Congratulations.

Nice for the I would like to ask you how how refreshing for you is another double double performance and what it means this win.

Especially with the way that you want tonight.

Um, I think the team has continued to come together.

We don't know.

Right path right now.

We got a lot of momentum, um, playing good inspired basketball.

Uh, chemistry is increasing with these games.

I think we get better with these games.

Um, we're finding that flow than our team.

So I think it's coming together at the right time.

Christie raking Marcus after seeing what John Wall's been through over the past couple of years.

What is it like for you to see him tonight?

Playing against his former team and having such a good game?

I don't expect anything less.

Um, no, he's got a long time and on I've seen this approach.

The big games and games that No, I have some type of imported storms.

I've seen them perform every time that I love.

So, like I said, I don't expect anything less.

Jim McMahon, e DaMarcus What was your what was your take on that little interaction between Russ and John Wall.

The ledge of the difficulties.

Um, that's nothing.

Um, just two competitors.

Trash talking is a part of the game as much as they don't want it to be.

It is, um, just just two guys with, you know, a lot of passion behind their craft, speaking their minds.

So nothing more.

Nothing less.

Two hours, our embarrassment, the market.

So can you attribute the concentrated effort on the three point defense that you all have?

This is the second game in a row you've had.

You all have held a Napo knit toe under 20% shooting from the three point line.

I ask that question my time.

I'm sorry.

I was just asking.

Who do you all attribute this to?

Who want to coach?

Your staff has taken the effort, um, for you all to play better.

Three point defense.

You gave a 46% in Detroit, but against Dallas.

And tonight y'all held them toe under 20%.

Um, credit entire.

Uh, they've been very detailed on the areas we need to improve, man and just the guys in the locker rooms.

Willingness that, you know, correct those mistakes.

It's a combination but credit to the entire caution stuff.

I think they've done an incredible job.

You bearing.

So, um, like I said, I think things are just coming together at the right time.

Telecom.

Johnny, Any Marcus?

Last three games you've been starting, your numbers have increased playing time, obviously is there as well.

But what do you attribute to this?

You know, improvement in your play in terms of scoring output, three point shooting and defense.

I'm confident, Um, confidence is so important, so important in this game, Um, you could go to train my hours and hours and hours if you don't have confidence back that train is there, um, employment.

So, you know, my confidence is increasing.

I'm getting my legs underneath me, believing in my abilities to go out there and, you know, do certain things I'm believing in my body toe carry the loan.

So, uh, just a combination of things that, or her was I feel like I had, you know, get over the or mental hurdles.

I had to get over the, you know, perform at a certain level.

So And how does that?

I want to say I'm completely there yet, but definitely on the right back.

How does this help you when Christian comes back and you know when he starts back up again and you have to come off the bench does does this run help you in that regard?

Um, I don't know.

We'll see how that, you know, scenario plays out.

But all I could do is be ready with my name is called, and that's what I plan on doing.
