‘BIG TIME’ 🗣️ Ja Morant reacts to NBA Cup win over the Mavericks | NBA on ESPN
We got J Mor down here with us. Uh J, how how much better was the sense of urgency for you guys in getting off to the start that you got off to tonight? Uh it was big time. I feel like it started yesterday in practice. Uh everybody pretty much came in locked in and then you know we came into our draw through scout team uh thing earlier today and we had the same energy, same mentality and you see how it translates. So the the offense was really good especially in the first half. crisp as maybe we’ve seen all season long. What What was going so well offensively for you? Uh I wasn’t turning the ball over and that’s what messed us up in the second half which allowed them to cut the lead. So um I just got to keep being better in that area, taking care of the ball when I do. Normally we get good shots. Uh so you know that’s just the main thing. Guys was able to shoot with confidence. Uh passes was on time on target and you know guys just stepping into it with rhythm. You talked a lot about spacing the other night after the game. Was that much better tonight? And and is it because of knocking down shots? Yeah, for sure. Uh it kind of went away in the second half. We got kind of laxed. It was pretty much just standing and um you know, that caused us some problems. So, uh we just got to be consistent with that. You know, our movements, continue to, you know, do your job and uh just have that trust that your teammates will do the same. What do you want to take from this one Sunday night, the last home game of the stand against Oklahoma City? Uh just try to keep the wins going. uh continue to uh protect home floor. Uh yeah, it’s pretty much it. Congratulations on the win tonight, y’all. Thanks. John Mor for the first time in his career had a double double in the first half and to his point had 10 assists and just two turnovers in the first half. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
