00:00 Obviously, just a really, really well-played game by really our whole team.
00:07 I thought defensively we did a really good job guarding two players that are very tough to cover.
00:17 Obviously, Doncic ended up with 14 assists, but I felt like he had to play on the perimeter for most of the game.
00:24 13 of his 20 shots were threes. We didn't let him play in the middle of the court too much, which obviously was huge for us.
00:32 Defensively, we mixed in a variety of defenses. Offensively, 37 assists. I mean, that's who we're trying to be.
00:42 The ball was really moving around. Obviously, the second group caught a rhythm, especially Kelly and Jordan moving the ball.
00:52 I thought guys like Simo and Ocai did a great job playing off of them. Kiante made some big plays.
00:57 Walker did a great job operating in the dunker on the offensive side. Defensively, obviously, anchored us in the zone.
01:06 And then Jordan, the triple-double. JC is a big part of our team.
01:15 He sometimes unnecessarily catches some heat when he doesn't play great, but the way that he operates in our locker room with his teammates,
01:25 with the coaching staff, he's a big part of the fiber of the team here.
01:32 And he had the two big games, Toronto and San Antonio. He closed the game. His last two games were not his best.
01:40 He did not close those games. And then he came back tonight, obviously had a spectacular game.
01:46 I think it's the first triple-double here since '08. I said that like you guys don't know that already.
01:55 So, yeah, just a really good team win. Obviously, based on how the last game against them went, a really big turnaround for our group.
02:07 I thought the approach was there this morning. I thought the approach was there pregame and all the way through.
02:12 I thought the team did a pretty good job of not being too reactionary.
02:17 Two guys like Irving and Doncic, we tried our best to dictate where they had to go with the ball.
02:26 So just a really fun night at the Delta Center.
