 coach Steve Nash as he addresses the media post game talking about this 50 West Coast swing. Coach of the five and all on a road to this never happened before in French and I sister and so you guys just just accomplished that feat given with the way that you guys have played you know what from your vantage point are you most proud of in the way that you guys compete. I think that's it is the level of competitiveness we show consistently through the trip. Now going back to the Indiana game we've competed very well scrapped but also our concentration levels have been high. I don't think today was was you know perfect by any stretch. There's lots of breakdowns but our hustle and overall desire I think carried us for stretches and that's the way it's got to be sometimes. What does it say that you you know as you just pointed out you guys weren't perfect tonight. You lose Jeff late you lose TLC a little bit early in the game. No KD but you still found a way to get the W and your 6th straight victory. Yeah positive for sure. I mean that's that's what it takes you know you got to win in different ways. Sometimes you're going to go through adversity obviously not having Kevin as a big blow but then TLC when we already were at eight man rotations tonight and then you know eventually Jeff so it's you know we put ourselves in a position to be able to weather those things made it interesting at the end but you know I thought over the course of the night playing well enough to win the game. Christian Winfield with the New York Daily News. Coach I'm not sure how many times we're going to see guys go down and then guys just find ways to win. I mean first you watch James win a game well not James you guys win a game with only James with Kyrie and KD out and then today you got Jeff going out TLC. I mean is this team kind of just built to I guess sustain itself despite players dropping in and out. I wouldn't I wouldn't go that far. You know I think it's you know you you don't want to build that as your model. So I think we show toughness. We show mental toughness and belief and connectivity by continuing on this trip no matter who was available or what the situation was down 24 Phoenix. Give up the lead tonight and are tied late. You know overall just show like that toughness that isn't non-negotiable if you want to be a great team and some of that toughness and resolve it has to be built. It's not just something you turn on. So you know I think that's what's really positive is just showing willingness to win in different ways and willingness to lock in and win games that look different on a night to night basis and that's important. Brian Lewis with the New York Post. I see two part one. I was just trying to see if you had any kind of clear idea on how TLC and Jeff were doing. And then secondly when you guys kind of flip the game in the second quarter you know you go from whatever was down six to up eight. What started working for you there? I don't have an update on those two. I think they're still being monitored and figured out what their diagnosis is. But you know I thought the stretch in the second quarter our defense picked up we came up 21 points I believe in the in the second quarter you know which was outstanding. We didn't turn the ball over in that stretch in big shots. But you know make or miss you know when you're able to hold a team like that that is shooting the ball so well and has incredible scores to 21 points in the quarter I think that that is the the foundation of going on some runs. So that was I think the the best part and then like taking care of the basketball helps our defense and also clearly helps your offense and then you had it all up we were able to separate a little bit by the half we were able to maintain that so nearly the end of the game and uh and help out.
