Giannis Antetokounmpo Postgame Press Conference | 4.2.24

Outscored you 70 to 56 in the paint tonight um just what do you see from their ability to get into the paint and maybe for your guys’ ability not to make them pay as much down low no they were they were good they move the ball U

Playing fast um driving the kicking for one another was able to get in the paint make something happen um got a lot of points in transition also the play the play there played really well this is the first time in I mean maybe a month that you guys have

Struggled like that in transition defensively um just what did you see tonight about your guys’ transition defense you know that they’re a team that going to play fast they a team that do thrive in transition uh we didn’t do a good enough job to get

Back even at the end I think uh was one of the most clear plays when we made it I think we made the something made the basket and they just threw the ball the other way got a missed the layup got the rebound made the layup like we wasn’t

Getting back for some reason I don’t know why um but they’re the team that they play fast like they have wings Adia from Gil um they have players that go run the floor space the floor for them and um I think today they they played well they

Made us spay as a regular season winds down how crucial is it for you and your team to face these fast-paced opponents as you get ready for the Post uh it’s good like it kind of like reminds you that we got to be better in transition um now I don’t really think

That but the after the regular season that um they’re going teams going to play fast in playoffs I don’t think they’re going to play that fast uh I think this the number one pace team right or number two who’s number two the Kings yeah think

So yeah like I guess the Kings we had the same problem problem we had today the same problem so um yeah it just alerts us you know like we have to be better we got to not only like focus on ouring habits offensively like defensively like we got to be better if

You um I mean I guess if you knew you would do it but any common themes or why you think this team has struggled as much as you have on on the road this year we have on the road couple games under 5 under 500 wow um

I don’t know I don’t know why uh what was the last time we lost from Washington in Washington I know you’ve won six in a row over the wizard so couple years couple Seasons yeah so um I don’t know man uh I I wish I did uh

Obviously we got to be better on the road hopefully moving forward in the last seven games we going to be I don’t know if we have Road games left but but uh we have to be better and hopefully we can carry that over to playoffs uh but yeah this this year even

From the the first West Coast SHP we had I think we played Portland Dallas Utah and Denver we were you know maybe the Suns too right we were one one and four or right one and four yeah and then we went to this another one against the Lakers Clippers Lakers Clippers I don’t

Remember remember um Warriors and Kings Warriors and kings and we were we were one and three yeah we didn’t we didn’t like this was probably one one of the toughest uh years for us on the road um hopefully next year we can be better you got a good look at Tristan vukovich

And he said he went up to you during the game and said that he was Greek so what was that interaction like between you and him he came up to me and he said he was Greek um I was kind kind of surprised that he was speaking uh GRE to me I

Looked at this last name I like ah but then you know I had a conversation with ten he played in played in GRE for a couple of years uh he’s sticking on joining the national team he be be very good addition for us um played hard tonight

Guy that can make the three takeouts of the dribble had a lot of experience I think he played a little bit in G and then he played in partisan too um the guy that can definitely you know helped uh help the wizard and definitely help the national team too

With Danny ABIA to this point in his career you two have had kind of similar progressions just in terms of production uh what did you see from him tonight and what do you think he can be as a player I think he’s going to be a great player

Um two-way player um every is getting better plays to win smart understand the game of basketball um yeah I I wish him the best I wish him too keep going get it better give help wi what did you think of Pat Hon’s persistence tonight particularly in clutch for your team coming up with

Different hustle plays getting his own rebounds Etc love it I love it that’s what B does um not only knock down shots for us play defense for us got some offensive rebounds for us made couple the extremely good uh plays down the stretch for us that’s what he does he’s

Extremely smart player he’s been in the situation a lot of years in his career and we need him to keep on making plays for team you mentioned the fact that you’re hoping to be a better Road team next year uh I’m curious do you think what happens on the road in the regular

Season applies to what you guys do in the postseason on the RO like it’s a totally different end um last last year we were a a really good road road team right what we were uh what I don’t know 58 games yeah uh 15 over 500 something like that

Yeah so what what is that that’s probably like you won 85% of your road games yeah we we we didn’t win no Road games so it doesn’t it doesn’t really TR in the playoffs you know uh so okay you just you just got to get good habits

What I think uh we have to take from this game is that defense was horrible um our running habits was better we moved the ball better in the second half guys were knock down shots uh a lot of open looks we got a knockdown shots um got a rebound the ball better

Get back better take that and try to apply in the playoffs and try to be better have you seen any other the women’s college tournament this year any kin Clark no I I haven’t se but I hear the whisper of uh klin Clark had like 41

Last night or two nights ago and there was this other girl from I don’t not from LSU um you maybe no she’s like yeah 62 you they said that he she’s probably going to be the best uh women basketball player to ever play this game I heard

Somebody said that today I I haven’t seen it haven’t watched it play um I’m excited I want I want to like Google her and see what she’s about but somebody said that she might be the one of the best to ever play and I wish her the best
