Press Conference:
Media: Tonight marked your very first triple-double game. How did you feel out there tonight?
Parker: Yeah, I was feeling it all game long. But most importantly, my teammates keep getting it done too. You can’t get a triple-double just by yourself and they were making things happen for me and for them all game long. It was such a great feeling seeing my game at a higher level. And now for my next exact – trying to figure out how to do it again.
Media: What can you say about Kevin’s latest achievement?
Coach Frank: First of all, congratulations on getting your very first triple-double, kid. You have proven yourself worthy and I know I did a pretty decent job assigning you those minutes and letting you play on the court when we needed it. Not all players in the NBA can do that, by doing that you have solidified your place in the NBA. Great job, I’m impressed.
