Jordan Ott Postgame Media Availability | Phoenix Suns | 10-27-25

do you like just from the the collective team effort out there and just the overall effort in general to get back into this one? Yeah, exactly. We just talked about it. Just our competitive fight um down to the full 48, you know, and then into overtime, but um yeah, group’s resilient, competitive, high character, um tough, that’s who we are. Scrappy um yeah, again showed it again. 51 points from the bench. just how much of a lift were they able to provide? Yeah, I mean times, you know, um you know, we had multiple of those guys in there at the same time. You know, even Isaiah, you know, the long road back for Isaiah again, he came out and spills it. Um 21 minutes for him. Collins gasping, you know, we’re trying to give him just a spot there in the fourth in and out. Um made big shots in that stretch down the fourth. Um, and then I thought Nick’s minutes, especially in that first half, um, were awesome. And again, you know, our center depth, we’re going to have to continue to figure it out, but we have depth. Um, and Nick Nick was great, especially in that first. Coach, to challenge that call at the end, what did you see or what were the relay you got that made you go, “Okay, we need to challenge this.” Yeah, the process, you know, having a process set up. Um, trusting what those guys see on video. Um, obviously communicating with our guys on the floor, Roy. Um, yeah, I think I think that’s that’s what it’s set up to do. You have a process, you set it up, you trust the guys, what they’re seeing, what you’re hearing, and then you do it. Um, I thought both both challenges were big tonight. when you look at obviously the end of regulation and that much splitting the free throws and then and then Royce getting the rebound and then Mark following that uh just maybe speak to what Mark did tonight um had more minutes obviously but the way he played particularly down the stretch in that yeah um yeah Mark was unreal I think uh every second he was on the floor he impacted the game both sides and um again it’s great to see his fight his his uh work pays off and can’t tell you how many days he was in there in this summer um without, you know, even doing the court stuff. So, we just we’re going to continue to need it. You know, he set the standard. So, now we got to hold him to that standard to continue to play this at this level. No possessions off, no nights off. Um he was fantastic. So I know you know Li’s a handful and obviously the career high the size that they have how much do you feel like even though you have center depth they have size in multiple positions how much do you feel like that impacted I think that’s a little unique you know I know some some teams are now are moving that direction but this is a little unique um with marketing and flip like those those guys are three to four but can still stretch the floor that’s that that’s um unique um yeah I mean Markin is a great player Uh it’s just the 17 free throws. I got to somehow figure out the free throw stuff. Um just too many easy ones. He happens to make every single one of them. So um yeah, I think they’re a big team. That’s that’s some of what they do. They’re a really good offensive rebounding team. They were last year top 10. This year top five. Um that’s what they do. That’s one of their strengths. I think I had coach you talked before about getting off to a good start and then I’m sure you looked at the board like okay we’re down 192. What what’s what’s going through the mind when you’re seeing shots not being made and then then we going on a run and it hit like five six threes there. Yeah, we got we got to figure that part out. That was part of the the talk there in the in the locker room. Um can’t put put us in a hole like that. This is the NBA and I know teams go on runs, but that is a big hole to overcome, especially right off the the bat. Again, we’ll stick to a process like how good were our shots, how good were theirs, um did we have enough possessions in those early early minutes? Um but yeah, that we we got to be better there. All right, y’all.
