 led to 25 points for the Wizards. Let's hear from head coach Steve Nash. What were you seeing on the defensive side of the ball? I know the Wizards have two great-store scores, but what were you seeing on the defensive side that allowed the Wizards to hang around and give them a chance to steal it? You know, that was basically the message after the game. Gave up 149 points, 72 points in the paint, 48 points in the fourth quarter. 17 turnovers didn't help, but, you know, the defense just wasn't good enough. And I think everyone realizes, you know, we obviously had many opportunities to win it down the stretch at the end of the game there, but probably didn't deserve it the way we guard it all night. So frustrating night, and our level dropped, and we got to pick it up. Is that drawn up for that last offensive possession? TLC had to miss, but was it just a good basketball play on his cut? Was that the idea going in? What were you looking for? Yeah, we had Kevin on the block there. He had his ISO or Kai coming off, and they flooded Kevin. So we knew that he had a cut, and somebody had the cut, Kai, and he got it and got a wide open one and just wasn't able to finish. Malika Andrews with ESPN. Steve, when you look at that, I guess the second to last sequence where Bradleyville hits a three, Inbound passes stolen, Russell Westbrook hits a three, where are you looking at as the biggest breakdown in that sequence? It's an unfortunate moment, and Joe just threw it in, and Kevin was cutting the wrong one. We're cutting in different directions. So it's just an error, and it happens. But when you give up 149 points, that's one error in about 50 defensive lapses. So you're not good enough defensively, and we can look at the miss layup or the turnover for the three there, but we shouldn't have been in that position. We had a big lead early, and we let them stay around a long, long time until their confidence grew. They're a desperate team looking for a win, and we gave them a chance and gave them life. Brian Lewis with the New York Post. Hi, Steve, maybe not quite to this extent, but I mean, this has been a reoccurring issue where you guys have faced some teams with, quote, lesser records, and you've had big leads and blown them. I mean, is this a case where you think, you know, people, they know where the standings are. They know where DC is, and they just kind of took their foot off the gas and thought that this was over? You know, it's hard to argue with that perspective. You know, it's kind of, it's a little bit intangible, but it definitely felt like, you know, we, we, you know, it didn't, it didn't mean enough to get stops. Maybe we thought we had it in the bag, but you know, too many times, we let them waltz right down the lane and get layups, and they're a good offensive team. I'll give them that. They spread the floor with shooters and they have guys that can get to the rim, but, you know, our level dropped and we let too many guys get to the rim to the tune of 72 points in the paint and that is one way to lose a game for sure. Alex Schiffer with the athletic. Hey, Steve, talking about that 18-point lead early on, is there one thing in particular that you kind of thought led to them getting back in it and obviously the snowball coming from there, whether it was the turnovers or just the defensive collapses? Both turnovers, I thought we turned it over a bunch when we had the lead or when we could have had a bigger lead even. You know, just allowed them to hang around, give them some confidence. They scored a 149 and they missed a bunch of threes that they are very capable of making. So, you know, it could have been worse, but you know, I think we just let our foot off the gas, thought we were gonna win and that's a dangerous game to play. Christian, when field with the New York Daily News? Coach, when you, I guess tomorrow, when you go look at film, is there gonna be any one area that you're looking for defensively or is it, you know, just like where are you gonna look tomorrow to kind of get things back on track? You know, the most important thing, I think, is individual pride, you know, making every possession count and mean something. I think too many possessions didn't mean enough to us tonight. We gotta sit down in a stance and guard and make it difficult. And if we can cut out, you know, three or four of those pain attempts or baskets, you know, we win the game, but I mean, you'd hope you can clean up all heck of a lot of them and, you know, I think more than anything, it's just a little bit of pride, a little bit of, you know, desperation to guard the ball and keep them out of the pain.
