Nate McMillan says Joe Prunty drew up the game-winning play and it was well-executed.
Nate McMillan made sure to credit Jalen Johnson, in addition to AJ Griffin, for the inbounds pass on the game winner.
McMillan said they took Bogdanovic out during the 4th quarter to manage his minutes, even as he just made a three. Acknowledged they blew past the restriction in overtime. Also confirmed De’Andre Hunter was on a minutes restriction. That’s why he didn’t come back.
McMillan joked that, while the fan base was yelling at him for taking Bogi out in the 4th quarter, he was tempted to say “talk to the trainer!”
(again, joked)

Nate reversed back to give Jalen Johnson some shine for the pass and noted that it was not a play that they had practiced before. Was subbed for Trae as a taller inbounder after the TO on the first inbound attempt.
McMillan said the objective on DeRozan’s shot is just to get hands up and make him make the shot over you, not to contest in any way that would incur a foul.
He also responded in the affirmative when asked if Trae Young getting bumped on the head was a concern.
Trae said he dinged his back on a charge and his elbow and pinkie finger on another play. (I’m assuming this was the charge he took on Dosunmu.)
Trae said that he talked to AJ Griffin just now about how AJ’s game-winner resembled the one Trae had his rookie year.
AJ Griffin, on Jalen Johnson’s pass:
“I called him QB1 right after that.”
Bogdan Bogdanovic, shaking his head: “I just know that we won the game. Credited Trae for calling timeout on the first play that was drawn up.

AJ Griffin just aged all of us by reminding us that he wasn’t born in 1993 when Tony Kukoc had two game winners as a rookie.
He added that it was still nice to be in that company.

Our future interim
Prunty is an ice cold motherfucker
Ok, I like Nate, the players seem to like Nate, despite the stuff last week. Maybe we can just keep this going.
Of course Nate didn’t draw up the successful play lmao
Not surprised that wasn’t Nate’s play

Joe Prunty is a pro . Usually a defensive guy but he’s been around the league long enough to know some offensive stuff
