  Speaker 1: The immediate reaction, that devastation.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: It's a how way to lose a basketball game.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Breaking it down a little further. So up five with
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: about twelve left and they get the quick three. I
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: think you did have the time out, would you would
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: you wanted to take time out to.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Advance the ball? There?
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: No, not necessarily. I don't want to put yourself in that.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, if I had too, I would have taken
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: it automatically. Felt, you know, super comfortable with the lineup
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: we had out there to get the ball in, and
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: you know, we just we just discute it still had
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I think time to call the time out, but you know,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I think in that situation, the thought process was, you know,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: get it in if we can, if not call the
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: time out.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Two straight nights that were kind of similar games in
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: some ways where you have control and there are these
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: big runs in short amounts of times. Where did you
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: see any through line defensively about kind of not being
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: able to get stops at certain moments.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Or man, they shot eleven and fourteen from three. I
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: mean that's eleven and fourteen and an empty gym is
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: really good, So that that's unreal shooting for hours, you guys.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Obviously get the game winning from Lebron in indyed opposite
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: of it, just emotionally, what's that like and host the
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: locker room like a post game.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: I mean it's hard lose like that. No, we have
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: basically basically had the game in hand, and when you
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: lose like this, it's hard, especially on back to back
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: when I think we fall hard, it's hard to lose
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: late that.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Speaking with j J, if you guys have another game
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: in two days, she said, you guys can't.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: You guys aren't in positions.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: To feel sorry for yourselves. What's the key to make
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: sure making sure that the emotions of the past twenty
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: four hours, the laydown, doesn't lead over into Saturday's game
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: against Memphis to close off the road trip.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: No, I don't think it's about feeling sorry for ourselfs
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: just the way we lost. Like I said, we basically
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: had the ball, I mean, the game in hand. So
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: it's just the way we lost. But that's sometimes good thing,
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: sometimes bad thing in the NBA that one or two
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: days you have the next game.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Luca, you're obviously a fierce competitor. Do you how do
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you how do you process the highs and the lows
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: like is it when you get back to the hotel?
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Are you able to erase it the next day? Does
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: it stick with you to the next game.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: I don't know. It depends in the game.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Like this where it seems like you got it and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: then they hit a buzzer beating.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: It's like the one I had in Cleveland last year,
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: which was even the craziest shot. It was three quarters.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: So you know, uh, just kind of process it. I mean,
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: it's tough way to lose, but that is what it is.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Kind of the direct opposite feeling of last night. What's uh,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: how do you process those last couple of seconds?
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, we put ourself in position to win, gave
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: up a lot of threes in the fourth quarter. I'll
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: put our seven position to win. Horrible turnover by myself,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: bad miss miscommunication played before that, and I mean ar
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: still had a big bucket, try to save us. And
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: then uh, tippy hatters, someone makes a game win from
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: a half court.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: What's the kind of the proper way to and then
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you just contextualize this game specifically, but what's the proper
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: way to deal with the emotion on this side? You know,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: relative till last night.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: There's another game in two days, less than two days.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: You know, That's that's how you do it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: There these last I guess both fourth quarters there have
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: just been these kind of wild swings where you go
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: going a big run, Pacers returning by the same thing
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: tonight with Chicago. What what have you thought of that?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And kind of how that's happening.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: We can't give up forty plus, you know, then we
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: give up thirty two in the first quarter, and then
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: we played a great ball from there on twenty six
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: and the second seventeen and a third we give a
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: forty four. You're not gonna no matter what how many
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: points you have, it's gonna be Whi's not good ingredients
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: for success.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: How much of the fourth quarter do you think was
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: just like unreal hot shooting from them?
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: And how much of it was defensive sort of maybe intensively.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: National Listens had nineteen threes. Once again, they've been shooting
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: to piss out the balls of late. You know, statistics
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: doesn't show up for the season, but they they've been cashing.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I thought, you know, we put ourselves in position to win.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: We just didn't REDI didn't win
