00:00Overall, were you satisfied with the offensive process due to the fourth and overtime?
00:05Well, first of all, on a night where we didn't shoot the ball great,
00:09I thought we manufactured really well.
00:11You know, like we got offensive rebounds, we got stuff in transition.
00:15We were able to attack the paint, attack the rim.
00:19So that's what you have to do when you're not making a ton of jump shots.
00:23And we did that for much of the game.
00:25In terms of down the stretch and overtime, we'll take a look at it.
00:28But it becomes an execution game at that point, trying to generate the best shots you can.
00:32It's hard for both teams, obviously, in that situation.
00:35And credit Denver, they made a couple more plays.
00:37We have to embrace what this is.
00:39It's the playoffs.
00:39It's the highest level of basketball.
00:41It's incredibly challenging.
00:43And this is how you become stronger as a team, is you learn from these experiences,
00:47you stand up to them, and you improve.
00:49You know, we've got to rise to the challenge of it.
00:51They're a really good team.
00:52They're obviously up 2-1 in the series.
00:54And our challenge is to be a better team on Sunday.
