Daniel Gafford & Jason Kidd Respond to Luka Doncic Triple Double History, Jalen Duren Hard Foul

You made quick work of your time on the court tonight 17 points and 24 minutes just tell us about your overall performance um not honestly I feel like I could have started off a little bit better in the fouls for sure but I felt like I came out and kind of took that

Next step forward just with just you know kind like my mindset on the game just coming out just being physical and also you know being in the right spots on the defensive end trying to be the anchor of course you had four block Box shots tonight what were you doing in

Order to protect the real I just been there for my teammates you know it’s a fast-paced game and it’s a lot of things that’s going to happen down the stretch to where it’s a lot of guys that probably get beat off the dribble at the

End of the day so I’m the last line of defense so I got to protect home so that most definitely try to do my job 100% tonight for sure how much do you guys getting get into LC what he’s doing with those 30 point triple double I mean you

Know we just just can sit back and watch I was say you know at the end of the day man I mean it’s it’s it’s amazing just to kind of like see night in night out just what he brings to the game and just how he manipulates the game and just

Puts it in our favor at the end of the day he draws a lot of attention coming off screen so it makes it makes a lot of guys on the team better too whenever we’re just prepared for it so we just kind of feed off of his energy from your

Perspective obviously you got hit from behind so you didn’t see it at the time have you seen the replay and what ha from your perspective describe kind of what happened I mean it was just a pretty much a hard foul at the end of the day and it’s like you know I got

Pushed to the ground I would say afterwards so yeah I mean it’s basketball I really don’t hold it against guys when it come to them playing physical I’ve always getting gotten thrown to the ground or hit in the face or hit in the back of the head

So on and so forth when I came and played these guys so I mean I I know what I’m I know what I’m cut out for at the end of the day I know I got to prepare for just like the physical side of it at the end of the day but mean

With that being said just you know good hit you know I get those most mostly night in night out just good to just have guys come and just have my back in all situation that was that was good too that’s what I was going to say you and

PJ have only been teammates for three four weeks so so he got there pretty quickly yeah yeah he he for sure did and I mean you know that’s just something that for sure just any team that I’ve been on I always appreciate because you know guys always are there for me

Because at the end of the day I try to do the same thing for them do you have to rewi your brain a little bit going from playing in a different situation to playing here with there you know real expectations and playoff expectations inside the locker room um you know with

Just like the mentality that I always come to the game come to games with is just you know the next game is the important game and then just coming with just like the playoff mindset for sure I mean every game is going to be a playoff

Game for me you know I always come out with that type of mindset no matter how I’m playing that game I try to be the best I can be at my caliber and just how far my career is going to go that’s kind of like how I plan out and I you know

Prepare myself on a night toight basis you know so it’s kind of been just like the same you know I made a playoff run when I first got to Washington my first year there that was my first time so uh you know I got a decent taste for it so

Now I’m just like you know I just got to find a way to get back to it and so now that I’m in the situation I’m in now I just have to for make sure that I’m doing my part to be able to help us make

That playoff run for sure what do you guys got to do to pick it back off this win going into Monday’s game against Chicago me not taking anything for red at the end of the day that was a good team that we played in the first half

They for sure came out and threw the first punch and we adjusted and threw the first punch in the second half so really just kind of coming out and just being able to have the mindset to throw the first punch in this next game for sure Chicago Chicago is a good team too

It’s going to be a battle on our hand so we just have to come prepared appreciate it thank you so much and you guys scored 34 points in each quarter what were we able to do tonight from an offensive standpoint yeah I think when you look at just the touches

Um early I thought Luka got everybody involved um we had a lot of guys touching the ball not when you say you know touching the ball they weren’t shooting it um you know just being able to um have touches um I thought Kai set the tone for us uh offensively and then

Luca picked it up and um and then carried us but for us to win the first two quarters with the turnovers and offensive rebounds that we talked about at halftime I thought we did a really good job on Kate in the second half uh making sure that he had to do something

Different what can you say about LCA as he continued his 30 points triple double streak yeah you look up there and you see the stats and he needs one rebound uh it seemed like we weren’t going to get a miss or a stop um but we finally got

That but that just shows uh where he’s playing at right now the level that he’s at um to be able to to score um and also to be able to find his teammates and then lastly being able to rebound the ball for us to help us on the defensive

End it’s one of those things might get lost in a night like this but they hard ways Clos to the third quarter and start of the fourth with pretty key for you guys yeah I think uh for him to be able to knock down four threes uh two of them

Being four-point plays uh uh but I I thought again just the shots that he took they were great looks um you can see he’s starting to turn the corner here and and when as we’ve talked about um with his struggles we we need him and

And it just shows that you know the guys are trying to get him shots and he’s being aggressive and he’s taking the shots when he’s open obviously you’re kind of lost in the moment moment of the game but I wonder if you heard the fans in the second quarter Channing Luca

Sucks right before he went off no I did not okay unfortunately I didn’t you might want to like go on the road now start paying fans to do that we know he doesn’t suck we know he doesn’t suck yeah but that’s pretty much when he started

Turning it on yeah I think um I think he enjoys if that’s what took if that’s what spar sped him um I think we all know he enjoys when people talk to him um and and so if that’s what sparked him then yes we would like that to happen a

Lot more um but you know I think just starting off the road trip um understanding the importance of each game um I thought again to be able as DP brought up um the 30 points and each you know we scored over 30 points the ball is moving um we’re sharing the ball it’s

Not about you know can we get we’re talking about getting a better shot and we’re getting wide open looks now some of them were’re not going to make it’s just part of the game but I thought just being consistent in that area and then I thought the big the big thing was the

Start of the ball touch in the paint that’s where we we wanted to get to early and often I thought we did that on a consistent basis tonight I know you gave up 124 points but you had 13 Steals and seven blocks tonight what were you guys able to do from a defensive

Standpoint yeah we had 20 turnovers um we gave up some points uh in this league you’re going to see some scores everyone’s scoring the ball um we scored 140 something tonight so um just to to understand the pace uh we’re deep we can we can when we score the ball our

Defense is a lot better and you can see that but the deflections and steals tonight were big to create 20 turnovers and then to be able to explore on the other end and again sharing the ball I thought Josh has some great plays to Timmy on the Break um everyone’s

Touching the ball we’re trying to get everyone involved and everybody responded tonight so we got to build on this great appreciate it thanks thank you Everyone
