WILLIAM LOU: Hey, Coach. I see Takeshi’s not here. So I’ll ask on his behalf. What did you– were you surprised at all by Yuta’s dunk? And what was your reaction to Yuta’s play? And just can you speak to his level of preparation for games?
NICK NURSE: Takeshi, it’s good to see you. I see you over there Takeshi.
WILLIAM LOU: Oh, he is here. I’m sorry, Takeshi. I’m sorry, man.
NICK NURSE: Well, it was good. Yuta made a– made a tough play. You know, he’s never afraid to go in and make a play– consequence play at the rim, both sides, right? And he was on the– he was on the delivering end this time. It was good to see.
WILLIAM LOU: That’s right. All right. Thanks, Coach.
