Wizards 123, Hornets 114
Q. Malcolm was talking about how big some of the shots you made down the stretch were. How were you feeling offensively tonight?
ALEX SARR: Felt pretty good. Obviously knocking down a couple threes helped, but yeah, felt comfortable in general.
Q. We have to ask about the dunk that Bilal had. Seemed like you had a really good view of that and we all saw your reaction. What was that moment like?
ALEX SARR: No, it was pretty crazy. I thought he was going to miss it, like I was getting ready to go get a board. But it was wild. He jumped really high, and it was very spectacular. I want to see more of that.
Q. You had five assists tonight, tied a career high. Can you talk about the assist to Bilal when he had the reverse lay-up?
ALEX SARR: Yeah, that's a play we work on a lot. When I get the ball out of the struggle, I already know that Bilal or someone is going to be cutting, so it's just a great read by him not to stay on the three and to back out to get an easy lay-up. So it was a cool play.
Q. There were a couple impressive finishes you had including that really great dunk. How have you felt about how that part of your game has progressed as the season has gone on?
ALEX SARR: Yeah, I feel like I'm definitely improving on pretty much everything. Definitely finishing. I'm still working on everything. But yeah, definitely felt like I'm getting more and more comfortable the more reps I get.
Q. What are the coaching tips you're getting when it comes to finishing in particular?
ALEX SARR: I would say just establish contact early, like not fade away, try to -- I had a couple bumps, try to go up and get an easy lay-up.
Q. What's been the process for you of actually implementing that in games? What do you do in practice to work on it and try to make it translate?
ALEX SARR: Yeah, I watch film, I do like one versus one against some of the coaches during practice, then I watch film again, and during the game I try to get some reps and take the risk of doing it.
