00:00Coach, is there any chance that that last shot was a pass?

00:06No.

00:06To our guys' credit, you know, in the NBA, it's really true.

00:09You talk about this all season long in situational basketball.

00:12When the shot goes up, there's no reason not to crash everybody.

00:15So it was good to see our guys do that.

00:17Obviously, you could say it's a lucky play, but Aaron is a big athletic man,

00:22and he met the ball early.

00:24I couldn't tell if it was good or not.

00:25I was preparing for overtime.

00:27So this was a game where I was really proud of us for three quarters.

00:32They have a lot to be proud of in the fourth quarter.

00:34They were incredible in that quarter with their defense

00:37and the way they picked up.

00:38And, you know, it's one of those things where that's going to be on NBA TV someday,

00:42and I'm glad we won the game.

00:43I'm glad it will be on Nugget Day and not Clipper Day.

00:45So hell of a win, 2-2 going home.
