00:00Let's hear from Tom Thibodeau next, Scotty.

00:03Of course, very proud of his team.

00:06So proud.

00:06We'll always have the belief, I think, in each other.

00:09You know, I think you get to the playoffs,

00:12it's about really your mental toughness,

00:16your defense, and your teamwork,

00:18and always having the belief that you can do something better

00:21and you can find a way to win, right?

00:23So it's a long game, keep playing, and that's what they did.

00:27Yeah, listen, you know, the other game I remember

00:32that they melted down was the Cleveland game

00:34when they lost a 25-point lead at the Garden in Boston

00:37and the Cavs came back and beat them.

00:39And I think that's what gave the Cavs the belief

00:41that they could, you know, win the East, beat the Celtics,

00:46go to the final, be the top team in the East,

00:50get home court, the whole deal.

00:52And then now I've seen the Knicks do them twice,

00:54backdoor, twice in the second half, down 20.

00:59They were down 20 last night.

01:02Again, late.

01:04I mean, that was a fourth-quarter comeback.

01:07And have you ever seen a guy before have no points in a game

01:09and then have 14 in the fourth quarter like Bridges did?

01:12I mean, this guy, he's already paid off

01:15for all those number-one draft picks in spades.

01:19In the last two nights, he was worth all those draft picks.
