The way those guys produced with Eric and Josh just how big was that for for tonight yeah it’s always good when everybody get involved everybody feeling confident Drew was great to start off was great just kept cruising from there Brad book great and fourth and it’s good

To get a win on the back to back what do you think of you know the way you guys handled their Zone I know they got up 43s but yeah I mean we started first uh started a fourth quarter we we got like five six Corner wide Ultra Corner

Thre and like I I keep telling you make them this lead like you know it’s bad offense when you miss those wide open shots but it’s great offense when you make those shots it could be contested over two people if you make it it get called great offense you know what I’m

Saying so sometimes great offense you’re not going you’re not going to make the shot it’s just about what you generated the body movement the screening all that little details people should watch if they try to understand what a good basketball play is so a lot of those

Times they were in his Zone book of r on top we set that screen now we got the two on1 on that backside so that guy who got a help Le you sell out to try to get that contest then you got Eric Gordon the corner four wide open threes that b

Got like two of them like I’m down if we miss 10 in a row I’m living with those shots every time I think I mean maybe the seven eth Miss maybe you can pump F and get to the paint a little bit and maybe shoot a midi or get closer but I

Love those shots we took matter curious what the turnover is very low number tonight is that just that more of a conscious effort going into tonight game yeah I mean I just did I mean like I said I set the tone with all that type of stuff and I didn’t start

The game off with the turnover or I didn’t have four on the first half so the rest curious when you just look at just coach was saying before the game you guys were upset losing the last two how much was that part of going into tonight you know yeah I mean we we

Always talk about bounce back mentality and moving past the last game and regardless of the outcome we we we review it and move on quick and I think that’s for back to backs give you an opportunity just watch the game away just go out there and play a game and

Tonight we played free we played together we play defense and uh kept the ball in our hands and that’s always the formula man we got up 26 27 KS and I know you just look at the numbers instead of watching the game you generated great shots the quter

Just didn’t go in so I’m encouraged ask how it feel uh first praise God um new match is a lot better you can see you can see clearly uh fitted well so it it was good it was good the whole game Curious the way you guys are balance tonight I think six

Guys at Double figures the bench you know highly productive may just speak to the overall getting the win after a couple of time passes I mean that’s coach harped on and and film this morning just being able to get back to our bringing the ball getting back to

Getting our defense you know getting us into the game getting our offense going um trying to get K going a little bit more just being just being more free FL you know obviously we’ been playing well the last few games last eight nine games but we

Drop those two but tonight was good to be able to just get back to our our flow and our good energy speaking of that got a lot of early defense to offense how big was that just to initially get in that defensive line to have those that’s important you know cuz that’s that’s

What’s going on those games like we can score the ball you know everybody knows we can score the ball we got many guys who can do that you know we got to take pride in our defense and that’s where it starts you know especially us three

Starting the game like we got to we got to guard you know and I think that’s something we’ve been better at taking the challenges of we understand one of us at Le just going to have to guard the guy you know so uh we take that on a CH

And uh you know we’re we’re very enthusiastic about it you know we kind of like who got him who got him like type thing so it it kind of boosted Us in the game for sure curious what you thought of this Josh’s overall how big was huge man it was it was unbelievable

I’m super happy for him uh you know be a to get back his back to playing way he he’s capable of playing man just playing free not thinking uh being reactive being a defensive P like he always is defensively made a three made some plays offensively got some offensive rebounds

For us they were key man the big Ste down the stretch he got a transition running back and defense like that was huge for us so and he knows what he’s capable of doing we just we need to continue to keep him back in line with

This last thing I have with um fourth quarter is it what what what’s I mean I know that it’s it’s something you guys know with the turnovers and not playing fast but what was is that the same thing tonight I don’t think so I think we just

Didn’t make no shots I think just the first couple possessions we just didn’t make any shots we had good looks uh it just didn’t didn’t go in and their shots did so you know that kind of I wouldn’t say Ratt this but slowed us down a little bit and you know we

Eventually got our bearings and you know hit back but I think we got really good shots we can turn the ball over and I think that’s that’s what hurt us in the pass starting those quarters so it was better at night we understood we what we were running um re organized just got

Got the looks how big was it to get in the flow once you got in and way you did yeah I got into the flow you know uh we got to take advantage of opportunities and you know thre were there and um you know wish I would have

Hit a couple of them that were open but um it was good to knock some down and get a good flow to the game how big was was the bench tonight I mean thought kind of started it all but then follow then yeah it’s much need you know as the

Season goes along we got to get better chemistry wise and we have to do well and uh cuz I mean before you know in a couple months we’ll be in right there the playoffs so we got to just continue getting better and better serious what you saw this Josh’s double clutch

B it was much needed at that time cuz you know Mi they were making a little bit of a run but you know JL he had a good game today and it was good to see that curious the the balance that you guys had I mean it’s been rare that six

Guys in double figures no one over 30 but probably anybody under 10 um can that be something that could be built upon for sure I mean we should be scoring relentlessly once we have a balance attack cuz when we only got a couple guys going and FL you

Know you know we get stagnant and it hurts it hurts our team big time and once everybody gets to the low that’s when we start overpowering teams offensively and defensively get more Scrappy and so we know that and we just going to continue doing that last you you’ve gone back

To visiting area where you played before Kevin get ready to do what El you going back to Brooklyn let me speak to your experience and how that could play into his experience yeah it’s going to be interesting like I you know he’s had a great career for

Sure you know I know they had high expectations and uh he did well there and you know he been through a lot was there so you know they got to you know they got to praise him because he didn’t have to go there and uh and he

Went there and made things happen and so you know they should be raising for years
