Who can take the shot?

And so that's where the defense, I thought, was really stellar and just saying, if none of y'all are going to be the heroes today, that's great.

We're just going to strangle all of you on defense and make sure that none of you can take a shot.

And I thought that was why our momentum was so great in the second half, because when they were trying to figure out a way to claw back into this game, they just couldn't.

because we had all their angles covered.

And on the other side, we were able to take that and turn it to a point to the other end and just kind of slowly but surely stretch that lead out until it was insurmountable.

It's probably the same play.

We'll talk about it after the break.

Jason, you mentioned Pat Gong, but I think we have to talk about the fact that he returned to the lineup after missing the game earlier this week with the wrist injury.

The fact that he was back in the lineup, he started, and look, he didn't look 100%, but he still had 6.6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and a block.

And the block was a demonstrative one.

It was one that kind of told me, hey, my hand's okay.

Don't worry about me.

I'll be fine.

Yeah, and I mean, he did it without, for the most part, without fouling.

He only had three fouls, but like he felt much better.

And I think, again, in the scheme of protecting his hand, right?

Like you have, there's times where he tried to kind of come down and do the like swipe through with the other hand.

And I think immediately they're like, look,

you're 6'11".
