SHOOTAROUND SOUND: COACH MOSE & GARY HARRIS

SHOOTAROUND SOUND: COACH MOSE & GARY HARRIS

So what are the keys tonight obviously this is a team that struggles a little bit defensively is part of the focus Happ the game kind of well first the focus is getting back in transition I think you know obviously one of the highest paced teams one of the highest

Scoring teams so we got to make sure we get back in transition match up and then defend the three-point line last time you were here you beat them pretty handly what do you remember from that game what were the keys for you guys well our Sprints back in transition was

The start you know our ability to crash the glass was another piece and then just making sure we defend without fing but also impacting all shots offensively our ability to attack the rim like you just stated and just getting downhill and being able to find the right play

The right pass when we got to the paint how are Jaylen and Joe any chance they be able to uh Jaylen and Joe will not be a go tonight does that mean Gary will start Gary will start in his place yes what you seen from Gary starting

Line well him being there for so much of of it last year I think he recognized the chemistry and the flow with that group uh being able to space the floor right the right way but more than anything is is his defensive presence uh being able to pick up full court which

We’ve seen him do a ton uh getting into guys bodies being extremely physical you know similar to what Jaylen does but just being able to you know just different versions of it we were just talking to Gary a moment ago he was saying that you know the effort that you

Guys put on against the Bucks 60 points in the paint that type of performance will win you a lot of games but obviously you didn’t win that game is it just a matter of the little things and and hitting those open shots and taking advantage of those open shots no be

You’re so right and and Gary spot on with that is is the reality of the way we played was the right way of playing you know we defended at at the right clip you know those fouls down the stretch on jannis were part you know ending up being part of the game plan

But you know if they don’t have those late quarter free throws you know it’s a 19point quarter that you hold them to but we had the recipe for getting it done you know and and it’s we talk about having our standard and that was a lot

Of our standard and the way in which we played how’s marel doing marquel’s you know he’s progressing you know you know slowly but he’s he’s coming along working in some individual work right now they get some stuff done uh maybe doing some ones with guys but slowly but surely coming Along be the keys tonight against obviously they struggle a little bit defensively be ay Focus um my bad um I think uh the key focus is definitely going to be transition uh you know how uh fastest team likes to play um we know the type of player Tyrese

Halberton is and just uh just being able to control those guys and try to make them play in a half court last time you were here you guys beat them pretty anually what were the keys in that particular um I think it was a conservative effort to get back in

Transition uh you know make sure we crash on the uh on the offensive end and then try to slow down their break and uh just try to attack and get into the paint uh on offensively as well is it always special coming back here to play

Obviously from oh yeah know I mean it’s always uh you know uh a joy to come back home be able to play in front of family and friends you know um uh it never gets old you know I’ve been doing it for a while now but never gets old just

Continue to embrace it continue to you know be thankful you know that you know the people I love get to see me play both of these teams are kind of reeling recently you expect you know the want from both the fight from both teams for a win tonight or I mean I would

Definitely expect that for sure um you know especially uh for our own sake you know I can’t really speak for that team you know you know they’re going to come out and play hard but for us you know we got to worry about ourselves we got to

Come out play hard defensively and play together offensively and um you know get off this uh loser streak what stood out to you from the Bucks game you know looking back over film um just the effort from your from your teammates coming off the second

Half of a back to back no I mean we play we give that type of effort and play like that we’re going win a lot of games you know it didn’t go our way towards the end of that game but uh you know we fought hard um we definitely you know we

Had some stuff to clean up on but uh we definitely took a lot to grow from from that game and try to apply here uh you know going into this game
