00:01 - I thought, you know, we wanted to win

00:03 and I thought we came out and played really well.

00:04 And you know, we did great things in the second half.

00:06 That's what we got at SSW.

00:07 You know, getting the job done.

00:08 I think that we did a great job today as a team

00:10 and found a way to win.

00:11 Andres and everybody down the line was amazing.

00:13 This is a great team win.

00:14 Feels good to know that we got two under our belt.

00:16 We got another one still, Angola,

00:17 and we gotta keep fighting.

00:18 We gotta keep playing well.

00:19 This tournament is about wins.

00:21 You gotta get 'em all.

00:22 Just stay disciplined.

00:23 We just have to be more disciplined.

00:24 We had to make some shots

00:25 to finally start making 'em in the second half.

00:27 So it's really great, really great win.

00:29 - I thought we played a little harder.

00:31 I thought we played a little harder.

00:32 We stepped up our defense, made 'em miss.

00:34 They were making a lot of shots in the first half.

00:36 So did a great job finding ways to make 'em miss

00:38 and get the job done.

00:39 - I'm gonna keep shooting.

00:40 I'm gonna stay aggressive.

00:41 I'm never gonna stop being aggressive.

00:42 I know what this team needs from me.

00:43 So I'm gonna just keep being aggressive,

00:44 keep doing what I do and shoot or shoot.

00:46 So I'm gonna keep taking them shots

00:47 and I know they'll fall in the second half.

00:49 My team needed me to have a big third quarter.

00:51 Not only put us in the game, but to hopefully win it.

00:53 And I'm glad I was able to do my job.

00:54 I'm just, I'm adjusted to playing basketball.

00:56 So I just like playing basketball.

00:57 So I'm adjusted to whatever the game needs me to do

00:59 and I'm gonna make sure to do whatever I can

01:01 to get my country to win.

01:02 - It was fun.

01:03 It was great to meet a Filipino legend, a boxing legend.

01:05 I've known Manny for a while.

01:07 I was there at his training camp when he was fighting,

01:10 getting ready to fight Errol Spence.

01:11 Then obviously Ugas came in, 'cause Errol dropped out.

01:15 So I've known him for a while.

01:16 I've been able to see him in the ring personally

01:18 and then be with him in the training camp.

01:20 So it was really fun to get to catch up.

01:22 We haven't seen each other in a while.

01:23 - Oh, it definitely was a fight today.

01:25 They definitely put up a great fight, great team.

01:28 Amazing country.

01:29 So, you know, we had to do what we had to do to get a win

01:31 and I'm glad we were able to pull it off.

01:32 My confidence never wavers in our country.

01:34 I know we can do anything.

01:35 We've set our minds to it.

01:37 Just gotta put the work in.

01:38 And tonight I think you saw us put the work in.

01:40 And especially in the first half,

01:41 when things weren't going well for us offensively,

01:44 we found a way in the second half to get a goal.

01:45 Just gotta keep playing hard, keep playing together.

01:47 Just keep doing what we're doing.

01:49 It seems to be working these first two games.

01:50 I don't see any reason that we need to change our mindsets.

01:53 Our mindset's pretty good.

01:54 It's treated us pretty well.

01:55 - Super happy for us, man.

01:56 I can't even speak enough.

01:58 Our country's been yearning for these wins.

02:00 I'm glad that we're able to bring it to them.

02:02 - Just to be best version of ourselves.

02:03 He believes in us.

02:04 All he told us when we went in the back was, "I love you.

02:06 "I know you guys will find a way."

02:07 So we found a way and we found a way to reciprocate his love.

02:10 - Andres was amazing tonight.

02:11 You know, he was making shots.

02:12 He was hot.

02:13 Super hot in the first half.

02:14 You know, he's still hot in the second.

02:15 I think we all did a great job contributing to this win

02:18 and doing amazing.

02:19 - I'm done.

02:20 - He's bottom line.

02:21 [laughing]

02:23 - You made it stop.

02:24 - The Federation, Italy have history, you know?

02:27 Italy is Italy.

02:28 Today, basketball, you know, A-list.

02:30 And we are very happy for our,
