Steve Clifford T-Wolves Postgame - 1.22

Transcript

00:00 Do you feel like they can suck it in the moment, what was happening with Karen Tilly-Townsend,

00:05 this was your shot?

00:06 Yeah, you know, well, I think the end, the last, I don't know exactly what happened,

00:12 the last minute and a half, maybe in the third quarter, you know, I think we went like maybe

00:17 6-2 to get it to 15, I believe, right?

00:21 And so that's doable versus, you know, if it's 24 or something like that, it's not.

00:26 So I mean, that at least gave us a chance.

00:29 I mean, listen, instantly, 15 points is not a lot, just not where guys score many.

00:35 So you know, but our defense was a lot better in the fourth quarter, we scored a lot.

00:43 Anything else that you all got come back?

00:49 You know, we were better with our coverages, for sure.

00:54 You know, guys were more dialed in.

00:57 We had a bunch of guys with plays in the tournament, two big shots, again, Mello had two big plays.

01:06 Nick Smith had a big three from the corner.

01:10 So I mean, I think a lot of guys contributed, for sure.

01:14 And this is Brandon's third straight 21 game.

01:18 Playing great.

01:19 Yeah, and I mean, tonight he would have had more, but he never got fouls from it, which,

01:25 you know, limited his minutes, frankly, you know, because once he were, you know, within

01:30 five or six in the first half, we didn't get to put him back in.

01:32 But he played great.

01:34 And he also, he made two threes against the zone, when we're kind of teetering, you know,

01:40 14, 15.

01:41 But he makes big shots.

01:42 Good.

01:43 I'm a big fan of Frank's, you know, he's just, you know, his injury was significant.

02:02 He's done a great job with his rehabilitation.

02:04 He's just right now getting back in shape, trying to get his rhythm back in this game.

02:09 I mean, you know, if there's games right now, he needs practice time and game time to get

02:17 really, again, to get in shape, get in rhythm.

02:20 And that's hard to find right now, you know, so hopefully it will happen because I think

02:25 he can help us a lot.
