 I mean sometimes you got to find a way and and I thought our defensive effort was good, but you know take the third quarter out. I thought overall our defense was much much better. After how Wednesday ended how happy were you for for Kyrie hitting big shots and emotional after his first. Yeah it was a heck of a step back he hit on on the right side it was it was some shot. Yeah happy happy for him. I thought he played really well again really well. After some of the issues that the bench had in the first game I mean was it encouraging to see them bounce back a little bit in this game. Yeah I think we tweaked some minutes there subtle tweaks I you know but it's more the guys playing well at the road he snapped out of it. I thought he played well and the Wabba was good again solid. I thought Deandre I thought Deandre was really good and so great you know really good job by the bench. What was your thinking? I think LeBert didn't play much down the stretch. I just felt comfortable with Spencer and more from a defensive standpoint. I thought you know Spencer is one of our our our better defenders so I just just felt it when we went with our gut. Coach earlier into training camp you said that you wanted Torian to take the responsibility of being the team's defensive stopper. What did you think of the way he competed out there tonight? I thought he did a heck of a job with this post defense and uh you know he's not 6'11 but he's he's pretty strong and and uh did a you know that was one of our current concerns coming in here with with Randall and Port as how strong they were they post us up but I thought he led led the charge with this post defense. Kenny how do you balance coaching toughness and grit without racking up 26 personal fouls? No we have to uh how should I say this there's a lot we have to work on just from a uh I thought there were a lot of mental mistakes a lot of a lot of silly fouls um a lot of you know general breakdowns that that happened in the middle of the season but it almost almost cost us uh you know even though we won the game we will we'll have another long film session to look at look at all the mistakes we made we made a lot. Kenny when you guys had that big run at the end of the first quarter into the second I think you had Laverne playing alongside did what would would you like about that combo in the back court and wouldn't it work so well? We looked at the numbers and saw those two play pretty well together um you know um so that was that was a little bit the foul process you know take Harris out earlier uh and then bring him bring him into second you know at the end of the first and then um they're a good combo together. When you uh you know 17 for 25 from three point range tonight for the next uh are you having issues you know just covering the three point line do you think? I'm just glad we didn't give up 50 attempts like like we normally do this season so listen they shot the lights out of it I I I do look at the attempts over the makes I mean um there's some guys we we cheat off of and and you live with those those trees but uh give them credit they they did a heck of a job shooting the ball but I'm again uh more pleased we didn't give up a lot of attempts tonight
