I know you've been asked before, but with limited fans in the building, Um, and in some cases, no fans.

What is it like for yourself?

For your teammates, you know, generating your own kind of energy getting into the floor of these games.

Uh, luckily for me, I think some of the players has already been here.

Got an opportunity, Thio, get a feel for that in the bubble.

Um, And then, you know, for me starting off in Houston, we had, you know, minimum fans as well.

So you just gotta bring it every night.

You gotta bring it.

You've got to create your own energy.

You gotta creator on mojo.

Um, and it's basically, like practice, but more intensity, you know, and obviously more in line.

So tonight was a great win for us.

We stuck with it, you know, for four quarters.

And over time, Andi just kept playing.

Kept moving on possession after possession, you know, call some of the calls.

We're going our way, which is, you know, fine.

We just gotta keep playing through it.

And I think we did a really good job of that tonight.

Alex Schiffer, the athletic Hey, James.

I got two quick ones for you.

Look like at the end of the first quarter, you kind of called together a little conference on the court with those guys.

Just was it something you didn't like about the way that last play winner or something else that you want to discuss?

And then just what were you seeing on that?

That last play regulation?

I remember the first quarter, but I know the last play of regulation.

I was trying to get switch so Kevin could have the ball at the top of the floor.

Um, but it was just too much congestion.

And I don't want to risk the past.

So, you know, Shaq in the game clock was going down and I tried to, you know, create some separation and get off my shot.

And I think it was a pretty good look just a little too long.

Russian Winfield, New York Daily News.

Hey, James.

Obviously between you and Kevin and Kyrie in half court sets, you guys can create for whoever, yourselves or whoever else is on the floor.

But you just talk about the value of getting baskets in transition.

You guys scored 23 points in fast break today, and I feel like that kind of help set you guys up.

Yeah, I think that that and that's what our defense, you know, if we get stops and we get out in transition to makes our game a lot easier.

Obviously, half court sets were able to score and create shots for ourselves.

And, um, you know our teammates.

But you know, it's more difficult, you know, every possession to be able to score in half court.

You know, tonight when we needed stops, we got stops especially, You know, that that unit in the fourth quarter with Bruce and Joe and Jeff and TLC, um, did an unbelievable job of just being feisty.

You know, rebounding the basketball, creating some energy.

And that was the turning point of the game.

Matt Brooks, Nets daily.

Hey, James, you guys used Bruce Brown A little bit of a screener.

Was that something you guys had done previously?

Or was that something that kind of was busted out in the middle of the game?

And if so, what were your thoughts on that?

Just smart basketball.

Um, you know, Trey had it going He was more aggressive offensively, obviously, as he always is, but wanted to get him in some action, you know, and make him guard a little bit.

And Bruce did an unbelievable job of being a screener.

Um, you know, finishing around the room, making the right place.

I think for this team, um, each guy is gonna be a different a different night, you know?

And so whoever his number is called be able to step up and contribute in whatever way the team needs it.

And so tonight was one of those, um, you know, one of those keys and you know it's gonna be like that throughout the course of the year.
