Transcript

00:00When Jason goes down and can't play tonight, Jalen steps up,

00:04not only the 36 points, the 10 rebounds, the five assists.

00:10What does that say about him as a player?

00:12I mean, it's a lot.

00:15I mean, at the end of the day, he's

00:16willing to do whatever it takes for us to win.

00:17And he didn't come in saying he had to get 36, 10,

00:21and then he came in and said, I'm

00:22going to do whatever it takes to win.

00:23And that's what he told me yesterday.

00:24And that's just the mindset that he has.

00:28So regardless of if it's going well for him or not,

00:31he can take it to another level.

00:32And he did that for us.

00:33And I thought the guys kind of fed off of that.

00:35Jalen, how in general do you approach games

00:37when Jason's not going to play, when you know he's not

00:40going to be out there with you?

00:40And how specifically did that affect your mindset going

00:44into tonight's game and your plan?

00:46No different.

00:47You know, obviously, JT is the offensive leader of our team.

00:52We all kind of play off of him.

00:53But any given night, I could rise to the occasion.

00:58You know, I just do what the team needs me to do.

01:01You know, I've taken that mentality.

01:03And I think sometimes people, you know,

01:05think that's like the only thing that you can do.

01:08So, you know, tonight I got lucky, I guess.

01:11You know, but we'll be ready for the next one.
