on villy packing that paint weakside:

"they are a very aggressive team. They are another team that plays the ball side really hard, really pressures you. And there's no holes in the paint. And they do a good job of closing out, meaning ok, I have to throw a skip pass over there...and then all of the sudden boom it looks the same.

"I just think we need movement. They're very effective when you are stagnant on offense. I told the guys 'Look, we can't catch it, hold it, look, look for two seconds, throw it to the next guy. He looks...the ball just has to move.

"We have to get them chasing us, which they're good at. But when you're stagnant, they're defense is elite".

hayes

his role when paint is packed weakside?

"i'm not a person who relies for points for my game to be good. I know I have a lot of great shooters on the perimeter, so if they pack the lane, double me in the post, I know I can kick it out..."

goal still get ball in paint despite packing?

"Definitely, that's always our goal; try to get our bigs in the game early and see if we can take advantage of the game down low. And if not, let our guards go to work"
