Jacque Vaughn after the Nets’ loss over the Cavaliers

>> Meghan: JACQUE, YOU MENTIONED ABOUT WHAT THIS CLEVELAND CAVALIERS TEAM COULD DO AND THAT THEY HAVE FOUND THE LAST COUPLE GAMES, FOR THIS ONE WALKING AWAY FROM IT, IN WHAT WAYS DID THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS GET INTO THAT RHYTHM AND WHAT THE MAIN FACTORS? >> YEAH, IT STARTED PRETTY EARLY FOR THEM AGAIN, JUST

LIKE IN PARIS. MITCHELL STARTED OFF PRETTY AGGRESSIVE, AND REALLY GOT IT GOING EARLY, KIND OF SET THE TONE, WAS ABLE TO DO THAT AGAIN TONIGHT. WE RESPONDED, EVEN GOING TO HALFTIME. SO I THINK OVERALL, THE REBOUNDING PIECE, TRANSITION, THE THREES A LITTLE BIT, AND WHO WE WANTED TO GIVE UP

THREES TO, BUT OVERALL, YOU GIVE THEM A LOT OF CREDIT FOR SETTING THE TONE EARLY. >> JACQUE, THIS IS TWOFOLD. WHEN YOU HAVE A ROSTER AS THREADBARE AS IT WAS IN YOUR MIND IS THAT, DID THAT DIRECTLY LEAD TO THE WAY THEY STARTED THE THIRD QUARTER, OR

DID YOU JUST NOT LIKE WHAT YOU SAW THE WAY YOU GUYS CAME OUT OF THE LOWERING ROOM? >> WELL, OUR STARTERS WERE, YOU KNOW, IN THERE IN THE THIRD, AND YOU JUST GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR JUST TURNING IT UP A NOTCH. I’LL ASK J.B. WHAT HE SAID TO

HIS GUYS AND MAYBE USE FOR IT OUR GUYS. BUT OVERALL, YOU JUST GIVE THEM CREDIT. THEY JUST CAME OUT AND PUT THEIR FOOT DOWN, AND REALLY WERE AGGRESSIVE. WHETHER THAT WAS ON BOTH ENDS OF THE FLOOR, PUTTING THEIR HANDS ON US. SO GOOD LESSONS FOR US TO

LEARN HOW WE NEED TO PLAY ON A NIGHTLY BASIS, ESPECIALLY AGAINST A HIGH-QUALITY TEAM LIKE THE CAVS. >> AND WHEN BEN HAS BEEN ON THE FLOOR, ARGUABLY HIS TWO BEST TRAITS HAVE BEEN CREATING FOR OTHERS, PARTICULARLY FROM DEEP, AND REBOUNDING. AND YET ONE REBOUND AND TWO ASSISTS.

I MEAN, DO YOU CHALK A LITTLE BIT OF THAT UP TO JUST GUYS MISSING SHOTS, AND NOT A LOT OF FLOOR SPACING? OR WHAT DID YOU SEE FROM HIS PLAY? >> YEAH, I THINK IT’S GOING TO BE, I DON’T KNOW, PARAMOUNT FOR US TO, YOU KNOW, GOING FORWARD WHEN WE HAVE HEALTHY

BODIES, IS TO HAVE THE RIGHT LINEUPS AROUND HIM, SO THAT HE CAN LOOK GOOD IN THOSE LINEUPS. AND SO YOU KNOW, JUST IMAGINE WHO WE’RE MISSING TONIGHT, LONNIE ANOTHER SHOOTER, C.J. ANOTHER SHOOTER, DO ANOTHER SHOOTER, TO SPREAD THE FLOOR. SO IT DOES MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT WHEN WE’RE MISSING

GUYS LIKE THAT BUT DON’T WANT TO TAKE AWAY FROM ESPECIALLY SEEING HOW OUR YOUNG GUYS PLAYED TONIGHT WITH JUICE AND ENERGY. I GIF MOO A LOT OF CREDIT,

Head Coach Jacque Vaughn discusses the energy his team played with tonight and is looking forward to getting a healthy roster back. Subscribe for daily sports videos!
