00:00There's only been eight other players, 24 or younger, in the NBA Finals that have scored 40 points.

00:05I just wanted your reaction to that.

00:08We won the game, so that was cool.

00:10I won't really have much of a reaction until we handle business, but like I said, somewhere down the line,

00:16it'll be you ask me the question again, and I'll have a better answer for you.

00:19Great force. I mean, that's the word, and we've used that word with him in his development,

00:25and when he's at his best, he's playing with that type of force.

00:28And that was an unbelievable performance by him just throughout the whole game.

00:34I mean, he really was on the gas the entire night, applied a ton of pressure,

00:38thought he made a lot of the right plays, and we're going to need a similar type of approach in game six.

00:43He's getting better, and I'm not surprised by his performance tonight.

00:48The kid works super hard. He has the right intentions.

00:53He deserves this moment.

00:56Now, with that being said, we have one more game to win, and I know he's not satisfied by his performance,

01:01but yeah, he works hard, and he played well tonight because of that.

01:05It's no fluke.
