 Yeah, you know, he was great obviously and made some big shots and plays Starting to see a glimpse of the things he can do scoring the ball You know it like I told the guys after the game where we're a game past the quarter mark. We've played You know an incredibly dense schedule. I think we've played more games than anyone in the league And guys were tired tonight. We couldn't buy a basket made had a lot of good looks Tired shooting the ball, but also tired in that we were a little stagnant against the zone after a really good performance against it the other night so You know overall just the fact that they they hung in there and that that James stepped up and made some big shots down the stretch Brian Lewis with the New York Post Brian you're muted Brian. You're muted. I don't know if you can hear me. All right, let's try out There we go Go ahead Brian. Okay You would talk earlier about you wanted to be wanted James to be more aggressive and you figured this was coming that it would happen Was this a matter of game flow and obviously Katie wasn't hitting some of the shots He normally was was that game floor did he make a conscious decision to get more aggressive James? You'd have to ask him, you know, I I give James His space offensively. I think I mean, he's one of the greatest offensive players to ever play the game so I Trust in him figuring out where he's at with his game and how he can affect the game He has so many things manipulating the defense that he's such a positive for us, even if he's not scoring, but We know how capable score is and you know, he got it going got a little aggressive Got a little bit of a role and made some plays and showed what a tough cover he is and you know That's that's obviously the place we want him to get where you know He's confident and has freedom to create and and is balancing scoring and playmaking Alex Schiffer with the athletic Hey, Steve, you mentioned the gas and bit of a slow start offensively makes as the game around you guys continued to improve Was that anything tactical is as simple as shots you're starting to go when you're kind with a bit of a slow start But uh No, it really wasn't tactical. You know, I think like I said the schedule's been You know, obviously very difficult Like I said, I think we've played the most games in the league You could see the mental and physical fatigue a little bit out there tonight We're a little bit stagnant the ball stuck a little bit more where our thoughts were a little bit slower and And you know, you added all up. We couldn't buy a basket I was proud of the guys for hanging in there and just finding a way to Give themselves time and and obviously Miami was exhausted, too So they they they didn't shoot them all well either and But the most important thing is that our guys found a way to Combat all those those ways that we could have You know found an excuse to lose this game. We and we kept plugging away. We guarded second half I think we gave up 40 points 14 in the fourth and uh, and then our offense kind of picked up at the end there but you know as One of those tricky games and like I keep saying, you know, we're going to see games like this throughout the season You know, we've seen all sorts of crazy scores crazy upsets A lot of people hovering around 500 and that's just the nature of this season And we have to be prepared to win some of these games when you know, you're you're not feeling it Greg Logan with news Steve did you uh Change anything defensively in the fourth period You got 10 straight stops during that 15-0 run Was that just because Miami was uh a little under man tonight or or did your guys step it up on defense? I mean the coaching was outstanding. Greg. I would say first of foot most um No, uh, you know, look, I think you had two tired teams out there and Our guys stepped up to the challenge when they were when they were tired I thought, you know, bam got going a little bit for a minute And then Jeff stepped up and really did a great job making a difficult form But the rest of the guys off the ball were diligent, you know, it's it's difficult with uh, Duncan Robinson flying around out there Um, we're having to be really crisp on our switches really crisp on our reads Back cuts and they do a good job off the ball. So You know, I all the credit goes to the guys the players because they have to step up We kept him very simple defensively and they did a good job down the stretch Bruce Beck with NBC new york Steve you have the top three scorers in the league in the fourth quarter What is it like to have that option and do you know who it's going to be on a given night or is it just kind of play out? Uh, you know, it's uh, that's well, it's the way this team is built We we we we went for it and have three great great offensive players So, you know, in any given night, it could be any one of them or it could be Joe Harris You know, it could be someone else. So Those guys also make each other and their teammates better by the attention they draw. So it's about trying to find that collective threat, you know by the ball moving by spatial Awareness and understanding and making each other Um better through collectively So, you know on on certain nights our guys are so capable of getting hot that it could be any one of them But uh, the idea is that it's not uh, it's his turn tonight It's that emerges and we welcome it, but it's we're going to play good basketball We're going to create good opportunities and we're going to step up and shoot the ball And if we create good opportunities more times than not, we'll be in a good position
