Naz Reid on Wolves big second half: ‘I think we just locked in and became ourselves’

I think we just uh we started like you said we started a little bit slow I mean we hadn’t been home for in a little while it just it felt a little weird at first I guess um but you know we kind of continue to play the game the right way

Kind of ramp it up uh uh and start playing the right way and things of that nature what did you like guys like about the energy that you were able to bring into the defensive um end of the game in the second half I think we kind of just

Like kind of locked in and became ourselves I think uh that’s something that uh we can do throughout the whole game but you know at an 82 game plus season he kind of you have moments like that uh to where you know you kind of

Got to find yourself and lock in so I think that’s just really really what it was just locking in it was fun to see you find your stroke on that three-point shot how did that feel for you tonight I mean it felt good I mean it’s something

That you know I work on daily uh you know it’s something that you want to make sure it goes in along with my finishing around the rim things of that nature which I need to be better at so now as the team construction is obviously pretty unique in the NBA with

Three talented Bigs like you guys have how do you feel Finch is doing utilizing you guys whether that be through your horns flare actions or you know pick and rolls what do you kind of think on that I mean it’s been good I mean great actually I mean it’s it’s always finding

Ways to be creative with the three big especially like today we kind of went a big line I think it was nille uh Jaden um me Mike I mean me uh Rudy and cat so I mean he’s always finding creative ways and uh you know to be effective in in

That manner like defensively your game plans are like changed from game to game more than a lot of teams do what is that like kind of the adjustments and the different looks you guys throw at teams uh it’s not that bad I mean we kind of once you learn every each each coverage

And uh once you know what the next person is doing it’s kind of kind of gets easy because you what that person is doing you kind of know what you have to do next if that makes sense so whether it’s getting to an exploitation being low man or helping or whatever the

Case may be switching you kind of kind of got to get a feel by going through it enough times no a lot of I was going to say a lot of people actually talk about an not taking enough shots I want to know what do you think about his

Playmaking ability when he’s not taking those shots he’s actually finding his teammates what have you seen him grow in that in that aspect been amazing I told him uh the OKC game he was just he I think he was becoming an allaround NBA all NBA player when he was just making

The right reads and things that nature kind he gets he’s impactful player he’s a great player so he’s going to get double uh each almost every night so when he makes those reads I mean he’s he’s special and then he’s opens opens up the floor more for him so I mean he

He’s been great with those uh those reads [Applause]
