You guys we’re in pretty firm control of this game uh maybe till first three minutes of that fourth quarter when they pul head by one how are you able to uh kind of collect yourselves and make the plays you need to down the stretch to get this one pretty much just uh

Listening to coach and the staff pretty much and just staying locked in guys were up one colle got screen there 50 seconds left and then you made the layup can you walk us through a little bit of what you saw on that possession was on

You just kind of yeah I mean just came off the screen seeing uh still had dude on my left and then Collins on the right and then just made a spin move and made a play uh Lela you had it looked at some point like you were kind of flexing your

Wrist or something out there or I don’t know what was but then you just hit a whole bunch of shots in a row did you have any injury concerns injury concern no I I was cool just playing you you you were very efficient shooting um did your three-pointer feel any different than

Normal or I guess did you feel better than usual actually no I kind of I ain’t no coming into the game I was a little tired I mean cold outside just got done for being sick a little so no not really just playing for real what about playing

The first home game you had in two months first home game I think it was the first home game we had we played here in about two months oh damn yeah I I ain’t even know that so a lot of stuff is take in right now I mean

It’s just after the game I’ll be kind of tired and stuff so yeah I I ain’t even know that what do you take away from this game to try to string some wi together going forward yeah pretty much what you just said I mean take one and try to get

The next one and hopefully put some wins together I want to make sure I get this right um fourpoint game in the second quarter with four minutes left you guys after your three extends to an eight-point game third qu two-point game could a timeout extend it to 12 you just

Talk about how big it was to close those quarters how you guys did yeah pretty much just you know closing quarters is always big I mean for any team you know so you always want to do that extra little push and just try to get a good closed quarter and that’s pretty much

What was happening all the starters ended in double figures can you just talk about the balance attack that came on offense with you guys tonight yeah everybody was just playing together you know getting in the lanes creating for others uh the help was there with a kick so it was just good basketball

Like in a pretty different Zone in the fourth quarter there what about that what were you doing um to get the team to go right direction yeah pretty much like you said just just was trying to get the win and pull it out for real so just doing

Everything you could Broner back tonight what do you think he to the team and how much did you miss when I mean sh speak for itself he 69 athletic could defend shoot run get out so um I mean whenever you don’t have that you going to feel it

So just having that back smooth last coach mentioned the three-point defense a little bit how you guys uh try to improve that to make sure teams arting yeah pretty much just doing our coverages and listening everybody staying lock me in me I know you guys miss Nick Richards and Mark Willams can

You talk about having PJ at the five in the floor spacing that he gives your team right I mean previous years being here I mean p played the five so he definitely know how to play the five I mean we we know I play small ball too so
