00:00Overall, were you satisfied with the offensive process due to the fourth in overtime?

00:05Well, first of all, on a night where we didn't shoot the ball great,

00:09I thought we manufactured really well.

00:11You know, like we got offensive rebounds, we got stuff in transition,

00:15we were able to attack the paint, attack the rim.

00:19So that's what you have to do when you're not making a ton of jump shots,

00:23and we did that for much of the game.

00:25In terms of down the stretch in overtime, we'll take a look at it,

00:28but it becomes an execution game at that point, trying to generate the best shots you can.

00:32It's hard for both teams, obviously, in that situation, and credit Denver.

00:36They made a couple more plays.

00:37We have to embrace what this is.

00:39It's the playoffs.

00:39It's the highest level of basketball.

00:41It's incredibly challenging, and this is how you become stronger as a team,

00:45is you learn from these experiences, you stand up to them, and you improve.

00:49You know, we've got to rise to the challenge of it.

00:51They're a really good team.

00:52They're obviously up 2-1 in the series,

00:54and our challenge is to be a better team on Sunday.
