 over time Kyrie Irving with 27 points on nine of 24 shooting he striped six threes in this one to help the Nets get the win. Here's Kyrie post game. Hey Kyle what was you know San Antonio goes on their rally to close regulation. What was said in the huddle to regroup and go once again back on attack mode to start the overtime to close them out. Well we felt like we gave up that lead too easily and down the stretch just a few miscues few miscommunications just things that we want to clean up. So you know we got to take this one just like anything else it just I don't want to call it laziness but just our focus level wasn't matching the intensity in terms of where San Antonio was trying to get back in the game. I feel like we had the game on a regulation. I think we all can agree with that but you know sometimes nights like this take over time and I think it's been what 1920 years since we got to win here. So another history or another historical record out the window for our team which I'm grateful to be a part of you know so it's a great team team accolade coming to San Antonio and just getting the win. You obviously with the teammates are trying to build something special in Brooklyn when you look at a team like San Antonio and their you know years of success and what they've been able to do you know what do you draw from that as you and your teammates put your own stamp on building something special in Brooklyn. Well I think first and foremost you got to get credit to the leadership that they've established here in terms of that culture. You know San Antonio is known as a winning organization and that's exactly part of our goals here is to set that standard for years to come so the next generation that comes in you know understands an example of what a great team looks like you know hasn't established you know role playing culture but also we're very flexible and very understanding and then we have a standard of greatness standard of excellence it's just we want to meet that standard and I think every day we get a chance to prove that to one another so San Antonio is definitely one of those great teams as an example in our league that we can learn from and we'll continue to do so as long as pops at the helm and you know you got those five championships up there and hanging you know it's a reminder every time you step in San Antonio of what excellence looks like so. Greg Logan, Newsday. Kyrie two parts for me you did almost let it get away at the in the fourth quarter but overall when you look at this game it was such an improvement over the Mavericks game with the way you guys played defense and only five turnovers what accounted for that number one and then also secondly how big a role did Bruce Brown play especially in the second half for you guys. Yeah well absolutely you know I could agree with you know in terms of the difference in games but it really comes down to our execution you know I don't want to be cliche with that word execution because you know every team wants to have a high level of execution but for us we feel like our execution is when we're playing free and we're playing the right way and the balls happen and we're all feeling good about the pace that we're playing at you know other teams when they dictate the pace dictate the pace against us it you know it is hard to kind of adapt so we want to put our own mark on the game by staying physical and continuing to play the right way extra passes you know spreading back there's just no easy baskets and I feel like San Antonio got a lot of easy baskets night which is why I believe the game was as close as it was so we just want to continue to improve moving forward to this Houston game for all-star break Christian Winfield, New York Daily News. Hey Kyrie huge game from Nick tonight I think career high and points you talk about what you've seen from him behind the scenes that you that might have led you guys to believe that he was capable of this type of game. Well I mean being in this world there is you know you're always in the public eye anytime you go outside so you know behind the scenes for us is when we get to work on our games and be able to perform out there at a very high level and he's been hurt you know and I said it the last time somebody asked me about Nick you know for me I just want him to continue to learn continue to progress and what was separated him in the last few weeks is just his attentiveness and his focus and his commitment to getting on the floor and earning his playing time you know that's the big thing here is just earning your playing time we got a lot of great guys that could go out there and fill spots but Nick being the the younger guy sort of say you know we just want him to learn from the best of the best and what it takes to be the best of the best and he's he's taking the tools and applying it so you just want to continue to do well as well as the other guys.
