After the Cleveland Cavaliers’ exciting 105-100 comeback win against the Brooklyn Nets, head coach Kenny Atkinson talked about the team’s performance. Despite achieving a record-breaking winning streak, he acknowledged that the team struggled throughout the majority of the game. However, he also praised the players for their strong effort in pulling off the win.
In the press conference, he said, “Heck of a comeback. We weren’t great, but it’s a sign of a really good team that they can pull something like that out when you’re not playing your best.”
He continued, “Normally you know after 11 games, you’re not thinking about a streak. But tonight you’re thinking ‘I don’t want it to end this way. When you’re out there it’s in the back of your mind, and you’re thinking ‘we got to keep this thing going.”
