POST GAME PRESS CONFERENCE: Sam Hauser talks 3-PT shooting streak after win vs. Bulls

Sam you missed time but do you feel like I mean you fell right back into the Rhythm um you know I the first couple minutes of last game I felt like a half step slow for the first couple of minutes um you know you only missed three days but sometimes when you’re

Getting back into the swing of things it takes just a little bit to get back in the flow and the rhythm of you know the speed of the game and uh obviously yesterday was good for today and today felt a little bit better than yesterday so it’s looking good

Play both games back to back clearly ankle holding up fun yeah yeah it’s been feeling pretty solid uh throughout still you know doesn’t feel quite 100% yet but overall pretty good what’s what’s kind of feeling so good with your shot right now like just kind of good looks good opportunities

Yeah I mean teammates are fing me you know when I’m open and uh trying to get into Windows and try to set myself up for success as well and being a little more iive you know coming off screens running behind a guy and transition for

Them to flip it back things like that so just trying to find my place and uh you know be a star in that role how are you finding those windows though with so many different people on the floor the lineups you guys are playing with yeah I

Mean that’s the beauty of our team you know anybody can step in and play you know 30 minutes a night and that’s credit to all the work that we put in day in day out and we truly try to win every single day and I think it shows on

The court when we have nights like this when guys are out and other guys get to step up and play beyond the obviously important guys being out like there’s also could be a sense of like all right we’ve done we need to do this regular season we can chill for a little bit

What what’s kind of helped you guys having this drive and want to finish so strong there’s no no let up even though the games aren’t going to really factor into your playoff chck yeah you know we’re just hungry for more and uh it’s not in our you know character to just like mail

It in for the rest of the season even though you know we have a good record to this point we’re trying to take it a day at a time because you know we have a lot to prepare for for the playoffs and each and every day is a great opportunity for

Us to grow as together as a group and and learn from you know games that we won and lost so um you know we’re just taking it one day at a time Jo talks a lot to us about just finding different ways different nights tonight they shot

57.3 I think from the field by 11 I think Second Chance points you had just a massive massive Edge like what what kind of the pathway I guess for this one yeah um you know he said in the Huddle a couple times just grind it out and find

A way to win and that’s what we did tonight you know was our fifth game in seven nights I believe so it’s just one of those days where you know everything may not be you know going your way or whatever but you just got to find a

Different way to win and that’s what we’ve shown throughout the season that we can do that what kind of monster was Luke on the boards tonight man he’s been a monster all year on the boards uh I don’t you guys call him King of the putback or something like that right do

I don’t know I think scy does trying to get that going I don’t know maybe uh but uh he’s been great all year and he knows that that’s his role to come in Crash the boards screen roll finish at the rim and uh play good defense and protect the

Protect the rim so he’s done a great job with that all year how much f is this Stay Ready group taking and now being able to kind of shine yeah you know we uh a lot of these guys you know we live for these moments you know when some

Guys are down with an injury it’s you know you get a chance to show what you can do on on a big stage and you know as a competitor you just you know you thrive for that and you really you’re motivated in those type of games to you

Know just show what you can do and and show to the coaches like if you like if you throw me in a certain game of the playoffs I’ll be ready to go that type of thing presented by your New England Ford dealers built for America built Ford proud
