 You know we weren't very good in the first half and that's that's credit to their defense My biggest fear against this team was is against the Celtics. Can you score against them? You know they I think they're just a great defensive team. We really struggled in the first half and then Got it going in the third quarter obviously D'Angelo I think you know we're getting stopped and we got out on the break and I think you know playing against their set defense is Very difficult so you have to get them you have to get them back You know in a transition situation where they're not set. I thought we did a great job of that I think that's how D'Angelo got loose. We had a couple guys, you know get to the rim a few times but also, you know just overall good defensive effort by us. It was a You know really good defensive effort in terms of intangibles. He talked about juice pre game Can you expand on how important that is from your players? But also with several games remaining being at home the juice that you're also getting from the crowd Huge because I didn't think we had the juice in the first half I said man we still have you know hangover from from that West Coast trip which happens You know, I felt like we're stuck in mud in the first half and I felt like the second half Obviously shots going in that boost your energy and and and we really You know really upped our energy level But hopefully we're kind of through, you know this recovery, you know from the from the West Coast trip Gave the guys a day off tomorrow. You guys don't have to come in either Brian Craig. You guys can stay home To enjoy a nice Sunday, but you know, I I think it's important We recover our legs and and you know, obviously, you know get ready for the best team in the NBA so far this year record-wise and and The way Dilo got it going in the third quarter He was so hot 20 points in seven minutes and 45 seconds Was there any thought of sticking with him the rest of the the quarter rather than the rotation? You know, I That's a that's always a tough one, you know and and You know I can tell you on the West Coast I had regrets that I left them out there for too long this stretch is too long I thought this game's gonna come down to the to the wire and we need to you know, keep him fresh for the for the end so You know, I'm not a big hot You know hot hand guy just stay with the hot hand. I'd like to stay with the rotations And you know unless extenuating circumstances and Greg you could say that was extenuated circumstances, but I Again, I checked myself because I felt like on the West Coast. I did that a few times I left them in too long and we paid for it at the end with with him being fatigued and And if I could ask also when he came back in the fourth quarter, did you like the way he kind of changed it up and played with the Past then yeah, because they were blitzing them They were all out blitzing them and the unique thing about the Angelo, you know, I was telling the coaches, you know He's he wouldn't when teams double him. He he can make passes that just a lot of guys can't you know Just as simple as that he knows how to get the ball out of the out of the blitz out of the double team as good as anybody I've I've seen really it's it It's amazing. He's got pretty good size and then he's just got such great touch with his hands and seeing people So that was key him changing it up and getting out of the double team Kenny simply put how much did you guys need this game today, especially with you know, Alan Kyrie out? huge, you know, it's just a huge you know Did I will say do you know this game? But we know you know all these games coming up or playoff games? It's just how we got to look at it. I Were in it You can't shy away from it. They're all playoff games, but it was it was important to get get this one Did Understandably you got some stops in that led you guys get up and down the court But I mean was there anything that you changed? Tactically either during that late run in the second quarter to get back into it or defensively or either yeah No, I think we mixed in the zone again tonight. I think it helps us You know, it doesn't help us every game, but you know tonight. I think it we mixed and match a little I you know, I knew they were you know on a back-to-back. You don't have time You know Brad didn't have time to put in his own offense, you know overnight It's it's it kind of that you know throws them off rhythm a little So I I do think that helped us and Rody which is yeah, you know, I think it's a bruise nothing, you know, nothing got knocked in the knee I think, you know, he'll get it looked at tomorrow. Hope he he'll be fine Coach after d'Angelo Russell got hot in the third How big was it for Kara Slavert to the pressure on them and get to the free throw line or attack the rim? Yeah, there was a stretcher where we're struggling to score I think, you know Spencer was a little out of rhythm and he kind of carried us and and he carried us defensively I especially in the zone, you know, he had three or four steals in that zone He's just he's just all over the place with his length and athleticism He kind of gave us that boost of energy that we needed and especially needed with that second unit and You know, I'm really liking how how how that second unit looks with him in it You know with tomorrow in the first unit definitely confirming, you know That that's that's a you know good way to go to finish out the season Thanks, everybody
