So happy to be joined now by Devin Bell. And Devin, game three was definitely a game of runs. How did you guys put together that final run and play solid defense to get a really important win? Uh just focus on getting stops. Um Mitch was calling some great plays down the stretch. Um but like I said, we just focus on getting stops and when we get stops, we feel like we're pretty much the best team in the world cuz in transition, um we're really hard, really hard to guard. Speaking of really hard, everybody says it's really hard to play here at Madison Square Garden. How did you guys really attack that energy and how did you guys make that work
from the jump? We wanted to come out and just be the aggressors and you know that's kind of what we've done all series but we kind of went to crowd solid in the crowd. Um obviously they want to run in the second quarter and going into halftime. Um but third quarter we just said we want to come out and kind of start how we started the first quarter just be aggressive. Um and if we can silence this crowd a little bit we'll be fine. Mitch Johnson has called you the most consistent player on the Spurs team despite the fact that your role has kind of changed from year to year. for sure.
How important is that consistency to your game and just being a good teammate? Um, I mean, it's huge. Uh, I'm one of the vets on the team, I guess you could say that. You're only 24. You are the vet. Yeah. Right. So, um, one of the vets on the team. So, just to be able to go out there and be reliant and to it doesn't matter if it's 20 points or 10 points. Um, as long as, you know, when my number is called that I'm being consistent. What's it been like to have Greg Papovic around during this run? everything. Honestly, basketball wizard, he knows everything. He's been a part of everything. Um, so for him to be with us and to give us the advice and
whether it's just a text message after the game, whether it's him coming into film sessions, um, just his presence and him just talking to us is almost like a calm and steady voice for all of us. Well, you've got a great example in your game day outfits. The swag is on point. How would you describe how you pick and select and choose your game day outfits? Um, I mean, I feel like they're all statement pieces and as we're been going through the playoff runs, it just I feel like, you know, you're in the finals. Um, so you got to put something on. You got to put something together.
Um, coming into New York, you got to put something together. It's just it's it's a fashion central. So, um, it's it's no direction. It's just, you know, if it's this piece, I like it. Um, but yeah, I just I've been into clothes for a while now, and I feel like that's something I can express myself in with wearing clothes. All right. Hey, thanks for your time. Best of luck indeed. Of course. Thank you.
