 the performance that he had it goes over twenty thousand for his career twenty one tonight how big was he in the second half yeah I mean he was great you know obviously scored when we needed it but also you know stuck to the game plan and defended rebound you know made the plays we needed and that was a you know really important performance and to cap it off you know he went into twenty thousand which is incredible territory and a testament to what a player what a career he's had I got to just you guys come back from 16 down and once you guys got control of the game it seems like they they were tough to put away just what do you think allowed you guys to chip away at that lead and what would made them so hard to put away well I think chipping away the lead we gave up 38 points in the first quarter and in about the first 14 15 minutes of the game we gave up six offensive rebounds for layups you know it's it's not good enough but when you hold them to 60 the rest of the way the last three quarters you got a chance to win and you know we didn't turn it over in the second quarter but in you know laying the game we just turned it over too much we're careless with the ball didn't get into actions quick enough and allowed them to hang around just took a miss mixing and matching the front coming seem like Paul and L.A. played really well alongside each other just what would you say to that combination yeah it was good I thought that Paul was really good making plays getting out of pick and rolls and putting on the floor and either getting to the basket drawing fouls or or continuing the action on L.A. obviously was great in this pick and pop game and got a couple offensive rebounds as well so you know that they were you know really important tonight coach of sevens aren't always from K.D. and another four from from heart and just what do you make of that are there any commonalities in you know previous games to tonight or I mean you know guys are going to turn it over you know it happens it's the careless ones we want to clean up but the ones where we're being aggressive that's okay that's going to happen Steve it felt like he got Bruce on the roll a lot more tonight and even what he doesn't finish when he kicks out how much is that action kind of you know mess up the defense and open things up for you guys yeah it's great you know they're gonna you know try to corral James in those situations and Bruce got a such great quickness and feel getting it out of pick and roll situations and then you know he gives us another element being able to get the ball in the paint through his role so I thought he was really important to us as well I gave us another layer and dimension their bakes did a good job coming up on picking roles but with Bruce he was able to get in and out quickly and and play make Steve you talked about still trying to figure things out I'm wondering as far as a finding that third scoring option with Kyrie out do you think that's something that will be done by committee or is it something where someone's going to develop into that like maybe Lamarcus I think it'll probably be a bike committee you know depending on matchups and games you know we got a lot of really good shooters that aren't making shots right now lots and and they're gonna they're gonna make shots so I think once we you know kind of get that that that runway under our belt where we get a feel for one another and we gain some confidence and some clarity I think the shots will go in and that will be you know by committee the third score but some nights for sure it'll be one guy you know has a big night in the next it's another so you know we we're not shooting the ball the way we're capable of yet but you know that's gonna come
