Guys know what they need to do, but at the same time, I think they're still trying to understand what coach Riley wants them to do.
We got a couple of guys in foul trouble and Coach continued to rest us and let the reserves come in. They played good, but the Bulls really wanted it.
Coach told us to come in and play well on our home floor. Teams that you're supposed to beat, you've got to beat them. That's what we did tonight. At the same time, having a big lead and guys having the opportunity to rest was big also.
Coach did put a challenge out there for me to be more active on defense, to be more aware. I know I'm a good defender. At times, I just take a rest. So he put a challenge on me not to take a rest.
Third preseason game, and coach looked like he coached the end of the season. Guys are putting their heads down already.

It's just a respect factor. It's always going to be Coach Riley because of what he's done as a coach. He's still a coach.
I knew it wasn't my night. Coach told me a halftime to keep going. It was just getting into a rhythm.
I put an OK day in, especially in the second half. That's just coach Riley being the emotional guy that he is.
I didn't have to look for my shot today, so I was able to do some other things. Coach put the ball in my hands tonight to make things happen and see what I could do.
