Austin Krell: Nick Nurse on Kelly Oubre's series:
"Listen, he's had a very, very difficult defensive assignment for lots of minutes every game. I think that's kind of where it starts with me. Like, those two guys are great. And they're big and they're skilled. They're in lots of actions, lots of attempts. He's doing a really good job of just digging in and taking the challenge. Lot of minutes and a lot of reps because they got the ball a lot. So, from that standpoint, he's had a great series. I think everything else he can do. If he has a game where he's hitting a few, obviously that's going to help us. I still like, I think he only had one front-of-the-rimmer last night. Had another one he probably should've made, got there, came up short. But I still think he sprinkles in a couple of those, a couple of threes, and he's gonna have great games. But sometimes, some nights it's your night to do that and some nights it's not. But what we do need from him is what he's giving us, to kind of roll up his sleeves and go to work, be solid, play every possession. Even if those guys are rolling, which they seem to do at some point in the game, you just got to kind of short-memory it and have them get right back to work."
