Kevin, just I know losing a game is frustrating, losing a series even more so, but to have opportunities, end of regulation, end of overtime, up a couple possessions, and to not close it out, how disappointing is that? Um, I mean, everyone in the world know, you know, how how bad we wanted this game and not just this game, but this series. Um especially, you know, with when with someone like Dame goes out like that last um last game, you want to, you know, rally for him. So definitely disappointment we didn’t uh finish, but you know, we we came out exactly how we was supposed to. Um we was we was hungry. Uh we showed that we just got to finish, man. Um so we all can learn from it. You guys have some turnovers tonight. Just what did you kind of see on those possessions? Um really they just upped the physicality. Um it was nothing, you know, different, but um we just got to do better with the ball. Um it wasn’t anything special. Like I said, they just, you know, did what they were supposed to do being down. You know, you got to up up the intensity and and um we just didn’t take care of the ball. It’s your first time in an elimination game with Giannis. Just kind of what do you see from his ability to pick his spots, get into you guys? Um we went on uh we went up early because of it, you know. Um he was being selfless. um and that got his uh shots and everything opened up for him later on. So, um you know, we should be playing um we should be playing a game six, but we didn’t we didn’t handle business the last uh minute of the game and um everything that went right for them, you know, that went right for them and everything that went wrong for us went wrong for us. And um yeah, uh you come up with that screen in the two-way game with Giannis. I thought you got you that that you like. Just what did you see on that possession? Um, you know, I just we rep it, you know, so I let the defenders um tell me what to do really and I have my my shot on the right um elbow. I just came up short. Um usually those are automatic though, so I’m going to trust myself with that shot every time. This third lineup played well tonight. Really had all serious shot found a group. Why do you just think y’all clicked as well as y did you think so successful? um that lineup uh we’re we’re fast and you know there’s we’re younger um so we’re we’re able to get out and um play really good defense and let that be our offense and um and we’re all shooters so you know AJ GT me um whoever gets you we just run and uh we fill fill the spots and um like I said we let our defense be our offense with that group and it’s been successful not just today but you know um throughout the series and um throughout the last um regular season games. What do you take from this experience moving forward? Um, just the just the atmosphere, you know, the intensity of the playoffs versus regular season. Um, you know, the importance of every possession, especially late. Um, you know, this is just this is uh the best way to learn, man. Um, you know, when things don’t go your way, ad adversity hits you and um, you know, you really you really got to figure it out. So, uh, this is the best way to learn, man. It came up short, but we all going to be better from it.
