Damien Lillard and the team are now looking at the second part of the season after reaching
the halfway point.
I mean, I think you're always aware of it.
I think my entire career, I've always been looking for that game 41, like you know you
at the halfway mark, and you're looking at the schedule to see, you know, what's left,
where the team is, what needs to change, you know, the things we need to be better at,
and you're looking at the standings, all of those things, you know, at that halfway point.
Here's Coach Doc Rivers.
No, we just played him, so that helped us in the back-to-back for preparation sake.
So I thought our guys had an unbelievable focus, you know, tonight, you could fill it before
the game.
That's what I mean, you're going to play well, but they did.
You could just fill it.
