How hard is it to when you have such a big lead and you lose it to get it back to kind of get back to to the focus and the way you play when you first built yeah I just think it speaks to us being able to reestablish our focus and our

Standards in the middle of the game um and get back to work so you know obviously disappointed we couldn’t keep those standards up in the second quarter but we did a great job like usess again being that third quarter team we’ve always been all year just come out rest

Lish ourselves and uh this time holding on to the lead with um you guys are one SE right now does that matter to to you as as a team or as an individual no yeah I think it’s more of a pride thing you know just continuous continuously fighting for something I think we’re

Fighting to keep that for the whole year so um gives us something to fight for something to look forward to uh I think it’s a good motivation for us with um the allar game coming up here just kind of how do you view this having

A with you having PCH PCH was getting a little reflective out with us thinking back to when he first took the job he said you know it means a lot cuz you were so welcoming you know at the time and it was a kind of a turbulent time uh

Aunt was a rookie and you guys were trying to build this thing um just what what does it mean that they’re going to be with you I mean it’s awesome you know to have my partner in crime over there uh be able to join all of us to be able

To go together and uh have PCI with us and the coaching staff and our in in a in arena team and everything I think it’s it’s great for our organization organization that’s been downplayed and talked really bad about for a lot of years so for us to have this moment I

Think we should relish it we should enjoy it we should uh take note of it as well and um make this try to make this an every year thing you know be the number one team in the west be a team that’s winning at a high level um and

Also putting uh you know our our our guys and position to be on the biggest stage those two Big Blocks tonight U interest talking about you Walling up at the rim and just your defense when you were at that level raising the level of

Of this team as a whole how how do you feel that your defense this season has we always talk about offense how has your defense helped Elevate this team um you know I I give credit my teammates you know just for them being able to get

Give me the chance to be in those spots where I could show my defense prowess and and and block shots and and be a contributor on that side um it’s a testament to them it’s a testament to Rudy it’s a testament to our staff um I

Just think that you know I just been able to with with with continuity with this team that I think everyone knows about and um the communication we all have with each other you know being able to put myself in the right spots more than not and uh help my team win on the

Defensive end so I made it a big point this summer to uh wanted to win be the best defensive player I could be be the best player I could be every year I work on the same thing but saw what we have this year could be really special and I

Knew that for us to take it to that next level to be the number one team in the west to be one of the best teams in the NBA it would be I would have to raise my level uh not only offensively but defensively and uh I feel like I’ve been

Able to do that and I’m I’m honored to uh be respected and to have my work seen by my peers and the coaches to be able to represent our team in the All-Star Game
