 How gratifying is the performance like this given what was at stake being at home in front of the fans the game plan and the execution? Yeah, now I thought it all kind of aligned. I thought the game plan was good. I thought our guys executed especially defensively. You know, now, you know, there is a little, you know, they're coming on the back to back. It's late in the season. And I think we had we had a lot of juice. You know, we had we had more juice to them. They've been playing great great basketball. So not to take anything away from our guys, but I think our energy level was was really high. You know, it was going to be a collective effort on Blake Griffin and Drummond, but for Blake to be one for 10 and to Rody to have the effect on the game that he did. How do you look at that match? Yeah, I think that I and him, you know, we wanted to limit Blake's touches. That was that was part of the game plan. I thought Rody did a great job executing that. Obviously, the steals. We didn't tell him to steal so many of them. We just said, you know, did I make him work? He's got a great, you know, Rody's got a great sense of anticipation. Had to get in passing lanes. I think that really, you know, threw off their timing his activity. Coach, you talked about pregame, the idea that you're a little bit ahead of schedule. Um, what's it took? Can you talk about the levels of winning in the NBA, right? Sort of winning early in the season versus now winning games that really matter? And then, you know, ultimately what winning playoff games are like? Yeah, I mean, I kind of, you know, they all count as one way, right? It doesn't I don't really think about when it when it happens in the season. I want to get carried away here, right? We're we're still, you know, a little over 500 and and, you know, listen, you look at this road trip. And the games we have, I'm not sure we're favored in many of them quite honestly. So we know we get a difficult task. We know we're, you know, average, you know, in that area, we're not we're not celebrating here. I think, you know, despite despite having a good win tonight. Kenny, if you leave aside the win or the loss, right? You're talking in terms of things like Rody making those steals, not just denying the ball and as part of an overall defensive effort. I wonder whether this redefined what you think the ceiling can be for this team defensively in a given game performance wise. What what I what I do see is Rody surprising us, you know, you know, you worry about, you know, the girth and strength at that position, you know, and your Blake Griffin and John Collins and you look at the fours in this league, especially the teams that play bigger, you worry about that. But, you know, what surprised me is how his, you know, kind of Rody's activity has kind of made up for that, you know, lack of strength quite honestly. And he's and, you know, part of the reason we wanted to move him to the four. And I thought he could because he rebounds the ball. Well, I don't know how many had tonight, but he can he can rebound his position. So I think that's we might have stumbled on that, that that's that's going to help us become a better team at that key position at the four. And, and, you know, conversion offense, he spreads the defense out and we can he's like a guard is a six nine, six nine and a half guard. So it's a it's a funky, you know, funky matchup for for other teams to match him. It seemed like tonight the defense was more into the players, not just the ball handlers, but denying is that was that just for this team? Was that something you've been looking for all year? No, I think that was part of the game plan. I think again, when you know teams coming on off a back to back, we knew our activity had to be at a high level. And, you know, we got Jared Allen back there. He's kind of our, you know, safety net. And so when we did that, I and they got a few back doors on us, but he was there to clean stuff up. And then, you know, I thought we did a good job rebounding to, you know, drumming drumming had, I don't know how many rebounds against us in the first two games. I think we controlled him. But yes, the activity was something we asked of our guys tonight. Coach, you kind of alluded to it, but you're going over against drumming and Blake Griffin, you outbounded them as a team. You outscored them in the paint by 30 points. That's got to be a surprise, right? Yeah, you know, like, yes. And I just think that's where our energy level is. And we had an advantage. You know, it's a scheduling advantage. There's no doubt about it. I don't think they were at their peak physically, but listen, you still got to do it, right? You still got to go out there and, you know, they were they were still charging and drumming was there. But I I like where it was swarmed as gang rebounding, you know, it was like five guys every time. Even if we didn't get it, we were around there and we struggled with that all season. So it was good to good to see that we showed some improvement tonight and putting you on the spot a little bit. What what would be a successful road trip for you? That's man, Stefan. That's a that's a tough question. I don't want to give you an answer. I just want to keep keep keep getting better. I know that's a weak answer. But when I start doing the schedule and count wins or losses, that's when I get in trouble. Coach, yes, I guess coming into tonight, this was about as close to a playoff game, playoff atmosphere that you've had since you've gotten here and sure for years before that. Talk a little bit about the atmosphere and really how you guys aced aced it tonight. That's a good question. I think our guys attacked it like sometimes, you know, when you're not used to these these kind of big games, quote unquote, you might be on your heels a little. But I felt like we were the more aggressive team. And, you know, the kind of says, well, we weren't afraid of the moment. That's for sure. So I liked how we attacked it. I liked how we were the more aggressive team. Definitely, you know, a good sign for us if we have more of these big games in the future. Can you just, you know, just jumping off of the energy issue, right? For as long as you've been the coach here, opposing coaches have come in and talked about you guys playing with energy and hasn't always been enough to win the big games when other teams come in with that energy. Do you feel like if you guys bring that now, you're at a point, talent wise, scheme wise, where you have a chance to compete with anyone? Good question. You know, I I think the energy where we we use you bring the energy. We use you bring the juice. I think that's that's a characteristic of this game. I think where we've made strides is we're smarter basketball team. I think we make better decisions. We understand our defensive schemes better. But but I think that, you know, you can't just have the energy in the competitive spirit, it's got to be both. So I think, you know, you have both of those aligned and we play. I thought we played smart basketball tonight on both ends. And I think that gives you a chance to beat the really good teams. Now, in a seven game series, that's something maybe we'll talk about down the line, but on one night you can do it. Thanks, everybody.
