There was the offensive change with Carl Towns.

I think part of it, though, was a mentality shift, and Towns maybe was getting at that a little bit.

I think I talked to Miles McBride in Philadelphia after they swept, and he said,

Yes, yes.

And so he said that, you know, we knew we were a good team, but we were kind of waiting for the opponent to give us the game.

And that was the issue.

And after that game three, they talked and it switched from that to we know we're a good team.

We have to go out and take the game.

We can't just wait for somebody to make mistakes.

I think that's maybe it sounds like a cliche, but it is kind of what you've seen from them during this winning streak.

I haven't been in there when someone has been asked that question or answered it.

But I think that regardless of whatever the label is, it starts with Jalen Brunson.

He's not going to concern himself with...

what I think, what you think, what Vegas thinks.

These guys are locked in at such a high level on the daily details of what they need to do on the floor.

Even during these breaks, it just seems like the outside noise, it's all around them, but they're not hearing it, and that starts with Brunson.

Sure.

So, I mean, I would go Derek Fisher, the fist fight with Matt Barnes.

It's a good one.

Him missing a practice all the way across the country.
