00:00Is there some voodoo going on at the free throw line tonight or what?
00:05We just got to work on our free throws.
00:07We shot 52%.
00:08That's unacceptable.
00:11I spent a lot of energy on defensive end.
00:13Just do you attribute some of that to fatigue?
00:16No, no.
00:17I think we played great defense, but, you know, just a lot of details.
00:21Missing free throws, offensive rebounds, you know, work hard for 24 seconds
00:26and then you give up.
00:27It's kind of tough.
00:29But overall, I think we played great defense.
00:31It just wasn't enough.
00:39Luke, obviously, you know, we're used to seeing you and Kyrie combined
00:42for close to 60 a game.
00:45What's been so difficult for you guys to get in the groove, you know,
00:48specifically tonight, but really all series long?
00:52I think they're so focused on us.
00:56They could collapse the pain very well.
00:59You know, when we both drive it, they collapse the pain,
01:03or almost five guys.
01:06So I think that's been difficult for us.
01:09We just got to find open teammates.
01:13Luke, as you guys came off the floor, there was a lot of frustration,
01:16understandably.
01:17So what is the – where are you guys right now mentally?
01:21How do you bounce back from, it seems anyway, giving one away here?
01:26Just go next game.
01:27It's first to four.
01:29Stay humble, you know, stay ready.
01:32And it's the same as after game one.
01:34You know, you get ready, see mistakes you make, and go on.
01:40Luke, you played really hard on the defensive end today – or tonight.
01:44How are you feeling just physically right now?
01:48Great.
01:54Do you have any concern level about just the way this loss went
01:58and the ability to bounce back just from the way it lost,
02:02the fact that you guys missed those free throws?
02:04No, no.
02:05I mean, no concern.
02:07We just got to be ready.
02:08You know, we got to play hard like we did tonight.
02:11I think we played really hard.
02:12Big energy today.
02:15But like I said, some details, you know, cost us the game.
02:19And we just got to be ready again.
02:23Obviously, it's going to be hard on the road.
02:25But we've done it before.
02:27We can do it again.
02:29Pretty dominant defensive performance by you guys through three quarters,
02:33and they scored 35 in the fourth.
02:35What changed in the fourth, other than obviously Shea making shots?
02:39Yeah, I mean, he was unbelievable.
02:41He kept making shots.
02:44And maybe at some point we got to send double team, you know, too.
02:48He's just too good, very good.
02:51Every shot he took, you know, he was contested by P.J. and D.J.
02:57But just, you know, he's very good in that.
03:00He works on that a lot.
03:01So he gets to his spot and then knock it in.
03:07Is that the little 15, 16, 14-footer there that he makes a lot,
03:12is that one of those shots that you guys kind of decided you'll live with
03:16rather than at the rim or at the line?
03:20I don't know.
03:22I mean, that's his shot.
03:23I don't know how he's going to live with that.
03:26But like I said, you know, he gets to his spot, and it's just hard to stop him.
03:31What was Jason's message to you guys in the locker room afterward,
03:34just after it lost like that?
03:36That stays in the locker room, man.
