 First game with Kevin and Kyrie together in a while, and you had 67 from them. What can you say about their performance tonight? Yeah, pretty typical of those two. You know, efficient, explosive scores. You know, I thought they did a good job playing off each other and keeping the thing moving and us playing as a team. And I thought there was a pretty good flow out there for the most part. And then just before that, that run in the second quarter, I mean Phoenix was pretty in control of the game. Just what do you think they were giving you guys the most trouble, whether it was Hayden, some of the switches, etc? Yeah, I mean, more than anything, Hayden had seven or eight offensive rebounds in the first half. And you know, that hurt us. But you could probably pick a few reasons. We weren't maybe as sharp early in the game as we were later. But we kind of grew into it and figured out, you know, I think some of the defensive patterns that we needed to get better at. And so we got better as the game progressed. But you know, there's probably a few factors as to why we fell behind early. Brian Lewis with the New York Post. Hey Steve, this is twofold. I mean, you mentioned Kyrie and KD being, it's a typical performance. But I mean, KD had been out hurt for a week. And Kyrie, I think it's fasting and coming off of four and 19. Are you surprised that they can be as efficient as they were tonight? All things considered, or is that cease to surprise you at this point? No, I mean, that's, that's, I think it's more normal that they're efficient like that than otherwise. You know, I think, you know, Kevin's shown that his scoring doesn't seem to get affected by a long layoff, whether it was coming off the Achilles or coming off the hamstring, he comes, seems to come right back in his rhythm and timing are excellent. So, yeah, I mean, it's very impressive for sure. I don't want to diminish how special they are. But you know, it's more, more the norm than I think the extraordinary for those two. And the second part was you had said before the game, you didn't anticipate Kevin playing 30. Granted, he only played 28. But I mean, it's part of that, just an admission that some minutes are heavier load than others. And the way he was playing, this wasn't a heavy load or did something change in there? You know, from, I think from the time I talked to you, I finally talked to performance. And we came up with, you know, 28 minutes. And that's kind of what we stuck to. Greg Logan with Newsday. And on that playing time situation, I mean, he played 20 out of 24 in the second half. So do you anticipate kind of a pattern like that going forward for a little while until he gets everything completely under him? You know, we'll see. I mean, I think we monitor it and we'll see if we start him next game or not. But, you know, that's the type of thing that we want to just continue and you'll have the flexibility to decide game to game. What's the best output for him? And what's the best order of the output? And, you know, tonight we just made sure, although he'd load up in the second half of minutes, he would have plenty of breaks. And, you know, he'd have the come out of the game with a break. He'd have the quarter break. He'd have timeouts. So he came out twice and had a quarter break in between. So we just tried to manage it that way. Christian Winfield with the New York Daily News. Hey, coach, you know, this is a really good Suns team, right? They're second in the West. And then on top of that, they come out East. And I believe they just beat Boston, just beat Philly, and just be another Eastern Conference team. So for you guys to come out here without James, obviously, with all the roster fluctuations that I've been in, to come out and beat these guys, what does that say to you about where your team is right now? Yeah. You know, really, I just, I look at it as where we are today. And today we performed. You know, we could have been better defensively, but a lot of good stretches. We created separation with our defense. And, you know, offensively, we were able to score. And so, you know, tonight it was good, lots to build on, lots of positives. But for me, it's never, this is where we are. It's where are we going? And so this is an indicator of what we can do well and where we can improve and continue to chip away and get better. So that, I don't ever really look at it as far as, you know, who we are, where we are. I look at is where are we trying to get to and how can we build off of this? Whether we win or lose, play well or bad. What was the lesson and what can we learn? Brian Mahoney with AP. Hey, Steve, no other NBA coach has ever thought to bring Kevin DeReyne off the bench. But just, I mean, is it hard to stick with the plan? I mean, like, when you fall behind 10-9, you're like, all right, let's get Kevin DeReyne in there. Is it easy to kind of stick to this because you aren't taking big picture, obviously? Yeah, two things. I think you think big picture. And I'd rather fall behind and have Kevin in the back pocket than go up and say, okay, Kev, you're done in the third quarter. So I think that's kind of the give and take of it. And he's been on board with it. And so, you know, props to Kevin for being willing to try something like this that I think gives us a chance to be as flexible as we can be under the circumstances.
