 They were the ones looking to drive the ball. They were looking to step in in threes, and they got themselves going. And so they took the momentum, they had their crowd with them. They started to feel a little confidence for the first time in the three games, and we didn't get enough stops. Brian Lewis with the New York Post. This is two-fold, Steve. When you guys had tied it up on those KD free throws at 75, the game is there for the taking. Are you surprised or disappointed at your guys' defense at that point? I think you hit, let him hit like seven and eight or something like that. And do you think the second question is, do you think the crowd here played any role in Kyrie? It looked like you had a hard time getting started in first half. I don't think the crowd limited Ky. Yeah, I don't think so. But yeah, you know, I don't know about this point. I just think we all feel like we could have played better defensively. You know, we didn't get stops when it mattered. And from large portions of the game, you know, we gave up 125 points. So it's just too many big quarters for them that, you know, high 20s or 30s, all four quarters, you know, not a great performance. But it could be good for us. You know, we so knew for us to face the adversity to go through some of these battles and challenges to pick ourselves up and and look over some things tomorrow and come back on Sunday. Tom Dowd, Brooklyn Nets dot com. Steve, just curious where you saw in the offensive and obviously, you know, Harden and Durant scored a ton for you tonight. I'm just curious about the offensive rhythm beyond that. Yeah, you know, I thought for big portions, we got a little stagnant. You know, we got away from our movement, you know, I thought, you know, James was scoring in isolation. Kevin was scoring in isolation, but, you know, I still think that, you know, we can be more difficult to guard in general. If we if we move the ball and get to isolation as a second resort, you know, again, like I said, we got to learn from this, take something from it. How can we refine what we're doing and add this to our experiences? Christian Winfield, New York Daily News. Hey, coach, just not having Jeff out there. How did that impact the game? And then did that play a factor in how Tristan Thompson was able to dominate the offensive glass? And I remember you saying that Jeff's absence would create more time for Nick. What did you think of Nick's performance? And do you think that maybe DeAndre might be up for some minutes since he might be a guy who can help contain Tristan like that? Yeah, I mean, I don't know that Jeff is his strength. This is going to be keeping Thompson off the glass, but we certainly miss his versatility, his ability to play multiple positions, multiple roles. You know, Nick had an up and down night young player trying to kind of figure it out in a big moment. But you know, that's that's going to come for Nick. We we believe in him. We want to support him. You know, anyone can play for us. You know, you look down our bench, we believe in trusting all these guys. There's probably not enough minutes to to go around. But you know, we can always push different buttons and play different guys. And, you know, that kind of happens from from, you know, judging the flow of the game standpoint, you know, Conor, New York Post. Steve, I think obviously a lot of people felt like entering tonight. You guys were in complete control of this series. And I'm just curious if you're concerned at all that you gave the Celtics a reason to believe by by allowing them to win this game. And and if so, why and if not, why not? No, I mean, we definitely are going to have belief now. They got to, you know, I got kind of went at home and we're able to stop the momentum after playing two games in Brooklyn. So no big challenge for us. We got to come out and be sharper, be better at both ends of the floor and try to slow them down and execute offensively.
