Welcome back from the injury.

Gotta ask her about that last That last play coach.

That officer.

You guys talked about it before?

Just just speak to just take us through.

You going through that?

Getting the screen and freeing yourself up and and and pulling up like that?

Yeah.

Coach.

My grew up a beautiful play we executed, you know, from Chris.

Get it in the ball.

Having a having a bigger defender on him.

Still being able to make the past DeAndre sitting a good screen just to get me just amount of space.

So, you know, coach had a game plan and we executed, um, especially down the stretch, which was big for us.

Just a quick follow up.

We saw the game before where you were celebrating during the come back, and he was hopping on one leg, and I asked Coach of giving him a heart attack.

Um, how good with the leg feeling tonight and obviously looked like you started slow.

But then But then they got it going in the second half.

Yeah, it felt great.

You know, I wouldn't go out there if it didn't, um, you know, shout out to the training stuff.

You know, I've been working on it, Um, full time.

All around the clock.

I've been waiting to get back out there.

You know, I think we're making a push right now.

We're coming.

Locked in throughout.

The last one was a really big win for us to and, you know, to get the second one on the road trip.

You know, it's great energy moving into the next one.

Yeah.

Next is Kellen Olson, followed by Tim MacMahon.

A book.

Welcome back.

It felt like you and Chris really established the intensity on defense at the start of the fourth quarter.

How important is it for both you guys to do that in those moments when the game's on the line?

Not just all of it.

Not just me and Chris.

SB Everybody on that comes with communication.

Um, that comes the holding people accountable.

Andi, we're doing that.

You know, I think we had a few slip ups, um, tonight with a lot of offensive rebounds, but, you know, credit the Mavericks, You know, that's how they play.

Um, but, you know, we're getting better.

Um, and people are holding each other accountable.

You know this constant communication throughout the bench.

Um, so everybody wants to win, you know, it's fun to be a part of.

Next is Tim MacMahon, followed by Cody Cunningham.

You've hit five of those go ahead shots in the last five seconds in your career.

Now, how comfortable are you in those situations?

And how much do you look forward to?

Those opportunities?

Um, I look forward to him, You know, when the opportunity presents itself.

You know, that's why we work so hard.

That's why we trained so hard.

Um, that's use the imagination in my workouts to put myself in those in those situations.

Um, you know, So we have multiple threats out there where where teams kinda have to pick their poise.

Um, and it is good to be a part of like like I just said, but, you know, we executed on.

We came out with the big one, right?

Next is Cody Cunningham, with sons calm and then Brendan clean.

Hey, book following the game tonight, Chris was asked about you, and he said, You know, it's nice to play alongside a guy who pushes you, and he talked about the trust that you two have with one another.

Just what's it been like leading this team alongside Chris?

And how have you two been ableto elevate each other's games?

I'm like you said, You know, Iron sharpens iron.

You know, we both told each other accountable.

Um, both have that similar approach where we wanna win at all costs.

We're not worried about hurting anybody's feelings, you know, on our team or the other to, you know, we're going out there to win basketball games and whatever it takes to do that on, you know, I'm learning from him every day.

You know, he's been in every situation, you know, that I want to get to, um, you know, so I I have the cheat code of being alongside of him.

His backcourt mate.

Uh, you know, from on the court, off the court, just everything he does, you know, I'm a sponge to it.

I know two questions were Brendan clean with Forbes and then Christo Psaltis.

Hey, book, You talked about some of the stuff with Christians right there.

But just generally what were you able toe glean watching the guys do what they did while you were away?

That maybe you incorporated getting back on the floor because they seemed Thio click the past couple games even before this one.

Yeah, you know, that's that's why you know, you never wanna be injured.

You never want to miss games.

But, you know, I try to be locked in more.

Never when I'm out.

Um, just seeing the game in a different angles, seeing it at a different pace.

Um, on they were coming, all the big wins.

You know, Big shout out to our second unit.

Last game in this game way went down 5 to 10 in the stretch.

You know, they come in right off the best way to play, you know?

So that's lengths in Utah on Frank.

You know, all those guys just just ready to hope.

Um, you know, so that's really important for us.

Final question to be Krista Psaltis from Greece.

Hello, Devin.

Congratulations on the wind.

How big boost you get from the from this shut against the Mavericks tonight?

And do you believe that this win with the way that you want is a kind of end of a statement about your potential is a team we just try to win every game.

Um, we know the Mavs a good team over here in our conference.

Um, and every time we just way see a matchup, you know, we're ready to go s.

So I don't think it's anything bigger than that.

I don't think I'm gonna say this our breakout game at the time that we we turn the page of the team.

You know, we know it's a long season we know is gonna be a hard fought season.

So all we want to do is focus that we could focus on when that's ourselves, ourselves.

That's our team.

Um, from the coaching staff to the training staff to the players in here.

We're trying to be all locked in on all cylinders because we have goes where we want to go where we want to reach.
