I thought the first half we really struggled offensively and turned the ball over a lot, but we just managed to hang in defensively and that was critical.

He's great. He made shots. He's phenomenal. We tried to run with him and gave up 71 points.

basketball difficult fun messing player taking tries watch
I don't know if he's ready, but he tries every day. We've been messing around with him there. It's kind of fun to watch him. There's going to be some difficult things for him, but I think it will make him a better basketball player taking on that responsibility.

Sammy goes 1-for-6 but he impacted the whole game. He was phenomenal.
