POSTGAME SOUND: MAGIC VS. SUNS | COACH MOSE & PAOLO BANCHERO
The turnovers I I think the way once we started that game we had to battle back and I’m proud of our guys for the way in which we did keep Our poise uh but again give them credit for how how they played uh elite shot makers tough shot makers
Um but again you turn it over for 16 times for 18 points uh you’re not giving yourself the opportunity to get those shots up are you seeing any common Trend with them I know it’s difficult when you got guys shifting in a lineup for guys with game decision destinations but you
Know how much of a challenge is that are you seeing coming out well I think it’s trying to just not taking the simple play and I think when you the the the defense is going to tell you what to do so just part of reading the defense and
Understanding when and where there’s a load up uh and just making the simple Play More Than Anything fron and Pao both continue to have you know Allstar type Seasons when you see him out there you know playing the way that they do playing unselfishly and you know going
To toe-to-toe with the star studed cast how how impressed are you with their way to continue to grow on any stage no obviously I’m super biased but to me they’re both Allstars I’m super biased but the way in which they play they make everybody around them better uh they
Don’t shy away from Big moments uh they play hard on both ends of the floor uh and again it’s about how how great they make their teammates and they’re willing to do anything is necessary to help their team win for Dell how how you know
Happy are for him not only be on the floor but playing which the way he did see the ball go in and he seemed to to really take off from him from there I thought it was great I thought he did a heck of a job stepping back in you know
Obviously making sure we monitored where he was but I thought he did a great job of communicating with me communicating with his teammates of how he was feeling throughout the game uh but again just to have him back out there and as we continue to find different rhythms for
Our group it’s it’s it’s it’s great to have him on the floor down the stretch it look like you guys got decent shots just was in case something they were doing or you guys just no you know we make or Miss I think that’s a big
Portion of it we got some great looks down the stretch like you said and we want our guys still continuing to step into those shots with a high level of confidence you just got to see a couple go in but you know I think we did a great job defensively forced them into
Some tough twos sped them up um had a bunch of looks to to to break the lead open after that 97 96 lead uh and then we missed a few and they came down and knocked down a bunch so that’s that’s part of this game but I’m proud of our
Guys the way in which they battled uh to get back after you know a rough early start and I think that’s you know that’s all you can ask of this group was obviously talented group over there with a lot of bucket gets but what did you see kind the down the stretch
For um yeah I think you know they got guys particularly with uh Durant um Katie and then Booker and and Brad like you know those guys um any of them can can close a game out and so when all three of them are out there I think you
Know it’s very tough and it’s just hard to master shot making uh I think we had some good looks that just didn’t go down um couple In-N-Out you know shots that rattled out and so you know sometimes the game goes like that but I don’t think that’s what lost us the game I
Think um you know we had some bad turnovers that kind of gave them some easy buckets that uh I think gave them confidence just throughout the game yeah with the turnovers are you seeing any commonality there I know you have guys kind of coming in out of the lineup a
Little bit you know but but what are you seeing there yeah today it was today uh it was more of miscommunication I think you know um first game of the road trip you know maybe there could be some stuff there but yeah I think some of those turnovers were more uncharacteristic you
Know just kind of miscommunication um you know some just passes that got thrown away to the other team are out of bounds so that’s all stuff that we can you know should be able to fix you know I don’t think it was their pressure that was making us
Turn it over I think it was just our lack of communication and um you know just being sharp so we got to clean up on that you talked a little bit the other night when you’re playing against how you appreciate those challenges when when you’re out there and you’re trading buckets with with
Katie B you know just how how much do you Marvel at that moment and appreciate those opportunities yeah I think you know you just probably appreciate it more after the game I think in the game you know you want them to miss and you want you
Know you want to beat them so uh but it’s is just great getting to compete against a team like that with with those guys um I’m sure that you know when they’re at full strength that you know they’re going to be one of the teams that’s you
Know in the running to win the championship so um just being able to go Toe to Toe with them and just see where we measure up is always good but uh we would like to come out with the win so you know we got more work to do and um
You know we just want to try and uh bounce back how happy were you to see you know the ball go in for and be back on the floor and kind of build up a rhythm for himself yeah that was great to see that was great to see um you know
Just kept telling him all game you know keep going keep being aggressive um we’re we’re a better team when he’s scoring the ball being aggressive so you know we want him to keep playing like that um you know and uh yeah he’s going to help us a
Lot might have rolled your ankle a little bit feeling yeah I tweaked a little bit but but I’ll be fine uh same ankle that kind of always you know tweaks so just you know do some recovery and tape it up you guys had a good third
Qu both sides H the ball what was the key down the stretch when you that one the end uh I think it was just getting stops limiting turnovers um you know cuz I feel like a lot of the turnovers was was giving them transition runouts and you know when they’re running at you
It’s hard you know so I think we limited the turnovers we started to get stops and um we were able to get to the rim and uh you know able to take the lead for a bit there but weren’t able to finish it
