They were a team that finished 28th in the league in three point attempt, right? Like they aren't a very high variance team. They were fifth in the league in offensive rating, but after January 1st, they were 13th, 14th in points per possession. Like this is, this is a team that is good at what it's good at, but it does not play a high variance form of basketball.

If you're down 20 and you're the Knicks and You are, you are just, you are glowing at the fact that the Celtics are the ones creating the high variance basketball for you. Cause that's the only way you're coming back from down 20 in the second half is to create some sort of element of that.

This is the pregame locker room availability of swim practice. This is what it is. We go in the locker room pregame and we walk around and people think we're just interviewing people, but we're not. We're just walking around.

Yeah, I agree. And he tried to take that over a little bit late in that game. As you mentioned, more pick and rolls, more isolations against Steven Chenzo. And I think he did a pretty good job getting switches onto him too. There's even a play earlier in that game where he's got Jaden McDaniels on him and he runs around a little pin down and ends up getting it at the top of the key.

And then he ends up going at kind of weaker defenders. The thing is with Minnesota is... They just have an insane amount of strength on the perimeter defensively. Nikhil Alexander Walker is as good. I mean, people talk about McDaniels, who's awesome, and Ant, who fights, and DiVincenzo, who's feisty. Nikhil Alexander Walker is... I love the way that he guards screens.
