Q2 Feeling of the game-winner
What does it feel like to hit that shot?
Man, it feels amazing. I'm super jittery right now. I was early when I was walking. It's my first time hitting this shot, but I prayed for moments like this. I'm glad I finally got a chance to capitalize.
Q5 Walking through the final play
Can you take us through that final play? Elliot Cadeau, you know, not shooting and looking for you.
Excuse me.
Yeah. Um, sorry. Well, well, the play design was for me to get a post-up catch, low post. I didn't do my best stealing, and we had to give the ball to Elliot Cadeau. He had a driving angle, and really props to him for keeping his composure and not forcing a dumb shot. He found an open guy, and it happened to be me, and I delivered.
There you go.
Q16 Grabbing the rebound after the miss
Elliot Cadeau missed the 3, and then was there any question you were going to get that rebound to then kick it back out there?
Yeah, no, as soon as I got it, I knew exactly who to hit.
You know, I have full confidence in him.
He's been our best shooter pretty much all year, so there's no way I'm not giving him that ball again. And I know he wanted that too, so he was ready to hit it. And, you know, we all have trust in each other no matter what's going on. So I definitely had to feed him again on that play.
