00:14 A couple nights ago you mentioned that you got your confidence back. Was this just an extension of that? Did you feel good from the beginning in this game?
00:40 Jonathan, can you talk about the challenge of playing this many minutes and having this kind of production and getting that rhythm when you haven't been able to establish a rhythm, obviously, being sort of in and out of the rotation?
01:14 You guys are playing a different style of offense out of necessity without Steph. In what ways does that kind of benefit your game?
01:54 And how do you feel like you and Jimmy kind of complemented each other on the court tonight?
03:01 JK, I'm not sure if you remember the moment that I'm talking about, but one of your first shots towards the end of the first quarter was an and-one and you kind of laid on the floor and embraced the crowd as they embraced you back. Did you kind of feel like fuel off of that fire? Did that kind of get you going?
03:40 And then just a career playoff high for you tonight, just given the timing of it, all of the ups and the downs, just how good did it feel to get this tonight?
04:06 How does your ankle feel? You mentioned a little bit earlier it feels good.
04:30 How difficult has it been for you to get back your touch and rhythm and some of the stuff you had in January prior to the injury?
05:02 You talked about a journey. What has this journey been like the last couple months since you hurt your ankle? How have you coped with it? You've talked to Looney or other teammates? How have you sort of — ?
05:31 And Steve mentioned that you've been playing in some of the practice games with the other guys who don't play a lot during the games. What have you learned from that or have you sort of let out some frustration? Have you — how has that helped you prepare for what happened tonight?
06:26 Do you go to practice days or is it after?
06:44 You gonna play tomorrow?
06:53 Hey, Anthony (Edwards) was asked what got him going, was it the Looney slam? But he said it was actually when you slammed on him. I was just wondering your thoughts about that and how you can keep him down and keep up that ferocity.
07:25 Jonathan, you've had big games in the regular season, but what does it mean to you to be able to have this kind of game in the playoffs on this kind of stage?
07:58 Did you also notice the other night when I think you dunked and Lacob got up and was super excited, pumping his fist, and tonight he did it again after one of your plays What does it mean like that the owner's one of your biggest fans?
08:55 How do you look at the way you played defense? It looked like you were very engaged on Edwards and he obviously scored a bunch later in the game, but did you feel like you held your own against him?
09:37 Obviously, there were some concerns about you and Jimmy in the lineup together during the regular season, but Steve said pregame that he thinks it's been working lately, partly because Steph being out. Do you think that's solely what it is or do you think it's something else like comfortability, just getting more reps together?
10:37 You feel okay about this, down 2-1? But this was a game where a lot of guys played pretty well, even though it's a loss. Do you feel like this — do you still have some control of this series or any desperation?
