Jacque Vaughn on why the Nets didn’t take a timeout in overtime

WERE GOING TO OVERTURN THAT CALL, SO I LOOKED ATE. >> Meghan: THEN AFTER THAT WHAT WENT INTO NOT CALLING A TIMEOUT? >> YEAH, 11 SECONDS ON THE CLOCK, WE HAVE SHOOTERS ON THE FLOOR, A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM NOT TO SUB. THEY KEPT HERRO IN THE GAME. WE TRIED TO ATTACK HIM.

AND TURN THE CORNER. REALLY GOOD DEFENSE BY JIMMY BUTLER. WE GOT A SHOOTER SPOTTED UP IN THE LEFT CORNER, ROYCE IS PEELING AT THE TOP AND CAM THOMAS IS OPEN IN THE RIGHT CORNER. I DON’T THINK I’D BE ABLE TO DRAW ANYTHING UP BETTER THAN THAT, NICKING THE DUNKER AND

OFFENSIVE REBOUND, SO THE PITTING WAS PRETTY CLEAR FOR US USE THOSE 2 — 11 SECONDS, GOOD DEFENSE BY THEM. >> BIG PICTURE, I MEAN FROM THE WAY YOU GUYS DEFENDED IN THE FIRST HALF, TO THE WAY YOU DEFENDED, I’D SAY SECOND HALF BUT PARTICULARLY THIRD AND FOURTH QUARTER, I MEAN IS THAT

IN YOUR MIND BIG PICTURE WHERE THIS GOT AWAY MORE THAN, YOU KNOW, THE MINUTIA, ONE PLAY OR TWO PLAYS? >> YEAH, FOR SURE, BRIAN. I THINK IF I COULD PINPOINT TO ONE THING, EVERYBODY TIME WE DIDN’T COME AWAY WITH A 50-50 BALL WE PAID FOR IT. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ONE AT THE

END PROBABLY 40 SECONDS TO GO, THERE’S A LOOSE BALL AND HERRO ENDS UP SHOOTING A THREE. BUT I THOUGHT OVERALL, YOU KNOW, USING OUR PRACTICE DAYS PRETTY WISE LIGTENBERG’S I THINK WE SCRAMBLED FOR EACH OTHER TONIGHT, TO KEEP THIS TEAM UNDER 100 POINTS WITH OVERTIME. SHOWS OUR CAPABILITY.

BUT YOU GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR CONTINUING TO JUST PLAY, WAIT THEY RESPONDED IN THE THIRD QUARTER WAS A BIG MOMENTUM SHIFT FOR US. BUT WE RESPONDED, SO OVERALL SOME REALLY GOOD THINGS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU SHOOT 12 FOR 55 FROM THREE. AND HAVE A ONE-POINT GAME. HOPE WE DON’T GO 12 FOR 55 AGAIN.

>> JACQUE, IN THE THIRD QUARTER WHEN THAT 16-POINT LEAD STARTED TO EVAPORATE WAS THERE EVER A THOUGHT TO GET CAM BACK IN THE GAME A LITTLE SOONER? >> CAM? >> THOMAS. >> THOMAS. I KNEW I HAD RODE HIM FOR 10, 11 STRAIGHT BEFORE THAT, AND THAT I WAS GOING TO PROBABLY

GO WITH HIM IN THE FOURTH. YOU KNOW, IT BECOMES INTERESTING, CJ, WITH HIM NOT STARTING AND GIVING THAT FIRST GROUP, USUALLY THAT’S LIKE A 8-MINUTE STRETCH, 7-MINUTE STRETCH, THEN HE FINISHES THE FIRST. A LOT OF TIMES I LET HIM RUN THAT ENTIRE SECOND. JUST MANAGING THOSE STINTS CONSECUTIVELY, AND WITH HIM

NOT STARTING, IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO PLAY THOSE BEFORE HIM, ALSO HAVE HIM START AND HAVE A GOOD STRETCH. BUT I KNEW THE WAY THE GAM
