01:00We were able to do that and I think that allowed us to gain that confidence to come out and

01:20give it a good run.

01:21You know, we peaked right at the right time and you got to give credit to the Morocco

01:26staff.

01:27The coaching staff, utilities, all of them, man.

01:28They all had us ready to go and available to play.

01:29Not too many injuries except for AB, but you know, that's a testament to the organization,

01:30man.

01:31They do things the right way.

01:32Like I said earlier, there's a lot of love here, both on and off the court, and so it's

01:33nice to see my teammates win.

01:34This is definitely for them.

01:35For me, just to get a good look.

01:57I didn't know if I'm going to make it or miss it.

02:00I wasn't really worried, but just to try to get a good look to give us a legit chance

02:04of winning.

02:05And you know, I work on that shot all the time and it finally went in at the right time.

02:10So I'm blessed that it happened today and in this moment.

02:23Early I put the reps, man, and it's nice that it finally paid off.

02:27Were you able to keep your focus after challenging that shot by Junmar that went in?

02:32I mean, it's about staying present.

02:37You know, you can't really let the things that happened in the past, you know, penetrate

02:42your mind and allow it to affect you because, you know, there's still time on the clock.

02:46There's still, you know, there's still hope.

02:49And for us, it's just focus on the next play until the clock reads 0-0-0.

02:53Even after I hit that shot, I know there's still one second, so there's no real time

02:57to celebrate.

02:58But I'm just glad that we came out with the win.

03:00Junmar definitely could have hit another one for the win, but, you know, we were lucky

03:04on that one.

03:05So just blessed that we got the win.
