Ja Morant & Jaren Jackson Jr. talk BIG WIN vs Lakers, Postgame Interview 🎤

AND THEY GET THE VICTORY. >> AND THE DEFENSE IS THE STORY TOO. LIKE THEY REALLY LOCKED IN IN THE SECOND HALF. THEY BECAME THAT OLD MEMPHIS DEFENSIVE TEAM THAT WE’VE ALL TALKED ABOUT. >> SO SMART WITH EIGHT THREE POINTERS 29 POINTS. AND LET’S GO TO GEORGE. >> THANK YOU MIKE I’VE GOT JOHN MORAN AND JAREN JACKSON JR HERE JOK CLEANING UP THE TABLE AS IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GUYS WERE ABLE TO CLEAN IT UP IN THE FOURTH QUARTER. HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO GET THIS VICTORY. UH JUST YOU KNOW, STAYING TOGETHER. >> UM OBVIOUSLY WE

KNOW WE HAD A COUPLE GAMES WHERE WE DIDN’T PLAY OUR BEST. WE DIDN’T COME OUT WITH ENOUGH ENERGY. SO TONIGHT WE MADE SURE WE BROUGHT IT ON BOTH ENDS OF THE FLOOR. WE WAS ABLE TO GET STOPS LATE AND DESMOND BANE, YOU KNOW, SHOOT PROBABLY THE PARKING LOT, UH, YOU KNOW, KNOCKED DOWN SOME BIG TRADES FOR US LATE. >> SPEAKING OF BIG TRADES, YOU WERE LIKE STEPH CURRY OUT THERE TODAY. JAREN WHAT DID IT FEEL LIKE WHEN YOU WERE OUT THERE HITTING THOSE SHOTS? HOW BIG DID THE HOOP LOOK? >> UH, THAT’S WHAT I WORK

ON EVERY DAY. SO THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS. PEOPLE GET WHEN PEOPLE SPACE THE FLOOR. WELL WHEN WE MOVE THE BALL, WELL, YOU’RE GOING TO GET

OPEN. >> HE’S A PROBLEM. >> THERE’S NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT. NOW THIS GAME BETWEEN THESE TWO TEAMS ALWAYS GETS VERY PHYSICAL. THAT WAS THE CASE. YOU AND LEBRON WERE ON THE FLOOR, BUT YOUR COACH WAS OUT THERE TAKING UP FOR YOU GUYS. WHAT IS IT LIKE TO HAVE YOUR COACH OUT THERE JUST KIND OF TAKING UP FOR YOU IN THAT SITUATION? >> THAT’S MY DOG. HE’S BEEN HE’S BEEN GREAT ALL SEASON.

HE’S BEEN GREAT EVER SINCE HE’S BEEN HERE. UM, HE’S HELD IT DOWN THE WHOLE TIME. AND THAT’S JUST WHAT HE DOES. HE’S ONE OF US. HE’S A PLAYER COACH. HE’S WITH US IN THE DEN. HE’S WITH US WHEN IT GETS HARD. SO I MEAN, I EXPECT NOTHING LESS. AND I ALREADY KNEW WHAT HE WAS ON. I COULD HEAR HIM WHEN I WAS ON THE GROUND. SO AT ALL TIMES I KNOW HE’S GOT MY BACK NOW. >> LAST ONE FOR YOU GUYS AND YOU BOTH CAN ANSWER HERE. YOU GOT A HILL TO CLIMB HERE. CERTAINLY TO

TRY TO GET BACK IN THIS RACE IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE. WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR YOU GUYS TO DO THAT? >> UH, COMING TO PLAY LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW, EVERY NIGHT, PLAYING A FULL 48 MINUTES OF, YOU KNOW, OUR BASKETBALL, UH, ESPECIALLY ON THE DEFENSIVE END. WE KNOW WHAT THAT DO FOR US OFFENSIVELY. UM, AND JUST CONTINUE TO JUST MOVE THE BALL AND PLAY WITH MORE VARIETY ON THE OFFENSIVE END AND MAKE SURE EVERYBODY STAY IN RHYTHM AS YOU CAN SEE, WE DID IT TONIGHT. AND WE HAD MULTIPLE GUYS WITH 20 PLUS POINTS. ZEKE CAME

IN AND PLAYED BIG TIME FOR US. IT’S JUST YOU KNOW EVERYBODY COME IN CONFIDENT PLAYING WITH A RHYTHM. AND THAT’S WHEN YOU KNOW WE GET DANGEROUS. WE KNOCK DOWN THE SHOTS THAT WE’VE BEEN MISSING. AND YOU KNOW IT’S BEEN HURTING US. SO THAT WAS GREAT WHAT HE SAID YEAH FOR SURE. >> ALL RIGHT GREAT. >> WELL YOU GUYS CONGRATULATIONS . AND THANK YOU FOR THE TIME AS ALWAYS. YES, SIR. THANK YOU.
