00:00He lit a fire on us and we had to respond, so I'm glad we did.
00:05I mean, it was a combination of that moment.
00:07We're going to have our brothers back when he defends us,
00:09but it was also understanding this is one of those games
00:14where most of the guys want to back-to-back.
00:17Phoenix had been off for a couple days.
00:19They started 1-3 and knew that they were going to come out playing desperate,
00:23so they played unbelievable in the first half.
00:26We just tried to, as they say, weather the storm, just execute,
00:32give ourselves a chance, and that third quarter was the run that we needed
00:36to get back into it, and then it's just a game of execution,
00:39and thankfully we just made a couple more plays,
00:41but definitely that moment just kept us in the moment for sure.
00:45It kind of opened up the game a little bit, and our crowd got into it,
00:50and our guys just did a great job of finding energy on a back-to-back.
00:55I loved it. It fueled our team.
00:57We didn't have that edge to us to start the game.
01:02Found it a little bit in the second quarter,
01:04but then they came out in the third quarter pretty well,
01:06and then that kind of changed the game for us.
01:08Everybody locked in a little bit more and came together for Dre,
01:11and so I think it was needed, and maybe he sensed it, maybe he didn't,
01:15but it helped us.
01:16That's it.
01:16.
