Head Coach Adrian Griffin Postgame Press Conference | 1.1.24

I guess I mean second unit scoring they had 70 to just maybe 13 for your group what what did and Rick kind of went with that group what what did you see from their second unit players that really allowed them no they they were excellent uh their their bench they really gave

Them a huge lift I think we had a couple leads there uh our starters were in know we um got the lead a couple times and and then you know we were not able to sustain it when um some of our starters went out the game and give them credit

You know they made um they made plays I thought you know we had some really good looks as well um tonight uh they just didn’t fall tonight so you know I thought we played like three great quarters um I think the biggest thing is the the second chance points we gave up

140 boards for 20 plus points you know I think that was um you know where the game is we had some really good defense possession we just couldn’t finish finish him off with a with a rebound so that really really hurt us um but again you know their their bench was you know

They were phenomenal um uh tonight but we got it quick turn around and uh we’ll make our adjustments and watch the film and get ready um for the next game um in in previous games against them we’ve we’ve asked you about their backourt more their in terms of their offense and

What their back can do offensively is there something do you think that they can do defensively against Damen in particular I I think including tonight he’s only like 15 to 60 from the floor I mean he hasn’t shot very well at all he doesn’t get to the line maybe as much is

There anything about their their back court what they do to him that maybe has made it tough well you know when we one thing they’ve been doing is when we take Giannis out and Dam is out there kind of solo sort to speak maybe with the the

Second unit they’ve uh tried to press and and double team him in the back quarter to take the ball out of his hands um you know that’s something we’ve you know worked on um but I think you know Dame has some good looks and they just just didn’t fall tonight you know

He has some for the most part has some really clean looks that he normally makes and um you know sometime the ball doesn’t fall and we just got to get ready for the next game he’ll he’ll be better just for you guys late I think

You’re tied at 101 with like 545 left 3 minutes later you’re down nine just what do you see in that stretch I think there’s a turnover from Chris a couple Miss threes and stuff like that just what do you see from your offensive ex final five just got to continue to

Execute and you know take care of the ball and you know make open shots we had some clean looks they just uh didn’t fall tonight and then um you know Hal Burton kind of got going um down the in the fourth quarter where he he made a couple of Pull-Up jumpers

Off the pick and roll and you know we try to switch it up goes Zone and mix it up a little bit and give herself a chance it just this is you know kind of reminds me of New York a little bit where the ball just uh doesn’t fall but

Have like really good looks and that that happens U tonight obviously they’ve thrown a bunch of stuff at Giannis throughout this season but it was really quick doubles every time he touched the ball on the post how do you feel like you guys handled that tonight great I

Mean I love this because this gets us ready you know this is how teams are going to play especially in the playoffs they’re going to double team them triple team so uh gives us always gives us the opportunity to get better and it’s something we we work on religiously I I

Thought you know Giannis had a triple double you know uh we we accustomed to teams playing that way um you know but when you know the fourth quarter when you turn it over it just gets a little bit magnified but for the most part man we we were making some

Really good plays when they were double teaming
