And Fred did a great job with that and I think it paid off tonight because nobody fouled out.” I think it helped taking me away from Giannis and (Khris) Middleton so I’m not really on the ball too much, kind of be that help defender and making reads and stuff. “I just think we try to be as smart as we can without taking away being aggressive, continue to play defence but not take any cheap fouls.
