Adrian Griffin after Bucks loss: ‘We got off to a poor start in the third quarter’

Adrian Griffin after Bucks loss: ‘We got off to a poor start in the third quarter’

No he’s a well he’s a good player right he makes some some tough shots uh at the end he he kind of got going and hit some deep threes but overall I think we did a pretty good job you know we uh for us I thought it was just uh the turnover so

You know I challenged the the team before the game about our rebounding we held them you know under uh single digits I think seven maybe um so our guys I thought we fought we we kept competing um I just thought the the turnovers really hurt us uh just the

Timing of it and how we were turning the ball over didn’t give us opportunity to even try to get back you know they were just like Point Blank at The Rim um I think that was where we we you know got to be strong with the ball we got to

Make great decisions with the ball I thought that’s where you know that third quarter especially how we started the the third quarter and gave up 47 points U but overall you know like halber is going to score he’s going to get some points uh you know they got a very good

Team but um I thought we we gave ourself a chance but you it’s hard when you you know turn the ball over when you’re talking about doing a pretty good job against what do you feel like you are doing a pretty good job against because when you look at the numbers it would

Suggest that maybe you weren’t doing a good job yeah I mean just the the last couple games that we’ve you know played against him you know the P his pick and roll um kind of frequency is uh has been lower um you know they they Thrive off

Of him and you know I thought our guys like he’s going to make some tough shots and you know he had a couple of ioses where he’s going to shoot him uh from deep but you know outside of that um you know you can’t foul him either and I

Thought we we uh fouled him a couple times and put him to the free throw line but you know overall it it was it was pretty solid like he’s you know good players just hard they’re they’re hard to stop and just kind of how they get

Their points um Meed to there with the turnovers but 47 points total in the third that’s not just you know the handful of turnovers so what in particular happened especially early I think they started on a 20 20 to6 run and really took yeah we you know we came

Out a locker room we just uh kind of out of rhythm um you know I start thought our starters played well up to to that point you know I had the starters in and we just uh got off to a very poor start in the third quarter and then we were

You know playing catchup you know we you got to execute you got to take care of the basketball you got to be able to get stops um you know they they’re a very uh energetic a athletic young group they you know they fly around that they’re very uh athletic from all their

Positions and you know we got to neutralize some of that with our physicality without fouling um but you know we we kept competing um we didn’t give up um you know you learn a lot from games like this and and we’ll just continue to get better what do you feel

Like you’ve learned about this te against well you know they they going to the way they play right that you know they play Fast uh we have to be very disciplined in transition um you know with our schemes and and whatnot you got to execute at a

High level I won’t go into too much detail about you know opportunities for us uh in the future you know if we play them uh in the playoffs or whatnot um but you know you always Gathering Intel and I like some of the stuff that we

Were doing I thought Mar John was great Off the Bench I thought Dre was great um it was a opportunity for our younger guys to get out there and play in a very uh physical High intense game it was playoff atmosphere and I thought they

Handled it well so um we can get better uh we know that you know there’s always room to get better and we just got to keep plugging away you know it’s we got to get ready for San Antonio it’s a quick quick turnaround [Applause]
