Q1 Defensive consistency and late lulls

Just 44 minutes, like not that many lulls on both sides of the ball, felt like crisper than some of the games I've done lately.

Yeah, definitely. It just started on defense. That's what we was focused on, just playing defense for the full 40 minutes. We still felt like we didn't do that for the full 40 minutes. We kind of relaxed at the end, but something we need to fix. Did Dusty get at you about the last 8 minutes? Yeah, definitely. He just says it's like maturity on our part. Just being mature enough to be up 25 and still go as hard as you can.

Q2 Learning to avoid late letdowns

Is that something you got to learn, you feel like?

Yeah, that's definitely something that we need to work on. I felt like we've done that a couple games. Like, we're up 10, 15, and we kind of just relax. And, you know, that's a recipe for disaster. That's not good. So we need to definitely work on that.

Q8 Improving perimeter shooting

Appreciate you. Good to see you. Another game where you knocked down multiple threes. What's going into your improvement from the perimeter?

Just like confidence, like the coaches having confidence in me. Every time I look at the rim, they tell me to shoot it whenever I'm open. So just them having confidence in me is the main part. I felt like I was a 40% shooter my whole career. And it was just like whether me being allowed to be that was the thing for me.
