00:00Wow, our thoughts, wow. It was a tough one and they are good. They are really good. They are incredibly physical.
00:08I think that was the number one thing we had to battle through. Credit to Kai and Jumar battling through there.
00:15The pigs were really physical with us. And of course Justin, they were physical with Justin.
00:20They rotated two, almost three guys on him and just banged him all game long.
00:25To overcome that and find a way to win was really special.
00:29Again, especially because of our home court, our home crowd and the people watching.
00:34I mean, I had so many good lucks today. I can't tell you how many good lucks I had before the game, all throughout the day.
00:42There was a lot of attention on the game and our guys were pressured to win and they found a way. I'm proud of them.
00:52It was a good game. They really challenged us. It was a good break, a 40 minute game. It was very competitive from start to end.
01:02I just want to give credit to my teammates for them to keep fighting until the end and make a big plays towards the end of the game.
01:15Yeah, New Zealand is a really good team and I'm just happy. We worked really well for this and we just wanted to protect home court and I'm happy we got to win.
