Taylor Jenkins PostGame Interview | Houston Rockets vs Memphis Grizzlies
A little bit more showing crowds late I thought our guys got better as the game went on and it was going to be hard to touch the paint against this team with their physicality and I I thought we found our moments with ISO Drive second side drives you know multiple actions
And pick and rolls knowing that they were going to switch heavy if we could get to a second or third action we were going to open ourselves up and I thought we got just enough in that fourth quarter and some big time shots but obviously Big Time stops down the
Stretch to kind of weather you know a little tough uh offensive output throughout the game but luckily we scored 37 in the fourth that was a big time difference maker hey coach seven guys in double diges 24 points from two guys who wouldn’t even know the team last year but it seems
Like last week it seems like the the chemistry was real flow they FL played with ease and freedom talk about how well they able to play together tonight yeah I mean uh as I said we kind of crash course I mean put this together I
Mean we had uh you know I think Lamar playing the five at some stretch you know gii was you know playing some pseudo five defensively for us um but overall just really proud with the group’s effort but especially you know Jordan Lamar you know I thought Lamar did some wonderful things defensively
Rebounding in particular rebounding obviously was an issue for us tonight Jordan you know he’s just now learned the Playbook triy to keep it really simple but as you said we want not just those guys but all of our guys to play with freedom and I thought the physicality and their switching and full
You know full court half court pressure kind of bothered us and then when we kind of got settled in that second half we talked about it at halftime um everyone kind of just felt a little bit more at ease despite you know not being perfect for 48 minutes but those guys
Were huge boost for us tonight um obviously we need contributions from everyone just playing Team ball um that led to our victory tonight coach jiren was pretty quiet for the first three quarters and then in the fourth quarter obviously comes alive just talk about the the growth you’re seeing from him
From game- to game basis and being able to impact the game even when he has slow starts like that yeah I mean I think he’s uh displayed a great ability just to kind of figure out how teams are guarding him I think they were swarming him you know he end up with four
Turnovers was you know missing some of his teammates and he he he was aware of it but just after the fact and then you know was able just to kind of reset see the crowds I think there was a couple of drives late uh where he saw the defense
Not in their shifts and he was able to drive and kick I thought he did a good job moving the ball and then obviously he was a product of you know just being a spacer you know we talked about maybe him being off the ball creating those advantages on the second side using
Lamar more as a screener and I thought he just kind of adjusted as the game went on which is impressive by him great thanks everyone
