 All of Kyrie Irving just spoke to the media after his 34 point night, let's listen in. Kyrie, I know you have an appreciation for every opportunity you have to step out on the floor. But given your history growing up watching the Nets, how special are Nets' NICS matchups to you? I mean, as a kid, obviously New Jersey versus New York, that was a big thing. Whether the NICS were a continental airlines arena or New Jersey was at MSG, now that Brooklyn versus New York, kind of the whole entire area, a lot of people. I see on Instagram and Twitter, on media outlets, just New York, New York versus this whole big thing. But I think as players, we feel it naturally. But obviously being from here, it's a little bit of a different sentiment because I got to go home and actually be around NICS and Nets fans, it's my family. So it's basketball, it's competition, it's a world sport. So it's just nothing but respect. But obviously you want to come out here and just have fun going against New York NICS. They've been playing well this season, so well coached team and just appreciate the opportunity. We're going to get more into the game, but I want to jump ahead to Wednesday real quick. Knowing all that Karris has been through since the trade, I'm not sure you're looking forward to seeing him back out in the court and competing against him. Man, just honored and humbled, obviously, to call him a friend, call him a brother. Wish nothing but maximum health and success, love him. My family loves him. So going back and seeing him is always an honor, like I said. And it's even better to go and compete against him because I know he's going to give us his best. And that's what we want. But obviously what he's been through, just nothing but prayers from me and my family, obviously from the Nets and everyone around the world. We wanted to see him get through what he was dealing with. And I'm happy to see him back out there. I went home straight after the game the other night just to turn on to watch his debut. Because it's just so close. It's just family. So I just want to see him do well. But we're looking forward to going to Indiana and playing against a good team too. Brian Lewis, would you host? Could you take us through that last defensive stand, the play that you made to get the travel on Julius? Yeah, no, I was either going to foul early. But I saw him lining up for a jump shot. I thought I could get a good hand on it. Scott called travel. I thought Julius made a good play afterwards, putting down. I was going to foul him after that just to get him to the free throw line. But yeah, that's how I looked. That's how I went. Christian Winfield with the New York Daily News. Hey, Kari, do you at all feel the energy in Barclays when it's a game like this and there's fans in the arena? And do you at all feed off that energy that you get from the fans? I mean, I've been playing basketball practically my whole life. So getting a chance to go in front of playing in front of fans or anybody that's supporting the game and want to see players playing hard and competing at a high level. And that are respectful to all the players and all the professionals that are out there. That's what I thrive in, is just being able to go out there, prepare the right way, give all the blessings to Allah, to God, whomever you call God, as well. No disrespect to anyone else. But for me, before I go out there, I'm just in a meditative state. And I say my prayers, and I'm just honored to go out there and just go and compete. Whether there's fans there or not, same thing for me. I enjoy the game the same way, because when no one was there watching me work out or watching other guys work out, we had to find some type of motivation. But when the fans are in the building, it definitely adds a little bit more of an emotional atmosphere. And as players, we naturally feel it. So just try to thrive on whether people are there or not, stay motivated. Alex Shiffer with the Athletic. Hey, Kyrie, you guys had the double-digit lead in the fourth quarter at the next start, the trip away. What do you think allowed them to get back in the game? Well, I think it adds on to Christian's question in terms of the fans getting into it and just staying motivated. We were obviously up double digits. We felt like we had the game closed out, but they kept coming. The momentum shifted, flow of the game shifted as well. They started getting to the free throw line, got into the bonus. We played the second, third, and fourth quarter, I think, in the bonus pretty early. So whenever the game gets mucked up like that, you got to make some defensive holes. But I feel like they just kept coming at us. They just kept coming at us. And that's why it went the way it went, just this prolonged ending to a game where we feel like we should have closed them out early on in the fourth quarter and then been on cruise control. But you got to give credit when credit is due, they kept coming.
