00:00 I've got to come out ready to play.
00:01 In the previous two games, you guys have had late game success against the Pelicans.
00:07 Why do you think that is?
00:08 We had some really good performances from guys.
00:11 I think Alperin had a dominant game in New Orleans.
00:15 We ratcheted up the defense a little bit, got more aggressive and caused quite a few
00:19 turnovers late against them.
00:22 To some extent, we felt like he wore down Williamson a little bit there, putting him
00:26 in actions, making work on both sides of the ball and kind of corralled him as the game
00:30 went on.
00:31 He had to get 18 in the first half and end up with 28 and only two in the fourth quarter.
00:35 So we kind of got control of him.
00:37 So throwing a bunch of bodies at him.
00:39 Jeff Green's done a great job finishing games.
00:41 Jabari Dillon.
00:42 So just throwing multiple bodies and kind of got him under control.
00:44 I think that was a key to our success in winning those two games.
