Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Post Game Locker Room Interview vs. Celtics 🎙

Coach was very complimentary of your defense on Jason Tatum particularly in that second half that final possession how much pride do you take in that matchup and how did you execute it tonight uh I take a lot of Pride just just not even just my match up just just

Defense in general um but you know Jason Tatum great player Allstar uh man he it was a great challenge tonight uh and for me I love challenges so uh just stepping up and and being able to to contain him a little bit and then just get the stop

At the end you know it felt great to me Take Me In inside your head in that final possession when he catches that ball uh well I thought the first out bround play was going to him uh but it didn’t but I knew the second one was um

And me just crowning him uh and and being tough in that uh that low post and being able to get a contest uh was good um mean kind of just fell short when he when he missed so uh I think he was looking for the foul mostly uh which was

Good for me too coach just said in there that Jamal Murray is an All-Star they need to make him an allar the the way he performed tonight how did he prove that uh man he was he was big for in the second half I mean I don’t like half of

The shots I didn’t I don’t think he missed uh and he was on uh he leted us uh get the lead back uh and and him and yoke closed it up for us U which was big you know our All Stars Maul yoke which

He is an allar um it it’s been great for us down the scratch when we needed him was talking about how physical you guys were in the final 5 minutes and that was the difference what did you see in terms of you guys being able to shut them down

Over all over the final 5 minutes of the game I agree with I agree with him uh just being physical uh H defensive rebound they got a lot of offensive rebounds uh in that first half but uh defensive rebound getting out in transition where we we best at um I

Think that what uh kept us uh in the game and got us to lead what was the move for you guys in the last two days I mean coach said that you guys felt like you let one go yeah we should have won in Philly for sure uh but we let like

The last five minutes slip away from us um and we wanted to come here and be the first team to get them when they they lost uh it’s tough uh came down to the last five minutes again and we and we knew what we had to do uh as far as to

Get this win what’s to say about the middle focus of this team fli scri that fast you disappointment come here team like like Boston uh I mean we knew our mistakes what we did in Philly and what what lost us the game so we knew already

Coming in into this game what we what we need to do to win the game um and that’s just be physical uh don’t turn the ball over uh and try to uh score as uh as much as possible in our possessions you guys have to adjust it all defensively

They started six to 10 and three and then you kind of shut them down in that area of the rest of yeah man the game is about adjustments you know uh poringa came out hot uh we made adjustments uh in that second half uh think he only had

Like four points uh so that the match up I mean the thing uh when we switched it up was was great for us uh putting AG on or putting a small on them uh and being able to switch uh and and put the pressure on them
