TIMESTAMPS/QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:

• Pregame Steve Kerr: “Just common sense. Just coming off the two years with the injuries, this is really unique to play a game after three and a half practices. We’re just being cautious and trying to do the smart thing.” (Alex Espinoza)

0:00 • Steve Kerr on James Wiseman’s performance tonight: “James has had a really good few days of practice...He just has a much better sense of the NBA game now than he did when he was playing a couple years ago...To see him rewarded in the first preseason game is fantastic.”

• On being in Japan and the evolution of the game, Kerr says it's his third time there, mentions the pace: “I’m glad I played twenty years ago and not today.”

• On the crowd: “Before the game, just when the players went out onto the floor, just seeing all the flash bulbs, seeing all the people so excited. It was a great moment. It's a really massive arena.”

• On Rui Hachimura: “When he spoke to the crowd they went crazy...basketball-crazed country.“

• Kerr’s game recap: “It looked like a game where both teams had three or four practices...we shot 7-for-26 from three, they shot 6-for-36. The players don't have their legs underneath them yet.” Kerr calls James Wiseman the player of the game, mentions Donte DiVincenzo and JaMychal Green.

• On Moody: “Got into early foul trouble, wasn't his game...forced a loose ball guarding Brad Beal...gonna be a real factor for us this year.”

5:15 • Wes Unseld’s game recap: “Their level of physicality bothered us at times.”

• Unseld on the Warriors’ length and Wiseman: “They have several guys, obviously Kuminga, Wiseman...underrated as far as skill...people have not really thought of (Wiseman) as a rotation guy...elite-level college player.”
