00:00 >> Either driving and tailing to the hoop or backing him in.
00:03 Is there a certain thing you're looking for before you go to the turnaround?
00:05 And had you thought about that before actually doing it in the final possession
00:08 there on the shot?
00:09 >> Yeah, for sure.
00:10 I have been setting him up all night with the back down to the drop step,
00:16 to the baseline.
00:16 So I figured he would sit on it, thinking that I would try it again.
00:21 So just going, went to my back down and gave a little dream shake to the baseline.
00:26 Was able to open up middle and get my fade away.
00:31 >> Tatum had clearly been giving you guys problems as a team.
00:33 What were you able to do down the stretch there to cause a couple turnovers and
00:37 change it up?
00:37 >> Just trying to make it tough on him.
00:38 Kid is special.
00:39 Obviously that's the reason he's a first time all star.
00:41 He's been special all year.
00:43 So down the stretch we put KC on him as a designated defender, but
00:47 he had eight eyes behind him.
00:49 Four guys had eight eyes on him just trying to help him talk, communicate.
00:53 Just trying to make it tough on the kid.
00:54 But he was special all night.
00:56 >> What were you feeling when you went to the floor there in the second half?
01:01 >> I didn't have much breath left.
01:02 Got the wind knocked out of me.
01:05 It's been a while since that happened.
01:07 >> Bart, to get this win on this stage against that team,
01:10 from a kind of mental, emotional standpoint, how does that pick you guys up?
01:14 Or can it pick you up?
01:15 >> No, every game is its own challenge.
01:18 And we knew there was gonna be a playoff type of atmosphere today.
01:22 One, because of the rivalry.
01:26 Two, because of how well they played against us in Boston.
01:29 They beat the hell out of us there.
01:31 And then three, just on a simple fact,
01:33 just two teams that has aspirations of holding that trophy up at the end of
01:35 the season.
01:36 So we knew what we were getting ourselves into.
01:39 They knew what they were getting themselves into.
01:40 And it was a great game for both teams.
