Karlo Matković on big performance in Game 3 vs. Spurs | 2024 NBA Summer League Postgame

uh I know you were a little disappointed Sunday after the gamees your turnovers but how are you able to clean that up and and be some much more effective at this one I think we had a better Rhythm uh did the job that I need to do pretty much didn’t like go off my game uh tried to stay focused on that and then just like thinking off of watching the film helps a lot so just like from the practice film getting on Court and just being focused with it take care of the ball and just like want the plays that we want to run we saw you pop a couple from outside I know you’ve been working on that shot good wasn’t to get if few Fallen yeah like I didn’t I didn’t want to force nothing uh it just happened like we didn’t have nothing on play I was in a good Rhythm trying to like you know set my feet and just like shot the ball with confidence and it went in uh that’s something like I want to work on more but like throughout the game I think like it was a good rhythm game so I had a rhythm to make that shot I made it next play that’s it yeah game three here so chemistry is kind of tough to develop with short amount of time together but seemed like you were getting a lot more things going you pick and roll different AC and things like that right I think the film today we did like whatever we asked for I think we did a lot of good job off of it just staying in that Rhythm that I said uh knowing what we going to play being a good spacing and then shots getting up floats uh L oops whatever like because we know they were going to be drop set a good screen attack the basket and just read off of that kick out to the corner floater finish to the rim oop it bounce pass it to the shore roll whatever you know so I think guys really transferred from the films standpoint to the court really good so execution was nice Carlo you’ve been coming off the bench a lot of the narrative around this team is about a starting center but what do you think about closing games because you’re rebounding setting screens doing all the dirty work that this team’s going to need at the end of games what’s your mindset just going into that uh I think I could have done much much better uh rebounding game this game uh just because I had a five I think I’m not happy with it uh I don’t care for the points too much I’m more of a shot like block shots and rebound like I said before you know from the defensive point like we we lost a lot of 50-50 balls I’ll say like we lost the game on that pretty much they had 14 Second Chance points we had 17 rebounds and they had like 15 offensive rebound no 17 turnovers and 50 15 uh offensive rebounds I think those if was cut on short like half we’re going to win the game it’s like fiveo difference game so being being the end I think I could I could have did good job could have uh but like just standing like watching the film making like a learning point learning point for me just like trying to be there and uh compete hustle and uh no matter who going to be on the end like you know Missy can guard same as me he’s still athletic tall whatever just like somebody’s games today somebody’s game tomorrow like it don’t matter so I’m not going to take it for myself or for Missi I love the dude he’s going to be out there too so it just like depends who got a better game I think so so pretty much was on that you know you say the points don’t matter but there’s a big smile on your face after the three the lob dunk that you hit you tried three or four more what’s going your because God like we have a really good group of guys that really like cheer us up and hit in the three like they like be be our be the PD coach uh he said like I need some top threes and I was like all right I got you and then there like remembering that like throughout the game just flashes through you and just like you got a got a smile you know like taking taking that shot I didn’t think the shots were like a really good shot like we didn’t have nothing on the play it was like last chance to do something I just shot it I know I can shoot it but you know like I think we could do a little better job on that and then sometimes if I’m going to pop and be alone shoot it but this is just like out no no play you no action so it’s I have always smile on my face that’s my that’s my like you know character I’m going to be positive and smiling all the time so and we talked to Coach about you uh playing the other next two games for summer league your thought on finishing out this slate or you’ve done a lot to uh show you deserve this spot on the NBA roster what do you think about closing out summer league uh I just think you got to prepare for the next game as every other game go out and play compete have fun with these guys I really enjoyed to be here so two more games three more games as much as games there are I’m going to play and be there so you there for my teammates whatever happens will I play or not I don’t know you know so just like depends like what they going to decide right but I’m going to be ready for every game that’s coming
