• Steve Kerr postgame Game 2 recap: “They did a great job defensively of pressuring us… didn’t handle it… that said it’s a tie game with four minutes left… we will play better… you saw what they did… foul trouble, an ejection. The way our guys fought… going home and licking our wounds a little bit.”
• On the Draymond ejection: “I didn’t see the play live and I didn’t see the replay… (Zarba) told me… one of the coaches told me he might get ejected so I was trying to prepare.”
• On the physicality: “Gary hit a big three to tie it… Klay… incredibly physical… not much freedom of movement. They were the aggressors… benefited.”
• On the pace: “Tonight was obviously slower… there could’ve been ten fouls called in the first three minutes… that’s how you have to adapt… they weren’t gonna call much… held them to 17 points but we couldn’t sustain it… I’m really proud of the effort to fight back… just didn’t have enough.”
• On if he’s ever faced a team that matches up with quickness: “We’ve played so many teams… so many different styles. Not gonna go into my history book… every team you play is gonna be a great team… they played great defense… this is just about giving them credit.”
• On the fouls: “Second half there were more called… you have to adapt… a few too many reaches and holds… but it was also an incredibly physical game.”
• On not playing Poole and Kuminga much: “That wasn’t the plan… seeing what we needed… we had to have our best defensive lineup… Gary… Wiggs… Steph played the whole quarter… they got us there… impressive but just didn’t quite have enough.”
• On Moody: “Everything is a balance. You’re trying to find the best two-way balance… need some size out there…
