 Michael down the stretch just in what ways were you guys able to respond and close it out down it down it? You know I had to see I can go out of going just getting key stuff at the end and now make some plays office And that you know help how big was just Noah clown. He's playing What was it like to see him have a game like this coming off the bench at such as rookie year? Yeah, no He played really well, and I'm just understanding game, you know I'm sending a game plan and uh, you know, he has a good field of game You know, he knows how to play the right way knows just understands basketball really well You know really efficient too. There was a moment like in here giving him this the game ball and just how fun was it just to celebrate up a teammate? Yeah, just it's fun to see him get a little awkward when the tension is on him. So it's pretty cool to see that Does it speak at all? I mean and you guys obviously knew Playoffs standings and tragic number and all that does it speak at all to Chemistry and what you guys are trying to build in here that knowing the situation you guys Actually kept the focus on and did what you needed to do Yeah, sure, I mean we all care about each other, but any day you get paid to play 82 games So, you know no matter what the outcome is, you know, you shouldn't go out there and play hard every time you're out there So that's how I look at it. How do you guys make the most of these last five? Play hard and keep learning, you know keep sticking together keep playing together, and I'm just try to fight out Good wins Dennis was talking Monday about just how these games can help build you guys this culture So I guess for you what does that look like for you guys trying to you know build it for these young guys and for yourself really this culture Yeah, just um Just no learning, you know to play with each other out there and get more minutes, you know more time You know just cuz this season doesn't mean there's not more to come So just getting to learn each other even more, you know get a good feel and you know just prepare for next year What was it like though playing in the game where you can only control what you can control and focus on your team But also having to kind of still understand just how it would have played out with the playoff implications. Yeah I mean, it's tough. I mean just thought the year, you know, we should be playing better and You know, you kind of get a feeling start losing some games I was gonna go down but you know just you know My says you got there keep playing hard and keep trying to win, you know, that's pretty much the main thing Was there a point where you guys kind of felt like it was maybe spinning away from you guys more faster You maybe thought it would um No, I think just kind of we look up kind of far away Then probably the last real trip we won two in a row and then our Boston lost both those games to Lana Then that kind of hurt, you know, they were lost both for them I think we've only been like three games down and that's a whole different little momentum change But you know, I think them two L's Boston had against Atlanta kind of just hurt, you know Even though we won two in a row kind of just Kept us still at bay The defense in the second half switching a lot of the Halliburton Siakam actions It's really been a theme over the last month where the half court defense has been really good What's it like to be on a defense with that much length where you're flying around and getting stops as opposed to Yes, good, I mean, that's what you know, we was driving forward beginning of the year and um Obviously weren't that good defensively but uh, yeah, we knew the talent and the defense guys We have out there that we could cause havoc. So it's good
