• Draymond Green postgame recap: “Good to get a win. I don’t even view it as getting over the hump, it’s one game.”
• On coming to Houston: “Definitely a special feeling… when you walk into an arena like this where you’ve had battles… special place for us, we spent a lot of time here… still feel some of that energy.”
• On the combo of him, Lamb, Kuminga: “allows us to switch… good size and good length. Obvious not seven foot or anything… something that we can build on on both ends… we’ll definitely see more of that… allowed us to get some pace.”
• On the 14 first-half turnovers: “Our focus level was pathetic to start the game… young athletic team, they’re gonna be in passing lanes… careless… Coach challenged us at halftime to lock in… did a pretty good job of cleaning it up after awhile.”
• On Steph’s injury: “you always hold your breath… hobbling… can’t afford to lose him… you also know that he’s very tough.”
• On how he’s feeling; “I’m okay… my wrist and hands are a little F’ed up.”
• On advice for the young Rockets: “Not build bad habits… very easy to build habits. But habits are hard to break… important to try to play the right way… Lionel Hollins… John Lucas… young group… need a veteran to relay the messages… they don’t have that luxury… continue to listen… determine the way their careers go… between Tari and KJ… they’re trying to figure it out… I thought it was very interesting to hear one rookie… second or third year… you know they’re well-coached… what they’re working through is actually the right thing to do… Jabari’s playing so much better… way more aggressive.”
