WATCH: Quin Snyder Discusses Hawks Loss to the Knicks

Transcript

00:00 We played poorly.

00:04 We finished the game the same way.

00:08 It makes it hard. Despite that, when we started,

00:12 we were there late.

00:16 Our defensive glass, we have, I think, 19 second chance points.

00:24 That makes it hard. Even when we had good defensive

00:28 possessions, sometimes they hit a shot and you have to live with that.

00:32 It's contested. We have to do a better job of defensive glass.

00:36 Obviously, this team, that's something they do.

00:40 Our execution to finish possessions is really

00:44 I think told the tale of that.

00:48 You mentioned a few times before, like slow

00:56 starts and not getting off to a slow start. Have you noticed any

01:00 trends, any consistency to why they're maybe starting slow?

01:04 I just think we have to begin the game with a defensive mindset.

01:08 Frankly, there was some possessions that we

01:12 guarded early in the game when we were

01:16 coming into the timeout. A few breakdowns, but that

01:20 can happen. When we did get stops, the offensive

01:24 glass was a thing that hurt. We had a few buckets in transition where

01:28 we ran off some turnovers.

01:32 The glass is just, that's where the game was.

01:36 We need to rebound five guys and just

01:40 make it a fight for the boards.

01:44 What did you feel like they did specifically to slow down DeJounte and Trey?

01:48 We didn't get out of transition as much as we have.

01:52 They blitzed Trey and picked him up. He was able to get off

01:56 the ball. Our offensive, look at our offensive

02:00 ratings, it's a low possession game. We scored.

02:04 To me, those guys, there's going to be games when

02:08 frankly, they got off and let some other

02:12 guys get shots. You saw that with Bogie and Sadiq and Jalen.

02:16 If we defend and get more stops, I didn't think

02:20 we got out of transition as much as we wanted. Again, you look

02:24 at our offense, I think our offensive rating is

02:28 120. That's good enough. It's the

02:32 defense man where we have to keep working and digging in

02:36 and see where we can be better. I think we all know that the glass was a big thing.

02:40 Thanks, Coach.

02:44 Peace.
