Mitch, I know you were motivated to play in this series, just given the fact that you were injured the first time around a couple years ago versus Indiana.

What did it mean to be able to come out here and anchor the defense the way that you were able to do for this group?

It was great. Coming out here, and you know, like you just said, first time in the playoffs, last time I've hurt.

It was great.

Just getting out there and, you know, Derek told me all the time, anchor the defense

before every game.

So, you know, kind of what I needed to do and we got it done.

What can you say about the way that RJ has been able to set the tone in these last couple

of games just with the way that he's been able to attack the tone in these last couple of games just for the

way that he's been able to attack and then again in the third quarter help your crew

really step up without Julius?

RJ just been in a full attack move like you know coming with great energy and stuff like that

boss mom coming with great energy and stuff like that. Boss. Mom.

I stay away from y'all.

But, yeah,

he's just been playing,

you know,

playing amazing.

You know,

he just meaningful attack mode.

Sam Garcia with another one.

Thank you,
