Third quarter not running back on defense the difference in the game I mean they had uh 26 fast Rak points you’re not going to win many NBA games when the other team has 26 fast break points so we got a tough call there to me down one

Uh outside the scoring area back the basket touch foul that they could have called all night that they didn’t that’s one but the big I mean the the last play is the last play all that stuff we lost because we didn’t run back on defense that’s why we lost posi his first

Start I mean certainly good things to build on you know we just watch the film and look at it and you know go from there brand miles strong games uh how they were they going well they you know they got us back into the game you know

We defended better and then when miles got going we were down like 10 or 12 Grant played well uh Bryce played well um you know again we just our transition defense is terrible Ian can’t you can’t it’s just when you’re giving up that many open threes and layups and

Transition you’re just not going to win it’s just it’s just it’s uh too many easy baskets and just my last question another strong game from Davis with your teams as short as they are how important is he at both ends he’s doing a great job his team defense is very good super

Smart plays with great energy really good IQ and obviously he’s got great range uh coach uh yes sorry question not not related to to the game um about Bome he’s he’s playing with j in Barcelona now uh you know him well are you surprised by the fact that he wasn’t

Able to to to find a a team to keep playing in the NBA uh last the last summer I yeah I’m I’m not I don’t that’s Personnel I don’t I coaches don’t do that that’s totally out of my out of my area so I have no idea

Sorry forgive me we don’t see you all the time obviously you’re coming about the transition defense is that something that’s been kind of ongoing no no we’ve been good at it I mean for the most part um you know they’re good by the I mean like they’re they’re the F they’re first

And fast break points in the league and you know so that was a big emphasis going in it’s what we talked about this morning in the walkth through it was someone on the board before the game we just didn’t do it
