00:08 >> Trey, I wanted to ask you, what did you think of Jalen's dunts?
00:11 And did you have a favorite?
00:13 And what did you think about him going behind the back for that dunk?
00:16 >> That was clean, that was a clean move.
00:18 When I think about it, I mean, I got my,
00:24 my stinger's high for Jalen, so I mean, the dunk he had a couple of games ago was
00:29 crazy, the night was crazy.
00:31 I thought he was about to have two of them on check, but no,
00:35 I mean, that's just what he does, he's athletic.
00:36 And sometimes I'm scared when he goes up and gets hit and falls like that.
00:40 But that's just what he does, you gotta live with the results,
00:44 cuz sometimes he dunts on people a lot.
00:46 >> Trey, you guys started off 11-0 to this game on the run.
00:50 How much of that start offensively do you think contributed to the way you guys
00:54 finished and held on throughout four quarters?
00:57 >> Yeah, I mean, sometimes it's scary getting those leads,
01:00 to be honest with you, cuz it's a game of runs.
01:03 It's a game of runs, and when you get it on the run,
01:05 sometimes it's just a natural habit to relax.
01:08 And I don't think we relaxed, I think we had a solid lead throughout the whole game.
01:15 Just late again in the game, they played more aggressive, and
01:18 we were playing too much trying not to foul, and giving man ones, and
01:23 things like that, and not as aggressive as we were the first three quarters.
01:26 And maybe it was cuz there wasn't a bonus early in the fourth, and
01:29 didn't wanna give them free throws.
01:31 But we still gotta be more aggressive, and just late in the game,
01:35 and they're trapping me and guys gotta continue to be aggressive.
01:37 And we'll continue to get better at it, and
01:41 like I said, I'm just glad we can learn off a win.
01:45 >> I don't wanna jump the gun, but do you guys think that this creates a different
01:48 narrative for winning at home when it comes to momentum at home?
01:52 >> No, I mean, this was one game.
01:53 This was one game, can't get too high or too low.
01:56 It's not gonna be strong, we got five, ten wins here.
01:58 So we gotta continue to take it one game at a time, and
02:02 I know we got a lot of home games this month.
02:05 So we got a chance to really put a stamp on our home court advantage this month,
02:09 and not just at the one game, we gotta do it consistently.
02:13 >> Trey, earlier this week, you talked about JJ really hitting that ceiling,
02:16 finding that potential career high 28 tonight.
02:19 How did it feel on the court?
02:20 Did it feel like he was inching closer to maybe what you've been talking about?
02:23 >> Yeah, for sure, I mean, he's gonna get career highs every night this year.
02:27 It's not gonna be surprising just cuz, I mean,
02:31 this is really first year we're getting to play a lot.
02:33 And I mean, you can tell from the work he's been putting in,
02:36 what it's translating to.
02:38 And like I said last game, the more reps he plays,
02:41 the more comfortable he's gonna get.
02:42 So let's just continue to get him more reps and
02:45 more shots and more touches in the game.
02:50 And he'll continue to surprise even more people.
02:53 And he's gonna continue to get better, and
02:55 he's gonna have more career high nights like tonight.
02:57 >> Trey, I know you spoke at practice about kinda keeping those turnovers down and
03:03 kinda taking care of the ball more.
03:04 Just when you watch film, can you see or
03:06 pinpoint something that's kinda causing those for you?
03:09 Is it just kinda- >> No, I mean, for
03:12 me as a PG, I don't mind taking risks.
03:17 I think my teammates that I've played with over the years,
03:20 they understand I don't mind taking risks.
03:22 And sometimes that's why we can get out to 12, 15 point leads,
03:26 cuz we're sneaking up at three.
03:28 And I'm throwing it ahead and
03:30 trying to throw a full court to get my team in a quick basket.
03:33 And sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
03:34 So I think tonight I got a turnover trying to throw a lob,
03:39 just trying to get him the ball and get him involved.
03:41 And it was a turnover on me.
03:43 And sometimes I live with things like that.
03:44 I mean, the ones I can't live with is the ones where I'm just throwing it right to
03:49 the defense and they're going out and transitioning.
03:51 So I gotta get better in certain areas for sure when it comes to that.
03:55 But at the same time, I'm gonna have a lot of turnovers because I do take risks and
03:59 I'm trying to get my teammates involved.
04:00 So I gotta live with some, but at the same time,
04:04 I still wanna continue to get better at that too.

04:09 >> You good?
04:10 >> Thanks.
