Jarrett Allen felt Cavaliers pick up intensity in second half vs. Bucks

You guys slow down the second highest scoring offense in the NBA tonight at full string uh ajb he already prob they said all right the first half we didn’t playing with that intensity that we needed the second half we definitely picked it up we held them under 25 both

Quarters and we just communicated yeah you said it that second half held him to 43 points but I remember you guys came out of at halftime and they went on a 90 run JB calls time out then you guys go to have 12 straight stops like how did

You just go back and rely on your defense you know JB has his special messages in the Hubble definitely amped us up a little bit but we knew we weren’t playing at the level we could and we picked it up he really credited you for everything tonight just

The aggression that you’ve been playing with um from start to finish of this one how did you feel your aggression kind of continue throughout the game because it seemed like it just got more and more uh towards the beginning I definitely shouldn’t have been as passive as I was

There we go uh definitely picked it up in the second half just trying to be more aggressive driving to the basket I didn’t make every single one of it but I think just everybody seeing me be more aggressive after the first half amped them up can you feel when you start to

Frustrate Giannis and is there something in that that you know kind of can gives the team a little bit of momentum uh not really I he’s a Sound Player I can’t really tell him he’s get frustrated uh but he just goes downhill his spin move

Uh he’s I think every stop that we get every turnover that we force it just gives us energy seemed like there was a feeling the other night of you guys not giving Milwaukee your best shot right right how much added importance was there into tonight’s game and why was it so

Important uh we like you said we felt like a step behind last game we weren’t I don’t think we were ready to play When the uh we did the tip Ball but tonight we came out with the energy that we believe we can play with the defense

That we’re supposed to play too what stands out so much about your defensive effort tonight uh just like we do every night everybody’s on the same page everybody’s ready to help when somebody else commits we have each other’s back it’s just it’s Cavs Hoops how did you

React to the news that Donovan wasn’t named an All-Star starter uh it’s a live reaction I didn’t know it came out uh I really think you should I think you should have been an All-Star starter I guess yeah I don’t know who the starter was released last

Night coach was like a dry having back toback games with the Bucks like it was kind of a dry run for a playoff type situation how does kind of help you do you think for down the road maybe it’s definitely a playoff type atmosphere especially playing against them when

Things got close uh lost the first game we readjusted we had shoot around we were talking about what we can do better what we can do different in the show tonight
