Yeah, he, you know,
we benefited from some of the moments when Lowry was sort of at five.
It gave us more of a spread court.
But I think that some of those two-man actions
with the slipouts created some indecision for them.
And Keontae capitalized.
He's a great athlete and does a great job playing in straight lines.
You know, he put a lot of pressure on the rim.
In those moments for us tonight, you know,
Key is somebody that, you know, we believe can score
in a variety of ways. Some nights it's more jump shot heavy,
and I think tonight he made a lot of
good decisions getting to the rim.
Yeah, I thought Lowry, you know, he's digging in.
Amen.
He's digging in.
I think he's playing through a lot of pain right now.
I think he's really
He's really battling for his teammates and for us,
you know, he doesn't play a ton of five.
In general, but, you know,
with some of the injuries and then some foul trouble,
you know, sometimes you have to change things up.
I think he's doing a pretty good job.
You know, I think there's some things
that he can improve like everybody can.
But, you know, these are also defensive
situations he hasn't been in a ton.
Thank you very much.
So, you know, we'll keep looking at it.
I don't know how much Lowry will play five moving forward.
I think there will be some opportunities for it,
and some nights it won't make as much sense.
It'll be a night-to-night thing.
