00:00I think really after our start, there was frustration from our whole team.

00:09It's probably the most significant thing for me in the game,

00:13is the way we reacted to being down, and Trey in particular.

00:17That's something that has been a point of emphasis for him,

00:20just keeping his poise.

00:22If we start slow, usually he's the head of the snake,

00:26and he can't internalize that to the extent that it takes him back.

00:32He threw himself into the game,

00:34and probably the biggest thing in my mind that he did tonight

00:38is he really just pushed the ball.

00:41He did a great job forcing tempo, and he forced guys to run.

00:46Then whether it was him pushing on the dribble,

00:49or even more importantly, passing the ball ahead.

00:52He gave guys opportunities to make plays in the open court,

00:56and trusted his teammates.
