.

You contribute to him.

Having nine turnovers is their level of satisfaction.

In terms of I know, you take pride in the defense that you guys were able to, you know, have that type of effect on on a guy you mentioned as a great player, his team defense.

You know, everyone, just not the guy on the ball.

Guarded leaders, creators, you know, praise the honest law.

So good, isn't he?

Make the right blaze West kind of helped results about able to play with them last year.

It was a little inside on the things that they like to run and they like to do.

Right, Miss Obtained defense.

Same effort on everyone.

Um, you know who's on the other side of the ball?

No, I think myself Marquis Braun, Trade guard room.

Um, no, guys are just being physical and trying to live in his paint touches and, uh, you know, make other dogs dealers.

I didn't know you had non turnovers, but hell of a job for us, right?

We've got time for a couple more.

Rachel Nichols.

A d.

I'm doing a project asking guys what they remember about the first time they ever played against Kobe Bryant.

So I don't know, it was your rookie year or preseason game, but the very first time you played against him on the court, what do you remember from that night?

First time N b a r.

Remember.

I remember.

Think of either my first year of my second year.

Um, New Orleans e a team with Kobe, Dwight everything.

And it's the year that I think Kobe, right?

Actually, against that, he toured something in his right shoulder.

I wanna say labor more or something?

Dog.

He's holding his shoulder after you went, Drove to the basket.

I'm like, man, something wrong with the shoulder.

And I was on the bench and no time out.

And he comes back into the game E he's tough, you know?

Eating these.

He's still going to continue to play on you.

Come down the very next play, throw the ball to him in the post, and I think, Dante, Two dribbles.

Mm.

You know, And you know doesn't shit me and shoot the ball left hand and it goes in, was kind of him down court and look at the bench.

And I'm just amazed that a god who?

His right hand, he just comes in to say, Okay, I'm just gonna shoot.

But in that So hold one of my earliest memories in the league?

No.

Do you remember him saying anything to you, or were you too scared to say anything to him?

No, I just say anything.

I was on the bench, and so the game kept going on about And, uh, I didn't say anything.

I just say anything.

Psychologist.

Amazed he would attempt to shop.

Thanks, lady.

last question.

BT it's up 80.

Um, Kenny was seven for 10 from the field tonight and he shot the ball except me.

Well, how confident is he appeared to be right now And what he's making shots like that.

How does that open the offense for you guys?

Explain extremely well, motions of Florida.

His confidence is very hard.

We're expecting to make shots.

So to make shots and we're finding, you know, he takes Excuse me, it's not over, guys.

The air is little drunk.

Um, no, he he's a big time shot taker and a big time Sean Baker.

And when you got to go on, we look forward.

We kind of got on the Golden State game about nine, um, taking the shot that was over for him late in the game.

We came out tonight, Mets live when he got to go on like that and you guys are making shots.

They opened up the paint for all our drivers and president a lot before.
