Games to two and their backs are truly against the wall. And we will see how it plays out with game six tomorrow night. And then hopefully they can force a game seven, excuse me, on Sunday. In the meantime, after the game, we heard from J.B. Bickerstaff. We heard from Danes Jenkins. We heard from Cade Cunningham. So let's get to that now. Starting with the head coach, here is J.B. Bickerstaff after the loss last night. Now here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTKA. J.B., obviously up nine with three minutes left in the fourth quarter. What did you see from there that allowed Cleveland to kind of get back in that one? I mean, I feel like we slowed our tempo down.

I started playing in the half court.

I thought we had success when we got out in transition.

We got stops and were able to get out and run.

And then they started doubling and, you know, getting the ball out of Kate's hands.

So, you know, we'll find ways to fix it.

We'll be better. Hey, coach. Did they give you a reason why there was no foul call on Jared Allen on that trip on the side? He fouled a SAR. It's that, I mean, clear. He trips him when he's going for a loose ball in the game situation. You know, that's tough. J.B. you didn't see Paul Reed there to the fourth quarter, and then he played out the rest of the game. Just what were we seeing from JD and Stu that, you know, laid the decision to putting... Again, I just thought, you know, P. Reed gives us that spark. He's always ready when the moment calls for it. You know, through that point, I thought we had done a pretty good job.

They made their run, and P. Reed is a run stopper for us.

So having him as a weapon is good for this team.

J.B., this feels like one potentially that could leave a mark with a young team battling

and now going to a place where Cleveland's been so dominant.

Just give me a little sense of the mindset and how you pick them back up if they need that.

Yeah, it's, you know, you're going to have to choke the life out of this team, right?

We're not going to go down without a fight, we're not going to go down without kicking,

punching, crabbing, clawing, and that's just who we are.

And we've been in this position before, and we were able to work our way through it.

And I expect our guys to be ready mentally to go out and compete at a high level and bring this thing back here.

When they came back from 9 down a couple of times the last three minutes, do you think that was their defense cranking it up more so? Or you got them taking Kate out of the game, as you mentioned?

I mean, I think that was part of their defensive plan, you know, was to try to get the ball out of his hands.

You know, I think, again, just for us, you know, figuring out, continuing to figure out what's working for us and getting to that.

And, you know, the earlier we play,

the more tempo we play with, typically the more success we have. When they do start doubling K,
