What can you do on and off the court to get the team ready and change the momentum of the series?
Yeah, I think just as tough as it is, as tonight was, we just got to try to move on.
Prepare, get ready, practice, film and stuff for tomorrow.
And, you know, obviously we're in a tough position.
Gotta have some pride, bounce back, and just be better coming through here.
Jason, it appeared like you guys gave up in the third quarter once they made that big run.
What happened out there emotionally? Are you guys disconnected?
Is there something going on in the locker room or something that you're sensing that's slipping away?
Because it did seem like you guys went going on a run tonight.
Yeah, tonight was tough.
You know, I think from the beginning of the game, we was turning the ball over.
We didn't shoot the ball well.
They shot the ball extremely well.
It just kind of felt like we never recovered, honestly.
And that's on all of us as a unit.
Didn't play well at all.
You know, obviously by the score, it showed.
Jason, you and Jalen combined to shoot 12-35 from the field.
The team shot 40% from the field.
How tough have the Heat and their defensive principal made it on you guys in a game like this with your backs on the wall?
Yeah, I didn't shoot the ball well at all tonight.
But, you know, I think, you know, we got some open looks.
You know, coming off the pick and roll, getting doubled, hitting over the top, playing four on three.
You know, we just didn't shoot the ball well at all.
We couldn't hit anything.
And, I mean, give them credit, they're a really good defensive team.
You know, they play hard.
They communicate.
But, you know, we had a lot of open looks tonight that, you know, we know we make.
