 I felt like I said pre game that I thought our defense it slipped a little and I'm glad the guys responded I thought our defense was was excellent all around so credit credit to the players or for Kind of bounce him back from that Houston game where like I said before the game and I didn't think we were we were sharp defensively And the third quarter and talked about third quarters before as well 41 points. What was the difference there? Well, yeah, that's where you're like, you know You know in a decent first half and you know to struggle and that third quarter is gonna decide, you know where the game goes So again, we made it we made shots to that that helps a ton, you know, I think we scored 41 points In the third quarter and then kept our defense sharp and and you know like we talked about before the game now You know closing it closing a really good team out. That's that's that's the tough part So I thought we were handled that with a plumb. I thought we were You know really good to finish it out Even when you have played well defensively as a team usually forcing turnovers, though is not It's not your forte. It's not the way the defense is I mean have you made and I know you addressed a little bit in camp But I mean have you made changes in that endeavor to try to get More turnovers and is that some of that what you saw today or were they just not as crisp over on the other end as they normally would No, I you know, I think I think having rendez back in the lineup that that helps a little bit You know, you have your more active players like that. I thought generally, you know We went from a low activity game Against against the Rockets to we're just much more active Like it's hard to judge whether that was some of that was on them or us It wasn't any scheme change. It wasn't anything we did differently. Yes, it's something we talked about Before the season, how can we you know be a little more active and and and cause a few more turnovers Which out without extending our defense too much. So It'd be interesting to look on film how all those turnovers happen, but definitely aren't we at a higher activity level Two things about him bead First of all, what did you do in the second half to contain him? I think he only had three points in the second half And how did you adjust? You know, it seemed like people were Throwing up unnatural shots when they're trying to go to the rim early And then it seemed like you adjust and put it put together a couple of runs Yeah, well, I think the you know first strategy was try to run them You know run they played yesterday and and and try to get too well in an up-and-down game And I thought Jared kind of set the set the tone with that and and you know that that's kind of our advantage You know we didn't I thought that pace, you know going back, you know having an up-and-down game I think that helped them. I don't I'm not sure if it fatigue him, but that was that was part of the idea I also think we did a We did a pretty good job crowd in the paint and helping I think in the you know first quarter We left we left our guys out on the island a little bit I think we we we brought more help to the ball and you know took a little risk You know, you know giving up some trees, but I thought we did a good job crowd and crowd and him There was a play in particular in the second quarter where Karris Levert, you know, God by his man Made a layup. You were really excited I wonder if you sort of realized how excited you were in that moment and you know, what did you overall? You know how what have you seen from him so far this season? Well, I get funny I thought he set the tone defensively with this activity. I thought he was all over the place I thought he's getting deflections He had a you know great rebound in the in the second quarter We came across the court and grabbed it and you know kind of talked to him before the game that you know The challenge for him is to be really good on both ends like we just don't want him to be a one-way player like you know You know, he's got a lot of talent. There's a lot of responsibility that comes with that, but I was really You know really pleased with his defensive effort. I thought he's I thought he's really good on both ends and just excited that Excited probably that he drove the ball that you know that we didn't settle for a for a contested shot and drove it and got to the rim That was can't remember the particular play, but that's what I think think Teams that switch a lot like Philadelphia. That's sometimes where you get into turnover trouble. You only had nine today What was the key to limiting him today? Yeah, I think we had a nice balance between you know when we got that mismatch on the switch We drove it and and and got to the rim And then you know when we didn't you know like the the mismatch or we didn't hold it I thought we kept we kept moving it and and that helped to help break them down a little bit But and better this decision-making overall especially in transition, you know Sometimes we get a little too fast and we make you know make some some, you know unnecessary Bad decisions on the break. So I thought we kept our pace high, but we we made good decisions on the break We've talked about Ron they just kind of building him back up on the almost 30 minutes tonight 21 points And you talked about the game being very active. Did he fuel that did he take advantage of it? Because it's it's kind of game, right? Yeah, yeah fueled yet I I agree it it was on both ends. I thought defensively he was he was good and then again He he got out and transition and and and took it to the ramp. That's his elite skill You know his elite skills driving it and and get into the free throw line and being a defender defender rebounder so I thought he kind of stayed in his his his role and Really helped us a lot tonight Kenny in the second half D'Angelo picked up his play I was curious what you saw from him that changed and Was there anything that you feel like he can carry over from that going forward as you mentioned the pregame talking about Consistency and whatnot. Yeah, no, I think Yeah, yeah now the challenge for him is to do it do it on this road trip and back You know keep keep doing it. I do think are the flow of our offense and the fact that we got out more We got out more and transition. I think that helps him You know sometimes when we get stagnant in the half court, they lock into us. They lock into him They they get into him, but I thought we did a great job With our pace and then and then getting him free in flow and and I thought that was a difference tonight and and this is the second kind of a bounce back when you had the one against the Pistons and this one So what does that say for the team being able to come up with these big wins? You know this at this point in the season. No, I think listen I think that's I have tremendous respect for that team over there and a coach and and how good they are How talented they are so it's it's a very good win for us and and You know, we could have we could have hung our head after after after Houston and that that was a tough loss for us And in the first half, I don't think we were tremendously sharp either So I was a you know a little concerned like oh man This is this little bit of a hangover from the Houston game and then you know like you guys said the third quarter We came out and and really busted it and a Very good win for us and now you know this road trips this road trips important, you know, we got a you know We have some winnable games and and it'd be important for us to bond on the road and and Continue to progress. Thank you. Thanks everybody
