Obviously, having a big game, how big was it for you to have that big game knowing that you had a few struggling, early on? 00:20 BRANDIN PODZIEMSKI, POSTGAME G4-HOU-GSW: I think it was big just 'cause we won the game. I seen some stat on ESPN today of the leading scorer in the series with Steph and then a bunch of Rockets and then Jimmy, who's only played one game and so, just tried to do my best to help him out and ended up getting the win and that's all we really wanted tonight. 00:41 Given everything that they threw at you tonight and in the series, how important was it to stay composed as a team throughout the game? 00:48 I think it was very important. As the series has gone on, they've tried a bunch of different things with their defense and so I think having high-IQ players on our side, being able to recognize that kind of thing and make adjustments throughout the game, within the game, it's been huge. I think our coaching staff's done a good job in-game, adjustment-wise. Obviously, the starting lineup with Buddy kind of put Sengun on me, which is fine with me and so they made an adjustment by playing Adams and going zone most of the night and that's how you saw me and Buddy get a lot of our threes. 01:20 Brandin, Draymond just said that Jimmy basically couldn't move for three quarters and then in the fourth he found a way to move. What kind of effort did you see, the gutsy nature and the lift he gave you guys tonight? 01:32 That's what he's been doing for a long time, here in Miami, wherever he is been. Just Playoff Jimmy, just to see him do everything in his power the last couple days to get back to this point. And just trying to be out there for Game 4, even though we won Game 3 without him. Just to see his perseverance and do all the things he was required to do to get back, you can see that he wants to win. He's a winner. 01:59 You guys started the third quarter on an 18-1 run. What was the key to that? 02:04 Same as the start of the game. When we started on that run, forcing them to kind of play through Sengun and letting Draymond play one-on-one defense with him and keep everybody else out the game and run in transition, so they couldn't get their defense set. And I think the start of the first and start of third were big for us. 02:22 And speaking of Draymond on Sengun, what were you thinking when they tried to post up Sengun, let him iso on that last possession? 02:28 Why him? I don't know why you'd go after the Defensive Player of the Year. 02:34 Brandin, over here. Draymond noted your skill in all the work you do, but he also, in explaining sort of why you thrive in this setting, said you have irrational confidence. Where does that come from? Where does your self-belief sort of trace to, to be on this stage. This — 02:54 Well, first you gotta tell yourself you belong in the moment. I think good and great players want the moment and thrive in the moment and don't back down from it, but I think it's just from building evidence, all the, all the things you put into the game that collects over time. And from that collection you just, it's like, I've done this so many times now, just 'cause it's a different moment, it's still the same thing. And so there's no pressure and everything I do out there, I'm never gonna have a regretful decision and I'm just gonna go out there and… [entire Transcript in Comments 👉] COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER: We do not own any of these videos or clips, but we are still a news reporting agency.
