00:00Gallo, Casey Thunder dot com. Jeremiah, you all kind of started to switch some
00:05late defensively. What we're all able to get done in that fourth quarter just
00:10to seal this one the way you did. Yeah, I think we did a great job just
00:13executing on both ends of the floor. We made some made some good shots on the
00:16offensive end. I think we did did a great job. Um, just switching 1 to 5
00:20like you said, I think I think it's a plus for us to be able to be versatile
00:24in different aspects of the game. And then I was saying just the last about
00:27like 45 to 30 seconds of the game. We did a great job executing in bounds,
00:31not turning the ball over, not making dumb plays or anything. So it was a
00:34good job for us. What did you see from Aaron as just driver slasher cutter?
00:41Seems like those are things just kind of within the flow, very reactive, not
00:46isolating necessary, but he was scoring very efficiently. I feel like it's
00:51really like not a surprise as we see it every day. He's coming in there every
00:55day working, competing at a high level, making everybody else better. So when
00:58his numbers called, he's doing things like that out there. So kudos to him
01:01and just being prepared in all situations and just being able to trust
01:04his teammates and we can trust him as well. Paris Lawson. Okay, Thunder dot
01:08com. Wanted to ask about the first quarter and the start that you guys got
01:12out to is really, really hot start for you guys. Seemed like it started on the
01:14defensive end and being able to get stops. How big of a factor was the
01:18defense in getting out to that strong start? Yeah, I think it's a huge, it's
01:21a huge thing. Be able to set the tone to the game, being being physical, being
01:24in our shell, being able to stay, stay, be a good, doing a good job on the
01:28defensive end because I think that's our best offense when we get stops and
01:31get out on the offensive end. But I think, I think it's a good, it shows
01:35that when we're locked in defensively, we have a trend of being able to
01:38compete for the full game. So I think we did a great job tonight with that.
01:44One more. Um, wanted to ask these past four games. Obviously you guys have
01:47played some really tough opponents. Have you been able to carry some lessons
01:50over into, especially when it comes to those late game kind of executing and
01:53needing to execute really well. We've been able to carry some of those
01:56lessons over. Absolutely. I feel like the last maybe two to three of our
02:01maybe five to six games came down to the wire and just us being able to
02:04execute those little things that can help us win games is really important
02:07to us. But even though going to the last game in phoenix, we played a
02:11really good game against a really good team. We can't get, we can't be
02:14complacent with only losing by whatever it was, 5 to 10 points. So we were in
02:19work today, just being able to look at the film, make sure just doing the
02:22things that are going to help us win games in the future.
02:25That's true.
02:27Of course.
