00:00Kyrie, we talked to Luka earlier about your performance in the four-quarter.
00:03He said you were born for these moments, called you Mr. Four-Quarter.
00:06So for one, I guess, what does it mean to hear your teammate talk about you like that?
00:10And in the end, in the four-quarters, is it something as simple as,
00:12does a switch flip off to you?
00:14Like, why are you so comfortable in these moments?
00:15I appreciate his words.
00:18Luka's funny, man.
00:19I feel like we're both born for this, if you ask me.
00:22But, you know, it's just basketball, man.
00:25It's, you know, you got to give the game what it needs at times.
00:28And I felt like in that fourth quarter, we had a good run going.
00:33And those guys were, you know, pressuring the basketball up the floor.
00:37So when we got into the paint, I felt like we just had to convert, get a few stops.
00:41We were playing back and forth game for a little bit with them.
00:44But I had confidence in our guys when we got stops in that fourth quarter,
00:48and we got on transition.
00:49We just had to continue to push and get some easy ones.
00:52And then down the stretch, that's where we make our money, man.
00:56You know, since All-Star break, we've been up there with some of the top teams
01:00in the league.
01:00We're finishing clutch games.
01:01We have a great clutch record.
01:04So I think we have that poise now.
01:06And, you know, we're showcasing just our skill sets out there that a lot of teams
01:11have to guard, the depth that we have.
01:12A lot of teams have to guard, each one of us.
01:14And you got to pick your poison.
01:16So in the fourth quarter, when I'm being aggressive, I know it opens opportunities
01:18not only for myself but for my teammates.
01:21Harry, you're known for being a historian of the game right here.
01:25Thank you.
01:25I'm one of few.
01:27I'm one of the few that are actually a historian of the game in my age.
01:30Yeah, go ahead.
01:30With teams being 154-0 undefeated when they go up 3-0, just what's the
01:36significance of that stat?
01:38How does that feel, just being 3-0 in this position right now?
01:41It means absolutely nothing right now.
01:45You know, that's not even something I'm thinking about.
01:47You know, going into game four, it's still 0-0.
01:50And that's the type of motivation and mentality we have in that locker room.
01:53It's not just me.
01:54We feel like the job isn't finished, and we're going against one of the
01:58greatest teams in the world.
01:59You know, they still have the capability of beating us on any given night,
02:02and we have to treat them like that.
02:03So, you know, it's a time to celebrate after the game.
02:06But once I get up here, it's on to the next thing and thinking about my
02:10recovery work, putting my kids to bed, watching film, and just getting ready
02:14for this war, man, war-like battle that's going to come next game, you know.
02:19So got to appreciate where we are, but at the same time, don't take it
02:23for granted, and don't take the other team for granted because they're pretty
02:26sure they're going to watch this interview.
02:28They're going to study all our habits and see if we, you know,
02:31lay down a little bit and get comfortable.
02:33I don't want to get comfortable at all.
02:34I want to push forward even more so and have our best game, game four,
02:38and live with the results after that.
