Philadelphia 76ers Postgame Media Availability ๐๏ธ | Quentin Grimes | 11.11.25
talk about you guys. I mean, it’s been happening a lot this season, but the ability that you guys have to keep coming back and and particularly this one and come back and get this victory. Yeah, it’s a good good habit to have knowing how resilient you are as a team, but we know we don’t want to be in too many of those games. come in that third quarter, the team makes a run and then we got to fight and claw and scrap to to get that lead back. But, you know, I mean, it’s a testament to how hard we’ve been working as a team. Um, how collective we are as a group in that locker room. So, it kind of shows on the court with those scrappy like late late fourth quarter wins and overtime wins, but we don’t want to be playing like that for for the rest of the season for sure. So, what goes into I’m sorry, but what goes into the third quarter then? I mean because it just seems like is it I mean in the locker room we don’t we don’t have the same intensity when we start or I mean what why is that keep you know reoccurring? Yeah, I mean you see we have the fight in the fourth quarter. We just got to come out with that mentality um in the third and we’re capable of that. We know you know we just got to come out with a different mindset mentality. Everybody got to flip that switch on and just get right to it and not kind of ease. I think we’re kind of easing into the third knowing we kind of have a little bit of a lead and then we get comfortable. The other team comes out right away coming out the gate. So, we just got to come out how we play in the first half at the start of the third and we’ll be all right. That shot at the end of the half very clean. You just what was your thought as soon as it left your fingers? Yeah. No, I knew I mean they not tracking him anymore anyway to He So, it’s like you got to get them up. So, you know, nobody’s worried about that field goal percentage anymore. So, you get them up and then like you said, you make probably one in every five. So, it’s a good thing to see to see those shots going for sure with some momentum going into that fourth quarter. I was just going to say, did you feel that when you got back to the bench that maybe, you know, it was a tough third quarter, but that maybe gave you guys a little bit of a spark heading into the fourth? Yeah, those kind of shots get gets the team involved, gets the crowd going. Um, we kind of need needed a little bit of a spark going into that fourth and we kind of had that and then we carried it on through the fourth to the rest of the game for sure. you have a a teammate like Justin who’s in and out of the rotation and then comes in and has a performance like that tonight. How much of a lift does that give you guys emotionally, spiritually into like, “All right, we got to go get this one.” Oh, definitely. I mean, it’s great, not only for the team, but for him and his confidence. Um, just being able to stay ready, stay resilient, not knowing when your number may be called, but coming out what he missed one shot tonight or something like that. So, just a hat off to him. He played played amazing just coming in every day. um staying after practice, getting extra shots up, um getting extra run in with a stay ready group and stuff like that. So, he he proved why he he was ready tonight for sure. Quinton, the turnovers were much lower tonight. Yeah. Uh why or what led to that consciously or not? Um I think I mean Boston’s a great team, physical. We know they come out with a play playing the way Missoui get some guys ready to play. We know we had got to hold on to the ball a little bit longer. Uh, a miss shot is better than turnover any day of the week. So, we had to go out there, put on a run. We got guys like Drum, Bona, um, Kelly who can go get it if we miss it and get extra possessions for us. So, just, you know what I mean, just coming in detail. That was kind of one of the main keys going into this game, holding on to the ball. So, I feel like that was just everybody was locked in for sure for this game. Thank you. No.
