00:02Jeremiah, they got off to a start with offensive rebounds.
00:06Seems like you all were able to kind of
00:08calm that down for a bit.
00:10What's the process like of trying to deal with that
00:13in real time, especially with a guy like Powell,
00:16like that's his specialty?
00:17Yeah, you know, you just gotta go out there
00:19and just have a great start.
00:20You know, they had a great start and just,
00:22we just had to make adjustments,
00:23but I kind of take a fault for that
00:24because I feel like I can get rebounds
00:26and just trying to get those guys out of there,
00:28but they did a great job tonight.
00:30I feel we just can go back
00:31and just we have a rest day tomorrow.
00:32So just go back and just reboot
00:34and just get back to work.
00:37Despite that, you all kind of kept this
00:38within striking distance
00:40through all the first three quarters.
00:43What helped you all stay in this one
00:45as long as you did and, you know,
00:48put some pressure on them?
00:49Yeah, we just got to just keep trusting
00:51what we work on and just one another, you know,
00:54the coaches bring a great game plan.
00:58And so we just got to keep trusting that
00:59and just keep trusting one another
01:00on both ends of the floor
01:02and just keep trusting our shots
01:03and just on the defensive end,
01:05guarding all the players just together.
01:08Paris Lawson, OKC Thunder.com.
01:09Coach was just saying that, you know,
01:10one of the numbers that popped out on the score sheet
01:12was points in the paint
01:14and obviously just 20 for you guys tonight.
01:16What were you feeling out there?
01:17What was everybody feeling out there
01:18just in terms of the difficulty
01:19of maybe getting into the paint
01:20and generating those looks inside tonight?
01:22Yeah, they're really tough team to guard
01:24because they have bigs that are really long
01:26and really big inside,
01:27but they also have great shooters on the perimeter.
01:29So it's tough to just kind of give away one of them
01:32because, you know, we try to play defense together,
01:35but, you know, they're just a great team
01:37being able to shoot threes
01:38and being able to be big on the inside.
01:39So it's tough to guard,
01:41but, you know, you just have to go out there
01:42and compete at a high level.
01:46Kim Hall to the room.
01:49All right, we're going to go first up, Dale.
01:52Appreciate it.
