LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS MEDIA CONFERENCE


June 18, 2021


Nicolas Batum


Los Angeles, California, USA

Postgame Press Conference


Los Angeles Clippers 131, Utah Jazz 119

Q. Can you just encapsulate the crowd tonight and just everybody's reaction throughout the second half as you guys made the comeback?

NICOLAS BATUM: That's what it's all about. That's basketball, right now, right here. That's basketball. You know, being at home, great game, two great teams. That was amazing. I miss that. We all missed it. It's so cool to have those guys in the stands and to play. That's basketball. I mean, that's why we play this game. It's very, very cool.

Q. How has Ty managed the group this season? How much of a role has he played in the success you guys have had?

NICOLAS BATUM: He always find a way to talk to us so we don't panic. We stay calm. We stay cool. We were down 22 and we played very, very bad in the first half, especially the last five minutes in the second quarter. He always find a way to keep us focused and to stay in the game and make us believe that we've still got a chance to win the game.

A couple times, we were down 2-0, twice, and we're down big-time like in Dallas Game 3, we're down, I mean, big time tonight, and we lose that game and we go back to that crazy place in Utah, and he find a way, get good guys, get a good shot and get a system. We won this game. I love that coach. You have to give him credit. T-Lue is an amazing coach and he showed it again tonight.
