Tre Jones said team is active on the boards and have a goal to end each defensive position with a rebound.
"We were playing together as a unit for sure," Jones said on Sunday. "We were real active on the defensive end. We haven't really talked too much about offense. We know that will take care of itself. We want to get going defensively as a team.The Spurs gave up 120 points and still managed to win the game. Keldon Johnson scored 20 points to lead the offensive assault, while Chris Paul chimed in with eight assists and Jeremy Sochan notched a team-high eight rebounds.
"Our energy was contagious," the point guard said. "We were talking a lot, in the right spots defensively and finishing each possession with a rebound and pushing. Getting those stops we were getting, you want to play like that. It makes it more fun."

Jones said if the guys on the perimeter do their job on defense by forcing the ball inside the paint, Victor Wembanyama will clean up the middle. "We do our jobs on the perimeter and Victor will do his job in the paint," Jones said. "We can definitely tell that we cannot make the same mistakes over and over again. We tried in the past to learn from the mistakes, but there is no room for that. We have to stop that for the team's sake.
