00:00 Hello, OKC Thunder.com.
00:03 Olivier, I'm sure you knew you were going to be in the rotation,
00:06 but you got thrust in very early.
00:08 What was that like for you to get out there and just get so many minutes tonight?
00:13 I mean, it was a great opportunity.
00:15 I'm thankful for the coach to trust me out there.
00:18 I felt like we made some runs and we got it going a little bit and it was good,
00:24 but then it came up short.
00:27 You hit your first career three-pointer,
00:30 you got the pass from your friend, Teo.
00:33 Just tell me about that moment.
00:34 I mean, that was great.
00:35 I'm happy it came from him.
00:37 I'm hoping for many more to come.
00:41 Paris Lawson, OKC Thunder.com.
00:44 It's just your fifth game in the NBA and you
00:46 step into some really extended minutes tonight just with guys out.
00:49 How are you able to keep ready and keep
00:52 your mind sharp ready to step into those opportunities?
00:55 Yeah, that's a good question.
00:57 That's definitely something that even in the G League,
01:00 Coach G talked about a lot, just being ready.
01:03 Whatever the coach's plan is for you,
01:07 just if it's 25, 15, 10,
01:10 five minutes, just come in and have an impact.
01:12 That's just the mindset that I'm trying to have every game.
01:14 Andrew Schleich with The Athletic.
01:18 What was it like guarding Delmas out there?
01:21 He's a strong guy. As you can see,
01:23 a couple of times, I got bullied a little bit.
01:26 But trying to get stronger as part of the game.
01:29 And it was great playing against a guy that level.
01:33 Going to watch some film, learn, and just keep growing as a player.
