00:00 Well, he was 11 for 14, so he had a really good game.
00:05 A couple of them were some threes
00:08 that we are, I guess, sort of living with over a hand
00:11 above the break.
00:12 He had one in transition that was a tough shot.
00:16 Overall, I felt like when Shea was off the court,
00:20 he had probably three or four possessions
00:23 where he drove the ball.
00:25 And again, our secondary help was non-existent,
00:28 when he got on the rim.
00:30 He's a fantastic young player.
00:35 Those minutes that he was in by himself
00:37 were sort of the turning point in the game
00:39 a little bit to start the fourth.
00:40 We adjusted and subbed and tried to get Walker
00:46 a little bit of a blow, knowing that Shea was coming back.
00:50 And our team defense really struggled in that stretch.
00:53 It wasn't just the protection around the rim.
00:55 I thought our communication on the ball
00:57 was pretty poor to start the fourth quarter.
01:01 He also made a couple of tough pull-ups.
01:02 It was one of those nights where, with him,
01:04 I feel like any mistake we made was exposed with a made shot.
01:10 From a percentages standpoint, I wouldn't
01:12 expect that every time with him.
01:14 But he's a heck of a player.
