00:00 Give the Celtics credit. They did a great job tonight defending, making it tough on us.
00:05 We had some good looks that didn't go down. We got to move the ball. The ball just stuck too much.
00:11 And we'll be better in game two.
00:13 Just focus on the next game. I think we really got good shots. We just didn't make them.
00:19 But we got to go game by game. Now the game one is over. We got to watch film what we do wrong.
00:26 And focus only on the next one.
00:28 This is the best team in the NBA. They're good for a reason.
00:32 They play their style of basketball at a high rate.
00:36 They generated 27 threes there in the first half.
00:39 And made it, I think, 11 of them.
00:42 And so we have to be better. We can't give them seven made threes in the first quarter.
00:48 That would have outscored us with only scoring 20.
00:52 So we have to be better. Give them credit. They were good tonight.
00:57 I think they're the best three-point shooting team in the NBA.
01:01 So sometimes really hard to take those away.
01:03 Especially when they have five guys out, they can all shoot.
01:06 So obviously we got to make more. We didn't make enough shots today to beat them.
01:11 But we got to be better on both ends.
