Reporter: Hey, OG.
Congrats on the shot.
Have you ever hit a
buzzer-beater before,
and when you released it,
did you know it was good?
Yeah, I've made
some in high school
and that I knew I was
in when I released it.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
Reporter: Did it
feel good when you--
It felt good.
Reporter: What were you thinking
when-- when you
saw it go through?
And also, what do you
think of the pass Kyle made?
Yeah, Kyle made a great pass.
It was-- He waited
[inaudible], threw in the air,
quick enough for me to get
it off before they got to me.
So, it was a great
pass from Kyle.
Reporter: Just what
was the feeling when--
when you saw it go through?
Obviously we talked,
a few days ago,
you talked about
obviously missing last year
and how tough that was
[inaudible] in a
moment like this.
What was that like?
[inaudible]
Announcer: Sorry, we
lost you there for a second,
can you just repeat that?
Like, it was cool
and just get ready
for game four now.
Reporter: All right, thanks.
Announcer: Next, we'll
go to Blake Murphy.
Go ahead, Blake.
Blake: Congrats on that, man.
I guess, so, you,
right after you hit it,
you kind of stayed still.
You didn't really react.
But then Fred came
and kind of gave
you this running hug
and the rest of
the guys ran over.
Did you kind of feel that
point where you broke
and allowed yourself to, like,
enjoy it and smile a little bit?
Like, could you tell
that was happening?
Yeah.
We were like,
yeah, I was excited.
Everyone was excited for me.
So, it was cool.
Someone hit me in the nose.
I'm not mad about
that, but it's cool.
Blake: I know this is maybe
a bit of a random example,
but I remember back to
that your first playoff run
against Cleveland, you
kind of hit a big clutch three
in transition as well
and you guys did end up
winning that game, but
it was the same kind of,
you know, a little unexpected,
a huge, huge moment.
Do you-- do you feel
any connection to that one
or do you think
that says anything
about your
confidence level at all?
I mean, you know,
it's kind of similar,
but we won this one,
so it's much better.
Blake: What does
it say to you that,
you know, your teammates
trust you enough to put the ball
in your hands in that situation.
Oh, it just makes me feel
good knowing my teammate's
confidence in me,
always want me to shoot
the ball, coaches want
me to shoot the ball
all the time whenever I get it.
So it makes me feel good.
Just makes me want
to stay ready to shoot.
Blake: Do you demand
a few more now?
Yeah. Always.
Blake: Thank, OG.
Thank you.
Announcer: Thanks, Blake.
Next, we'll go to Jeff
Zillgitt from USA Today.
Jeff: Hey, OG.
Thanks for a few minutes.
I wanted to hear
what was, you know,
how you saw the play
[inaudible] back in the huddle.
You know, were you the
main option on the play?
And you know, just what were
your thoughts leaving the huddle
and watching Boston's defense?
The play was for
Pascal to get a shot
and they switched it up
top and then Marc flashes
and I think Jaylen went
to him before the flash
and they left me open.
Yeah, so it was all those
actions that took place
and left me open.
So...
Announcer: [inaudible]
Reporter: No. Thank you.
Announcer: Next, we'll go
to Steven from SportsNet.
Steven: Hey, OG.
Congrats on the win,
congrats on the shot.
I just wanted to know, like,
like, the play before obviously,
Kemba like, kind of,
dropped that [inaudible] time
and they got that dunk there.
You guys took a timeout--
Like, what was the mood
like in that timeout? What--
Can you-- can
you tell us a little bit
what was discussed and, like,
how confident were you guys?
[inaudible] after that.
We'll stay confidence
in next play.
We was focused
on getting this play,
getting a good shot off.
Confident, anyone
who took that shot,
they'd make it, so.
We're just looking
for [inaudible].
The group was resilient, so.
Just next-play mentality.
Steven: Thanks, OG.
Announcer: Next we'll
go to Christian Larry
from Raptors.com.
Christian: Hey, OG.
Maybe a stupid question.
Just watching like you
just showed no emotion
after you hit the shot.
Like, how do you--
how did you stay so cool
after such a big play?
It was my shot, I
expected to make it.
So, I don't shoot
trying to mess,
every shot I shoot
I try to make it.
So, I was not surprised.
I wasn't surprised.
Steven: What did you--
what was your feel for,
I guess, for you and
the team's emotion
through the game?
It just-- it just seemed
like it was so hard-fought
and you just, I guess, yeah--
How would you assess the emotion
that you guys went
through the night?
Everyone stayed even-keeled.
Like, we know it's the
game of runs, you know,
we're going to run,
they're going to run.
Just take the punches.
Keep going.
We make our runs,
they make their runs,
try to get [as many]
stops and just keep going.
Steven: Thanks.
Congratulations.
Announcer: Next, we'll go to
Manolo Rodriguez
from TAB Deportes.
Manolo: Yes. OG,
I'm from Puerto Rico.
Congratulations on the
shot, but how do you feel
this wind can change the
momentum of the series,
which has been
dominated by the Celtics
for the first two games,
but today you guys showed
more courage and
you guys got the win.
How do you think the
momentum changes?
Oh, that's definitely a
momentum-changer.
When we were in
game two we thought
we could have won,
made some mistakes,
but we could have won that game.
So this game, the same
thing, we just won this game.
Just go out with the game
plan, win the next game,
and just try to keep winning.
Manolo: Thank you.
Announcer: Our
next question will be
on [inaudible] Evans.
Go ahead.
Reporter: OG, a
great shot tonight.
As you just mentioned,
you kind of kept your cool
after you hit the
shot, so, I think
you just answered it also, sorry
if I ask you the same question,
how would this shot change
the momentum of the series?
The confidence level
has always been there
for the Raptors, but
now, this shot, kind of, like,
is a wake up call
for the Raptors
or this will make you guys
know that you guys have
whatever it takes to
beat the Celtics now?
It's not [inaudible].
We-- we always
felt like we could win.
So, like, we're not
surprised we won.
Every game, we feel
we have a chance to win.
We didn't play that well in
game one but in game two,
we played well,
we just didn't win.
So, we played well
and we didn't win.
So we're just
going to go out there
and do the game plan
because we're always confident.
Reporter: All right. Thanks, OG.
Announcer: All right. One
more question  for you, OG.
Last one will go
to Andres Lopez.
Andres: Thank you.
OG, congrats on the shot.
You  guys had your back
against the wall in this series
and you really stepped
up to the challenge.
Do you think that games
that go down to literally
the last half a second
like it did today,
do games like this bring
out the best in you guys
as basketball players?
Do games like this
bring out the best of us?
Yeah, like we're
all competitors,
so we all want to win.
So we just play till the buzzer.
