00:00 Mhm.
00:00 Nick, L. O. K. C. Thunder dot com. Um, Lindy, you tied Thunder rookie record
00:07 for threes tonight and mark was saying he just likes that you were able to get
00:11 off that many shots that you were working hustling. Um, we often talk
00:16 about hustle on the defensive end. What does hustle mean to you on the
00:18 offensive end? I'm just trying to create some action off the ball. I know I
00:23 bring a lot of shooting gravity, so you know, sometimes it takes a guy away. Um,
00:28 we play four on four and just opens up the floor even more. So just trying to
00:32 be a threat and the best way I can be, which is, you know, coming off of gets
00:36 shooting the ball. So you had a nice moment with Trey afterwards. Just your
00:40 thoughts on maybe kind of how special this is for all the fans in the
00:45 building and Oklahomans to see two of their own going at it one on one. Yeah,
00:49 it was a It was a cool moment for sure. I haven't really got to have a
00:53 conversation with him for a while, at least since high school. So, uh, you
00:59 know, that was all love. Great to see him doing big things. But two kids from
01:04 Norman, you know, meeting back up in the league. It's amazing.
01:08 Paris, awesome. Okay, see thunder dot com. Wanted to ask about the ball
01:13 movement tonight. You obviously a beneficiary of that. Just the second
01:17 straight game for you guys with over 30 assist. What's that? That style of
01:20 offense that you guys are really trying to get to on that end of the floor.
01:23 Just sharing the ball, not letting it stick too much too long in our hands.
01:29 Um, I think it just creates a lot of a lot of movement, a lot of action, and
01:34 it's tough for defense to guard if you're constantly moving the ball and
01:37 moving on offense. So just a key that we've been trying to lock in.
01:41 Lindy, can you just share any of that conversation that you and Trey had and
01:47 just kind of what the message was for each other? Uh, you know, we're both
01:51 proud of each other. Um,
01:52 and we're gonna be around all summer. So I guess I'm working together. Did
01:58 you have any Norman North teammates that like we're at this game or like
02:02 came to see both of you? Um, I think there was there was like one or two,
02:07 maybe some more if I didn't know. But, um, there was a lot of people from
02:11 Norman, especially at this game. So it was cool to see all those people. You
02:16 guys obviously grew up together, played together, then played against each
02:20 other in college. Just what has that been like, you know, playing with and
02:24 against each other for a lot of your basketball career? Uh, just, you know,
02:28 been a blessing,
02:29 um,
02:30 to see both of each like both of us grow as individuals as basketball players.
02:35 Um, you know, I can't
02:37 can't explain it really.
02:40 Intersect of the athletic. I come down at halftime. You guys are down big.
02:48 What was like the messaging at halftime? And then how did you guys kind of
02:52 regroup in the third quarter?
02:54 Uh, just stick to the game plan.
02:57 Uh, trust each other and trust the process. And, you know, just have fun.
03:03 Who, you know, fixed all the little things.
03:06 Yeah, just have fun. Do you have any specific things that you want to work
03:11 on over these last, like six games? Anything that you would like to see
03:15 yourself improve upon?
03:16 Um,
03:18 yeah, I mean, I could go on and on about what I want to get better at, but
03:23 specifically just continuing to, um, hunt good volume,
03:27 um, staying aggressive on offensive end. And, uh, you know, I'm excited to see
03:33 what how the defense is going to change along the way. So just make adjustments
03:38 on the fly.
03:39 Thanks. Thank you guys.
