On the team's performance: "We're still figuring out how to play consistently. Greg Popovich said in an interview.
Both offensively and defensively, we had a lot of ups and downs. ”
We're really not mature enough yet, and we can't understand how hard it is to win in the NBA. ”
It's a 48-minute game and you can't just play 20 minutes of good ball, it's impossible to win. "The Jazz have a good player like Lauri Markkanen, and he's got some 30-year-olds and 31-year-olds around him. The Jazz are a mature and tough team, and with Coach Will Hardy doing a great job coaching, the Jazz have been chasing us for 48 minutes. ”
