adjustment cherish forever life maine pace people quietness sides slow time traffic
A lot of time to do nothing. Going from the high-speed life of L.A., with the traffic and everything, to the quietness of Maine and the slow pace that they live was just a big adjustment for me. It's something that, I look back now and I cherish because you see just two different sides of how people live and every day lives. It's something that will forever be on my mind.
ball calling came designed felt good hit left quick run shot side
The play was designed that way. If they hit a 3, we just wanted to get the ball out quick and run it down the floor. A.J. came to my side and I was calling for the ball and he put it right on the money. I just shot it. When it left my hand, it felt good but I had no idea it was going in. Luckily, it went in.

The play was designed, if they made a three, to push the ball up the floor. A.J. Abrams came to my side. I called for the ball. It was on the money. I caught it and shot it. It felt good leaving my hand, but I had no idea it was going in.

I was used to the high-speed life of Los Angeles, the traffic and everything. There is this quietness to Maine. It's a lot slower there. It was quite an adjustment.
defense difference game open picked second today transition
I think the difference today was that we picked it up on defense in the second half. We got our transition game going and we got some open looks.
