Live broadcast, December 10th, NBA regular season, Raptors lost to magic. After the game, Raptors coach Nass was interviewed.
When talking about Birch, NAS said: “He did well. I should have let him play in the second half. He only played for 6 minutes, and his positive and negative value was +4. Therefore, I should let him play more time.”
When talking about this loss, NAS said: “We don’t have a good execution, we have made a good start for our opponents. I said before the competition that it doesn’t matter who we play against. What matters is how we implement our tactics. If we have good execution, we can beat any team, otherwise it is possible for us to lose to any team, which is the essence of the alliance.”
In this game, Birch played for 6 minutes and got 1 point, 1 rebound and 1 assist, plus or minus +4.
