00:00She has a lot of unique circumstances heading into tonight's game.
00:08Just what did you think overall of the effort that you guys are able to bring through four
00:11quarters tonight?
00:12Yeah, we fought and gave it a chance.
00:13I think that's what it's done for us every night.
00:14You want to win a game, you've got to fight.
00:15We did a pretty good job of that tonight.
00:25On the defensive end, just you guys held them to 94 points and season nine steals and forced
00:29turnovers.
00:30Just on that end of the floor, what was working so well for you guys?
00:36We knew their size, we knew how to play aggressive, scramble around, be fast, I'm open to the
00:41floor.
00:42We tried to do something for each other on the defensive end.
00:47Share what was last night and this morning like for you and the team, just with the whole
00:52travel delay situation.
00:53Yeah, it was obviously weird.
00:54Nobody expects to, I guess, not sleep through the night and sleep through the day and play.
01:06But with that being said, it's things happen in life, so it's time to be a judge out there
01:12and play basketball.
01:13I had no complaints.
01:14I just wanted to ask you about the sort of dust up between Lou and Kevin.
01:21What was your perspective on that play and maybe Lou's defense against Kevin?
01:27Yeah, Lou's obviously not a great player, plays very hard.
01:32I honestly don't think Lou knew Kevin was behind him.
01:37We were just getting to us and I think he tried to get his arm out to us and it was
01:42just a reaction.
01:43I don't think Lou would ever try to elbow someone in the face or anything like that,
01:46just the way it looked.
01:50Ken Rich, another great night for him, just bringing some energy out off the bench for
01:53you guys.
01:54Just what did you think of what he was able to bring to the floor tonight?
01:57Yeah, he was himself.
01:58He does every night, brings energy.
01:59Plays fast, plays hard defensively.
02:00And first of the day, we need to work on him.
02:01That's all I can say.
02:02We'll take one on the Zoom now.
02:03Cristo Saltas, go ahead with your question.
02:04Hey, Shea.
02:05Hope you're doing well.
02:06Shea, tonight, did you see any kind of consistency?
02:07Yeah, we were pretty good.
02:13Better, so defensively than offensively.
02:15Yeah, we made strides for sure in the past two games.
02:26Pretty good, better so defensively.
02:33We have made strides for sure in the past two games.
02:37But that's just about continue to get better.
02:40Focus on the little things that that'll make us also better.
02:43Thank you, chef. That's a wrap for Thunder Veil. Let's see everyone.
