Giannis Antetokounmpo Postgame Press Conference | 3.30.24

First play of the game you dump it to Brooke at The Rim he gets two free throws and that sort of seem to set a tone your S Brook Bobby to kind of take advantage of the size a little bit how how important was that to get Brook

Started early but also you going to rim Bobby inside ET got to take advantage I think of uh the size you know if they don’t put the big on me um that means this is small one Brook and you just got to take advantage of that like we I

Don’t think we have plays that we can get him to the post but like through the flow of the offense early seals when he runs early and um R to the dunker and then uh he’s always available you know like when you try to play one-onone he’s

Always there you know to give you Outlet so I think he does a great job just to know when to kind of present himself uh early in the game we we saw that you know capella was on me I think he Hunter was on him so we we had we

Believe that we had the advantage and I think um we we use it throughout the whole game and then the switch I think the switch in the S um after New Orleans you mentioned free throws waned to get to the line more get yourself in a rhythm

You go 12 of 16 today how important was that for you to continue to do that even if maybe some calls didn’t go your way but to to get to line that much I think it’s the most since you’ve come back from the hamstring yeah it feels good you get

More comfortable you get more comfortable man the more you shoot them the more comfortable you get uh with with missing with making with getting there you know you just get more comfortable so like I think I’ve said the hardest part is to get there not to make them the hardest

Part is to get to the fre line you know so I’m just trying to get as get there as much as I can you guys have struggled to hold on to leads over the last I don’t know five or six games um when they cut it to five just how big was

That three from Chris to to kind of put that away yeah it was it was big you know Chris taking getting the switch I went to send the pick in the row then he got the switch uh now we have the match up that

We won got to his spot uh got a three made it then we came back Brook made the three went from 5 back to 11 and we were able to keep it around there from 8 to 12 so uh those two big those two shots were big without Dame obviously Pepe

Steps into the starting line I think 18 points five rebounds five assists for him just what you see from him I know we don’t tend to think of him as like a big offensive kind of threat but a big night for him offensively what do you see no he can contribute I know

We don’t view him as a as a scarter but uh never give that he can come in and give you 15 he can come in and give you 20 you know he going to play defense you know he’s going to Mark the game uh he’s going to instigate you know he’s going

To do his job you know he’s going he’s going to play he’s going to play defense get his standing balls like he’s going to do that no matter how he feels no matter win or lose but I never give ey he he can make shots he can make the

Floor floor he can make shots he can make like he he knows how to play the game he’s very smart what went into the game tonight that made you and your teammates the aggressors for the entire game uh I think just you know losing the previous game we didn’t play well um

Especially offensively I think defensively it wasn’t bad um they said like 38% from the Flor you know it wasn’t bad so uh going into this game we just want to set the tone that’s what good team uh do and I think we we did we did from the

From the start of the game we move the ball we talked a little bit shoot around like about uh new running habits and stuff what we expect from every single person you know and more space and I think we just went out there and did it

And uh that the end of when you do the right thing um usually things go your way you’ve got what hundreds of blobs from Chris yes so bobby gets one throws down a DK so what was what was your Vantage Point it was weird I don’t know

If I’ve ever seen Bobby give the love that’s the first one he’s had as a bu that’s the first one yeah that he’s completed miss two other ones yeah it’s uh it was good it was good uh play it was a good uh highlight play of the year

Giannis talks to the media following Saturday nights win against the Atlanta Hawks.
