Adrian Griffin after win in New York: ‘The biggest thing was winning the rebounding game’

Good RN thought it was going to be a tough game and it was as far as physicality and but I thought we took the challenge tonight I think the biggest thing was winning the the rebounding game um I think 53 to 40 so I think that’s where

Um in keeping them out the free throw line Brunson three for three uh we did a good job uh I know he had 36 points but when you limit his free throws I think you got a good chance um so total team effort was good outing well Chris is rolling I like he

Felt you could tell he felt good out there um he was aggressive uh and when you see a player like that with his skill set you just try to uh leave him out there try to uh feed him and he was huge we needed him thought that was one of his best games

Uh that he’s played um and he’s played some really solid games but you know I believe he had five assists to go along with it uh scoring the ball so he played a complete game and uh defensively I thought he was solid and you know we he

Was switching on to Brunson switching on to Randle at times I thought he did a tremendous job so Chris was used for us tonight again his energy uh just his effort the way he impacts the game in so many ways the offensive re bounds the stretching the floor with his Corner

Threes and we could throw it in the post and uh just fighting his grittiness on the defensive end so um you know when he’s when the the starters are rolling and then you throw in BP to continue um you know maintaining the lead and maintaining our momentum you know BP is

The best at it so I thought he did a tremendous job I thought cam came in I thought our bench was solid cam came in defended ran the show hit some a couple buck is there it was just good to see him you know I thought you know he’s

Been playing well last game he had four assists but just havn’t been shooting it well but I thought tonight he he had it going for us and I know it’s tough for him you know he’s playing behind Dame it’s limited minutes but uh you know

He’s a veteran I thought he did a great job of kind of working those minutes thought Dre came in gave us some Second Chance opportunities so those you can’t never like undermine those type of plays that Dre makes uh just tipping it out giving us Second Chance opportunities

And just having a l out there so you know I thought everyone that came in the game tonight uh did a did a great job of bringing whatever it is that they bring uh to the game I thought they did a great job with that especially the last

Five six seven games or so has really been scoring having a big impact in that off season I said lately you done any adjustments anything more no I think a lot of it is uh you know managing the game a lot of times right you gotta put

A defender on Dame you gotta put a defender on Giannis uh you know sometimes they go small and they put a smaller defender on and and Bobby and so you’re just trying to look for ways to uh exploit some of the matchups and it’s tough no one you know can guard Bobby

Down there it’s tough to guard him one-on-one he has just uh great patience know how to get low knows how to use his uh strength and get to the front of the rim he’s hard to stop so uh we just want to take advantage of uh of all our our

We got great tools you know pieces on this team and we want to use them all um and so I you know that was probably a area I had to um look a little dive a little deeper into as far as like we we got Bobby down there like we can use him

And Brooke and a lot of times um you know I could do probably do a better job throwing Brook the ball down there too just just based on the matchups Bobby said after the game that he feels that the team is playing a lot of Swag and confidence right now now how

Does it feel for you to hear one of your players say that and is that something you would agree with and how do you beat off that no obviously um you know I I agree one 100% as far as I think your swag comes from the defensive uh you

Know approach and I think early on you know we were scoring the ball but we were still trying to find our identity on the defensive end but I think we we’re starting to always say you got to be strong on both sides of the ball and

I think a lot of times where our our swag is starting cuz we could score the ball but now you know we’re finding ways to get stops we’re finding identity I think um guys know what each other’s strengths are out there on the floor and they’re making a conscious effort to to

Defend I hear him talking in the locker room I hear him talking in timeouts about getting stopped so that’s really where your swag comes from where um you know you could you can get a stop you know when it when it means to most when counts the most I think we’re confident

That our defense is starting to carry [Applause] us
