Postgame Interview: Bam Adebayo, Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier III

Bam what um led to the decision uh to finally take a break after you’ve pushed so hard for so long uh sat down had had a conversation with a coach uh we got guys back so he told me it was uh it was time to take one you aggravated or was

It a matter of just more maintenance than uh than anything but like I said man it’ll be all right not many nights you get to Captain from the bench and uh and on top of it being a nice grind out Victory what was your Vantage Point your

Involvement and then uh the the joy you get to to have after a win like this oh like talking on the sideline being being that Captain yet that’s not I like being out there trying to help my guys wi but you know definitely a great win for the

Team we definitely needed it you know inating this road trip 3 in one is a great momentum ship for us what’s it like riding the Terry Rosier Thrill Ride whoa uh Terry made big plays today uh him and Jimmy definitely put the ball in the basket but you know that that shot

At the end of the game I told him he was trying to be like me anybody who makes threes now or trying to be like you now ended on that Jimmy even though it was a night where you’re carrying the line share of the offensive load you still had moments

When the defense was Forefront and then also other guys contributing on the offensive particularly uh Terry down the street uh Terry put on the show man when half the arena is there to see you like you you got to come out and do your thing um but I’m just uh proud of our

Guys we coming out and fighting couple of uh men down and compete and get one on the road which uh we definitely needed um it was it it was a good dub overall really was how did the foot feel while when you got back at it looked like it was fine yeah yeah

Yeah I was uh I’m okay you know now it’s time to to rest ice it and do all of that good stuff and and be ready to go come what Friday I think Friday uh we’ll be good hopefully we get some bodies back too how nice I’m sorry go ahead how

Happy were you to see Terry have those moments considering how much you guys have been on him to to take more shots and be more aggressive look for um I love it I love it when my guys are seeing the ball going into the basket um when they’re scoring when they’re

Smiling when they’re celebrating like basketball is definitely supposed to be fun um and whenever you’re playing that type of basketball and it’s it’s towards winning that makes it even more fun so I’m happy for him I want him to continue do and you know doing it somewhat at the

Crib in front of his people is Big you know there a lot of cheer for him as it should be so I’m happy for my guy what was it like seeing a guy like Patty step into the starting lineup and help you guys get off to a pretty good start yeah

I mean he’s he’s one at the highest level um he’s been a winner for a long time here now and I’m glad that we get to bring his championship experience like um everything that he’s learned and you know he’s teaching everybody a lot still of how we can be better on both

Sides of the ball you know he’s constantly communicating but he belongs here man he does plays basketball the right way all he cares about is winning um so I think he’ll he’ll be around for a little bit and uh he’s definitely going help us in this

Stretch Jim you have a four game home stand coming up it starts against the Pelicans remember the last time you were in New Orleans I remember Jimmy Butler saying we’ll beat them the next time too um ready to stand by those words or that the Heat of the Moment of course no like

I don’t go into any game saying we going to lose but we going to get a dub it’s on a home floor anyways um we’re going to be fine Terry uh several layers of Awesomeness here obviously being from the area being able to close out the

Game with big shots and then getting the win and making this trip three and one that’s a that’s a nice night yeah I mean that’s the most important thing just getting the win uh like I said earlier my my my teammates and my coaches just

Make sure they do a you know great job to remind me daily you know night in night out who I am and just be and be that and you know we going to live with that and you know tonight you know I’m happy that you know we got to win so

Most important thing take us through that four-point play was it a go for three because of the margin was it just get up the best shot take us through that sequence of what happened and and were you trying to draw the foul also no no no I wasn’t trying to draw the foul

But uh I know they went up they went up four and the momentum kind of change and uh to be honest when we was going we was driving the ball up the court my it was already set in my mind that I was going

To shoot a three so I was just trying to shake a Coro and you know just try to you know give him a little step back or something like that cuz he do a great job job with guard so and then you know he follow me so that was even that was

Even better why you keep doing your hometown like this man I don’t know man I don’t know I guess I don’t know I don’t know be humble I told you to don’t jinx it before the game and I’m glad you did so ter said that uh one of the first

Things they told you after the game was what happens if you would have put up 12 threes or 11 threes how much does that mean to that they continue to stay on you to be more aggressive and take more shots it means everything it means everything you know the guys that you

You go on the war with that you that you around daily really truly believe in you and you know it’s crazy because SPO been trying to tell me to get up as many threes as I can when I first got here so you know it’s just just it’s just uh a

Matter of time it’s going to happen awesome thanks
