3:00 • Will Hardy postgame on Markkanen: “they’re not just gonna let Lauri tee off in the fourth quarter…that fourth quarter we couldn’t seem to find a very good rhythm…Golden State did a very good job defensively of not letting him (take over).”
6:15 • On the Warriors’ system: “the ball has energy…everybody loves to touch the ball. They’ve been the mode of the NBA for ten years…moments when it’s your time to shoot, it’s not like it’s the first time you’ve touched the ball…emulate…it creates a different type of a vibe on the team…just stand on the side and wait for the ball to come to you…move your body around…provides a different feeling…they’ve always done such a remarkable job…even though Steph and Klay have taken a majority of the shots, all of those guys a part of the game…we’re trying to replicate a little bit of that in Utah.”
8:15 • On what changed the game: “The defense that bothered me the most was the defense on Ty Jerome at the end of the third quarter…their building goes crazy…the Jordan Poole three in transition…I’m really happy with they way our team competed tonight…I’ll have to go back and look at the film.”
