  • But I think games like that really help us now.

  • I think we're all looking back on it, pretty happy that that game happened early.

  • I think allows us to build and to learn, understand what approaching to come into every game when we started this game was phenomenal defensively and it allowed us to get a lot of fast breaks on offense.

  • Jaylen Brown stepped up big time, and I think a lot of it for us is just continue to find the find open man making the simple plays and will be in good shape.

  • So you now face John Cena Campo and the Greeks on Saturday is the first time Team USA has ever had to play reigning M v P in a major event.

  • What do you expecting out of him?

  • Needing that came way all obviously known from the league.

  • I think we'll rely on Chris and Brooke a lot for this guy.

  • Don't for it, but just continue doing what we do.

  • And on top of that, being a defensive pest that we've been, I think that starts with the guards being able to pressure the guards to make a tough one as much as we can.

  • Make the right place.

  • I thought we were trying to slow it down.

  • Town has played a great pace.
