Trayce Jackson-Davis on Warriors Loss to Heat | Dec. 28, 2023

Just two in a row now you guys have lost Denver lost obviously a tough place to play tough game tonight though what do you think things kind of fell apart um I think that uh in the first half they punched Us in the mouth and um we responded going into halftime and then

The second half they did the same thing and then we just didn’t respond very well and they got that lead and then sat on it and we tried to push back but it was a little too late everybody says every game is difficult but it’s human nature when

They don’t have Butler and they don’t have Lowry and the like that you could let down a little bit was that at all a factor um that’s that’s what coach told us before the game he said that um the Miami Heat they represent heat culture

And it’s always next man up and a next guy’s opportunity and so um that’s what they did tonight um and they’re um guys that don’t usually play they stepped up and made plays and they played good games they played hard and um that’s something that coach was preaching

Before the game saying that they’re going to come out even harder than they would if they had their starters you mentioned that they came out in the uh I guess second quarter and then third quarter and kind of quote punched you in mouth a little bit uh

What happens like in the timeouts what kind of communication is happening to re encourage you guys and reinvigorate you guys in terms of playing well um everybody is just clapping cheering like not like hey hey but like more of a sense that come on energy like more of an energy standpoint bringing energy

Trying to get guys going and stuff of that nature and that’s what I try to do for my teammates and then um just responding um listening to what coach is talking about ways that we can stop and help ourselves especially on the defensive end of the floor and um

Offensively just listen to what coach is saying and then just playing so it it seemed like you really held your own against bam in the post defensively how would you evaluate how you performed in that matchup um Bam’s a unique player um he’s kind of similar to me where he’s he

Relies a little bit on athleticism but he saw as that jump shot and um he was playing in that mid post area and I was just trying to body him up he hadit some tough shots but overall he’s a great player you are missing about what four

Of your main uh main guys how what is the plan or um for the rest of you to step up and kind of make up for those guys being out um it’s just kind of next man up opportunity um with uh Dre gp2 and those guys um they’re they’re still

Cheering for for us they’re still there for us um but um it’s next man up and that’s what we got to do until they get back and so um we just got to play hard and play together
