Giannis Antetokounmpo reacts to the Sexton incident, Full Postgame Interview

Um real quick I what I guess I know you were hit in the face so maybe you didn’t see but just what with with Collins Drive on you looked like his shoulder caught you um so what did you feel and then obviously Malik um felt a certain

Way about that and wanted to kind of stand up for you yeah no you know appreciate my my teammate standing up for me um I just I just felt something I don’t know what what it was if it was a shoulder or the elbow I just felt something hit in my face

Um but I don’t know what happened afterwards I was on the floor um I don’t know what happened was that double te what was it double te or yeah but again I you know we have to we have to have one another’s back no matter what good

Or bad win or lose we have to have one another’s back and this what we are doing right now I think you started the day on the injury report with a little knee tontis Dame had um an ankled so just how did how did you feel today and

Did that kind of affect you at all in terms of just what what you were able to do uh no uh obviously back to back played a lot of uh minutes yesterday I think 39 40 minutes tough game oh you know the schedule did not

Help two and two and a half hour flight got to the hotel around 2 a.m. early the game today you know that that definitely does not help we’ve had kind of a tough schedule that’s not excuse we got to take care of our body do whatever we can

You know lift weights recover etc etc but no I was just can have a little bit more water in the food B place um but um try to do try to do what I you know I can do just help the team um that’s a schedule wise did it did you did you

Feel it a little bit fourth quarter as they’re getting the Run they’re at home that energy is kind of going the wrong way for you all in terms of just what you no I I I don’t think it was energy I think if we didn’t make shots

Like you know there was a lot of wide open shots that we didn’t make you know now if you make one or two the momentum stops we have whole different game that’s pretty much it and there was they were making shot they made some tough one U lot of Mark one from the

Corner k l won from the corner then um again Mark then won from the left side you know um that made some tough ones was able to know get back to the game and then was the guy back in the game they control the game um wasn’t able to you know um be

Us when you know when your leg start to go sometimes you miss those open jump shots as a team not not you um does that at some point do you think okay everybody sure but does that make you think like okay we got to change our

Approach a little bit try to do anything differently or is it just keep doing the process how we know it should go and those shots will go in uh you know I think that’s the one of the toughest thing of um being a leader

Like do you do you you know take it the upon yourself or do you like keep on you know trust the process and Trust the system and Trust what you’ve been um doing all game and there’s sometimes that you have to do that uh and sometimes you just got to trust I feel

Like you know the whole game guys were wide open they were showing so much help and guys like the whole game we had wide open shots and end in the game we made few of them and later in the game we we couldn’t make nothing you know so um but

The approach doesn’t change like you have to keep on playing the right way and I think we played the right way we just missed a lot of shots um in the last eight minutes one thing that D mentioned is that he feels like recently it you guys are really putting in the

Effort on the defensive end yes that and because of that maybe the legs are going a little bit quicker and he’s got to think about okay maybe the rotation gets a little bit bigger or you know I give guys a little bit more rest so they can

Keep playing hard is that something I agree I definitely agree I feel like we um from practice like because we’re adding stuff and everybody’s excited and you know everybody you know uh sees what we’re trying to accomplish here and uh they’re excited of things that we’ve we

Can do as a team and how better we can get and like you know in practice people are going faster and running up and down and obviously you know having a new coach stuff you got to like kind of show What You’re Made Of and what you can do

You know uh you know in shoot arounds guys are more uh aggressive you know um shoot more cut more play harder we have longer shootter on because we adding stuff and then you go to the game and you’re like kind of like a little bit gas I’m I’m

Not going to lie but um at the end of day you find that happy balance right now it doesn’t matter and I hope everybody in this Lo room feels the same way that I feel it does not matter there’s so many things that we are doing right now that we are getting better

And the moment everything clicks and our legs are there and our minds are there and guys are healthy and we are you know everybody locked in um I think it’s going to go very well I really do believe you know um obviously I would love to win in Utah it’s one of the

Toughest place to win I believe uh but we did so many good things today um and the only reason we didn’t win it wasn’t because we didn’t execute the game plan the right way or we didn’t not defend us hard it was because we didn’t make shots at

The end um those shots I believe I trust my teammates they’re going to go in but we have to keep on working we are going to be a little bit gas you know tough road trip man we are going to Phoenix we playing two days then we stay Phoenix

Then we arrive and we walk at 5 6 p.m. and then next two days we have Minnesota Charlotte and then we have a game a day game day and then we have a again back to back you like it’s a very very hard uh schedule but when everything when

Everything uh settle down we are going to be very very fine I really do believe I believe we are training towards the right direction
