00:01You just hit the game-winning shot in an NBA Finals game
00:04in front of your home crowd
00:06How does that feel?
00:07It feels cool
00:08I mean everyone's pretty excited
00:10I'm excited too
00:14I'm excited too
00:15We're all excited
00:16We're enjoying it right now
00:18But we're just focused on the next game now
00:22In terms of that locker room moment
00:24I'll just say stuff like we're fine
00:25Like stay with it
00:26We're fine
00:26We know it's a game of runs
00:28We're a resilient group
00:29We've been through a lot
00:30We've came back plenty of times
00:32When we're down
00:33So just staying with it
00:34Weathering the storm
00:35Not being too down
00:36Orangry
00:37Orgetting mad
00:38Orfrustrated
00:39Just staying with it
00:40Cut it down to 18
00:41Cut it down to 12
00:42Cut it down to 6
00:43Just staying with it pushing through
00:44It's a 48 minute game
00:45So just playing till the end
00:48It's unbelievable
00:49You know
00:52The tip
00:53How he had to control it
00:55And tip it in from
00:56I mean
00:58Like I said
00:59You know
01:00That has to be
01:03The most iconic shot in the history of New York
01:05Basketball
01:06I mean
01:07I'm not you guys
01:07You guys know better than me
01:09But
01:10It was just unbelievable
01:14Jalen played the whole half
01:15OG didn't
01:16But
01:17We rode those guys
01:18And they did a fantastic job
01:22Of trying to play both ends of the floor
01:25Trying to play fast
01:26While trying to give it to us defensively
01:31We knew there was still a lot of time left in the game
01:33And you know
01:34We didn't show film
01:35My coaches didn't want to show any film to the guys
01:38We let them sit for a little bit
01:41Talk amongst themselves
01:42Think about it
01:44And then the biggest thing was
01:45You know I told the guys we could play better
01:48Right now we're letting the ball get to the paint
01:50And we got to do a better job of keeping the ball out the paint
01:53We got to play faster
01:55So
01:56We're not going to be able to call any plays
01:58We just have to get into our actions right away
02:00Keep trying to touch the paint
02:01Keep trying to move the ball
02:02Keep trying to keep the place space
02:04Floored
02:05Excuse me
02:05The floor spaced
02:08And
02:08The reality of it is
02:11Not just in basketball
02:12Not just in sports
02:13But in life too
02:14I think you can all
02:16Attest to this
02:17You got to have a little luck
02:19In life
02:20You got to have a little luck in sports
02:24But you can also go make your own luck too
02:28So you got to have some
02:29Natural luck
02:30And then you got to have some
02:32Luck where you're going to make your own luck
02:35And that was probably the biggest message
02:38Long time to play still
02:40We got to get a little lucky
02:43But let's do what we do
02:44So we can make some of that luck happen
02:48And
02:48And then
02:48The last thing that we said to him was
02:51Let's cut it to round 15 to 17
02:54Going into the fourth
02:55And if we do
02:56We'll give ourselves a chance
03:01What was your viewpoint of OG's tip in?
03:06Yeah
03:06Um
03:19Sorry
03:20Yeah
03:21I was
03:22Top of the key
03:25Got a decent look
03:26Obviously it was a little far
03:27But
03:27Had two guys contestant
03:30So I was able to get some pressure on the rim
03:33I got a good bounce off the rim
03:35And um
03:36OG being OG just made a play
03:39Boy
03:40Um
03:41Really wasn't that much to be said at that point
03:44It was really just
03:47We need to chip away
03:48We need to hit singles
03:50Get on base
03:51Um
03:52And Mike plays from there
03:53And um
03:55I feel like we did that tonight
03:57And we found a way to really just
03:58Continue to do the things that have helped us get to this point
04:03And um
04:04It'll be huge for us to kind of build off that for next game
04:07And to do that
04:07We were in love
04:07We will talk about dance
04:07Good
04:08Scripture
04:08Where
04:08How
04:08Wait
04:08And
