Dalano Banton Postgame Interview | Portland Trail Blazers 107, Houston Rockets 123
What do you feel like the difference was for you guys between the first half and the second half um definitely just I think just trying to find ways to do it for 48 minutes uh it’s a hard thing to do in this league just definitely going
On knowing the other team’s going to go on a run um just how you withstand that how you overcome that and you know how you bounce back from thatas it’s going to make everything every game going in another game so um just being able to
Punch back when we get hit um I feel like we we weren’t able to you know give a run or give a hit back when after they went on that run in the second half so I just think that it’s a game of runs man just knowing that and you know we’re a
Very young team so trying to find out ways to do that and with withhold that and you know be able to bounce back from that uh offensively tonight C high for you what what’s been working for you lately uh because it seems like you’ve been you’ve been putting quite a few
Points here lately um definitely just trying to get in where I fit in I feel like um you know guys trusting me to get downhill you know guys trusting me to take the open shot if it’s there so you know just having to trust from your teammates from the coaching staff and
You know definitely coach to be putting me in positions to you know attack and you know put me me to play to my strengths I feel like goes a long way for me and you know when you have that confidence from your coach and knowing that like you could go there you could
Make a mistake and you know you could come back on defense and try it again like you know so F that goes a long way definitely with the guys that we have out you know more of a leash for a lot of guys or for all guys kind of but um
Just trying to figure that out man when we got got more guys back and we get everybody back into the rotation you know the leas should get shorter for me as well as everybody else so got to find ways to you know maintain your mistakes throughout this but you know it’s been a
Great time so far I feel like just trying to you know get comfortable game in game o and I think it’s happening for me three pointers especially seems like your your three-point shot seems like it’s it’s looking good and I know that’s probably been an area that you’ve
Probably tried to improve a bit yeah for sure um definitely just reps go a long way um you know playing you know minutes here and there um getting an open shot mies it a lot harder to make that shot man um especially if it’s might be your
Only shot for the game um it’s just that much harder sometimes but um definitely like you know now like I said just getting touches um being able to play to my strengths and you know like I said if you have the open shot doesn’t just go
For me goes for everyone we have the the confidence of our coaching from the whole bench from everybody to take that shot you know they see the work that we put in day in day out so you know it goes a long way when you have the
Confidence of you and everybody else a game like tonight where like their whole game plan was basically just to take ant out of the offense is do you kind of the coach just kind of tell you like you’re going to have plenty of open shots just
Shoot him get him up that kind of no no no definitely not just shoot him get him up uh you know we’re playing to our strengths um definitely we’ve been seeing guys trying to take an out the game knowing how you know aggressive he is offensively and you know the plays
That he can make for other people but um definitely just trying to you know like I said getting where you fit in you know try and make the right play um you know seeing that they’re not they’re trying to take an out of it you know just
Trying to make a play whether that’s me whether that’s two um you know getting guys into their spots you know trying to get them playing three on four trying to get downhill make two on ones for ourselves whether that’s anybody doesn’t matter who that is
