you called for a 12th at the free throw line late?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think so.
Um, e seconds Did they give you, like, a warning or anything before it or because, I mean, I think I'm not in arena, so I don't really know what happened.
No.
Yeah, they did.
Told me Thio, you know, hold up my routine.
But it's kind of like a fortunate, because I don't know if it was a test, because I'm not going to complain about that.
Maybe it waas but, you know, sharing other players like going 12345 and influence in the refs to call it.
You know, that's the frustrating party trying to go through my routine.
And I can hear everybody, you know, behind me talking and you know, yet into the ref.
And there's nobody in there the arena, you know, And that should not be happening When I think there's like a rule that you know, when you're in the free throw line on the other, you know the opening players, they cannot talk to you.
No, they all they cannot, you know, count while you're going through your routine.
But I think that?
I've called it the second violation.
Um, I don't know if he was he probably waas It doesn't really matter to me in the booth.
Yeah, okay.
Cool.
Thanks.
I was just trying toe get clarification on that.
I guess.
For you guys, you hold them to 15 points.
I think in the first quarter and then three quarters of 30 plus points just would you kind of think of the defensive effort?
Was it just a matter of, like, kind of let your foot off the gas or what?
You see defensively?
I don't think we let that our food of the gas, I think they were just making shots.
Just make it tough shots.
Um, you know, we're trying to, you know, make the stuff.
It's possible And they were just hitting threes.
Colonies were sitting trees, hundreds sitting trees.
They just had a good second half.
But we try to be solid.
Obviously, in the first quarter, we keep them in 15 points, but we try to do the same exactly what we did in the first quarter.
But it was just like down shots and making tough shots and just gotta live with it.
Jim Ozersky.
Yes.
Drew seemed pretty excited that Tory was able to get some early run with you guys.
Uh, so what have you seen in practice?
To get him to this point?
And then what was tonight like, working him in defensively, especially, was it was really good.
Um hey, played well.
He was locked in.
Uh, hey.
Was aggressive.
Hey, came.
He came in like you, you know?
Did not.
Mr Game, um, in practice is we always, like, gotten the best player on the team.
Um, being everywhere being passing lanes remind the ball being acted with his hands.
Yeah, has great hands.
Obviously.
Um, what we need that we need that toughness.
We need him defensively to be there every single night.
We needed more offensively to make the right play and knock down shots and screen horse and roll to the basket for easy layups.
I'm happy that he's back, and we definitely don't need more than Sarah.
Big contributions from Bobby tonight.
Double figures for Bryn.
What changes when the bench is scoring just good.
It feels good.
You know, when Bobby and Brain and had no those guys coming off the bench, the feeling good.
Um, it's easy.
Makes the game easier for us.
Um, at the same time, they're defending, you know, getting passing lines.
Um, when we rebound the ball, we're able to, you know, around to the spot and wait for the three for the three.
Um, but it just It just makes the game a lot easier for us.
And we need this from them.
I want them to be aggressive.
Also, the jugs and also Magadan shot being aggressive, like coming are bad.
You always gotta be started.
Those gotta be aggressive.
And that's what they did tonight.
What did you think of Dante's dunk?
Have you seen something like that from him before?
So you have seen?
Sure.
I've seen a lot of times like that Onda practice and games because he got hops, you know, because my chocolate No, I'm joking.
But no, but he did different.
The house was credible dunk.
And we need him to dunk like that even more in Pittman.
Hey, honest.
You actually passed Marcus Johnson tonight on the franchise scoring list and, uh, and and crossed 11,000 points, so I'm just wondering, I mean, you've been here now for 78 seasons obviously extended in the off season as you do climb those individual milestones, I guess.
Does that does that mean something to to do that with this franchise?
And I guess, especially someone like Marcus, who obviously, you still say around the team.
And, uh, I've sort of got to know him since you Binya.
No, he's, uh it's a lot off hard work paid off.
Um, you know, But you know, as how I feel about that in the way I am, it does.
It doesn't really matter to me, but obviously, is a great government has in all time, great, like Margaret Johnson.
It's great.
And I could go back home until Liam did.
That's not.
But at the end of the day now, my goal is to keep improving.
Um, you know, I know things that like that don't come.
No, it's part of it.
But, you know, I have a gold in my head.
I e want to have fun and keep playing hard.
Computers ignite, help my teammates, uh, being a good place mentally physically, Um, and if for as long as I do that I'm gonna be good and things like there's gonna happen one day.
Maybe I'm gonna be number one.
And but it's gonna be It's gonna be, you know, it starts today.
Starts right now.
You know, it starts with the hard work you put today and the next day, in the next after that?
Um, yeah, it's a great compliment.
And hopefully my dad could be number one.
