Andrew, from ESPN, I come back like this is is big.

It's the biggest franchise history.

But what did it mean for you guys?

Especially considering the way the game ended on Friday?

Uh, you know, it was a big win for us.

Uh, because when we stayed true that we were we rallied back.

You know, everybody the coaches, players, ball boys, everybody was just engaged in, You know, all that.

We needed all the energy and go through Fletcher.

You can go ahead.

I apologize.

I'm sorry.

I guess if you could Mellie coach talked about the effort you get from a guy like that.

And even before this season, Kyra, we don't see behind the curtain.

But just how these guys stay focused how you all stay focused as a team to never lose confidence when when the number is called, Um, So I could go and let me go into detail about Mellie.

Uh, Mellie comes into work every day, and he's ah, Belly is a pro's pro.

Yeah, he's always doing things in a professional way.

And then Nelly is always like coaching me up on the sidelines, like because he's able to see some things that I can't see on the court.

He's always giving me, like, different reads and stuff when I come to the sideline and Mellie is just always ready.

So you see them come in and do that.

I mean, we really expect that for you.

What subsidies as well, from the athletic you talked before about how much it means to you when you kind of get that trust from the coaching staff and your teammates and big moments.

What was it like in that fourth quarter in O t for coach to play you the entire way and run so much of the offense through you, especially down the stretch when you guys needed baskets?

E mean, that means a lot to me, man.

Uh, that's what you know.

Every player puts it hard work for, you know, to be in those moments and no.

So we are bled coats.

Uhh, teaspoon.

Especially when she saw that I was kind of like, a little frustrating.

The first half, she came to me, give me a lot of words about confidence.

Yeah, I mean, it means a lot, you know, they're all looking at me in that moment like, Hey, we with you.

Whatever decision you make, we're with you on it.

So no, they have people like that behind me, man.

It means a lot.

A Zion.

Christian Clark Kerr.

I got two things.

First you guys help him to 21 in the fourth seven.

And over time, what did you just think about the defense you played down the stretch of that game?

I think it was just, you know, will they wanna win?

I mean, way just wanted to win.

And we don't want our go out like getting blown out in our own, Jim.

So no, we fault played hard, you know?

And it looks smooth at first, but, you know, we figured it out and we came through with W.

And I just wanted to ask quickly, too.

There was the play in overtime where I think Brandon scored the basket, um, at the rim.

And then you fed him for the three.

Just just what did you see on that play there where you set him up for the three.

You know, whenever I was in the pick and roll eyes the ball handler, not try to make the best read.

And I think in that situation, uh, after me get into the basket a couple of times, I just read that they were gonna collapse.

So as soon as they collapsed, I mean, Brandon's a knockdown shooter.

He was there, So I made the past.

And as I saw, you know, he's built for those moments.

Hey, Zain, can you just describe the the and one at the end of regulation what you saw what it meant to you to kind of be able to come through in a moment like that, Even though the game ended up going over time?

It's like I said questions three questions before that, Uh, you know, coming out the huddle, everybody was saying, Z, we're with you.

No matter what decision you make, we're gonna be there with you.

You know, I think Brandon was the last person I spoke to before we left the huddle on.

Brandon was just like, Hey, man, we know you're gonna make the right play, do you?

So hearing that from my teammates and my coaches are that's all the confidence I need.

Is it May?

Yeah.

What did you see just from that five man unit.

You all ran basically from the start of the fourth quarter, all the way through where you be.

I'm Ellie, Zo and heart.

Just what were you guys able to do to be so effective?

Uhh.

You know, we were playing hard on defense, and, you know, when we did make mistake's So, like I said, it wasn't smooth all the way through.

Uhh.

You know, we all encourage each other like, Alright, next play, right.

Don't stop playing hard because we make a mistake.

And I think ultimately, you know, that's what gave us the confidence.

The pull through.

Thanks.

I in.

We're all set.

All right, you guys have a good night.
