00:00Reporter 3 Here goes.
00:06You guys played a lot of minutes against Knight, shortened rotation.
00:09What do you think of the way you guys were able to keep pace with them through the first
00:12three quarters there?
00:13Yeah, it was a tough game for us because we had only six players.
00:19I think we fight.
00:23We fight, as you said, three quarters, but then I think we got a little bit tired because
00:31of the game before.
00:33You had an early rhythm in this one.
00:35You have a career-high 25 points.
00:38Just where did you feel you were able to get your offensive rhythm tonight?
00:42I mean, from the first quarter, I think I scored my first, I hit my first four shots,
00:50so I said that I was feeling good, I said that I'm going to keep going.
00:56It seemed like Xavier was able to find you on a few backdoor cuts and things through
01:01the lane.
01:02What's that chemistry like between the two of you?
01:05I mean, me and X, we have a great relationship, great relationship.
01:12She's like my big brother on the court because she knows a lot of basketball.
01:18She sees a lot of things and she's talking to me in the game and she helps me understand
01:24some things better.
01:25I can say that.
01:26And yeah, she's my guy, a great player.
01:31What did you think of just the extended minutes, the big minutes tonight and how you all kind
01:36of rose to the occasion and handled that?
01:39If you ask me, it's like a dream, you know, come here, Staples Center.

02:10single day and get better.
