• Steve Kerr postgame: “good job… staying poised… plays down the stretch to seal the win.”
• On Draymond: “they were calling him Draymond Nowitzki after the fadeaway… when Sacramento played really good defense, those guys knocked down shots.”
• On the late timeout and sticking with the vets: “We were gonna ride our guys, best two-way lineup… Loon… offensive rebounding and defense… both Dray and Loon are so good setting screens.”
• On if he’s seen Draymond on tape needing to score: “We’ve talked about it throughout the series that our bigs need to score the way Sacramento is playing us.”
• On the team being different than before tonight: “With a healthy group we can put two-way lineups out there… having Gary back… Wiggs… you can see, we’re a different team now.”
• On Looney: “all the stuff that coaches love… looking to throw the ball back out… never turns the ball over… seven assists tonight so we can run the offense through him… defense… championship player.”
• More Steve Kerr postgame with Kerith Burke, on Draymond attacking: “It’s dramatically helpful… when Draymond scores more than 15 points we usually win… the way they’re guarding us… stretching.”
• On if Draymond’s statue will be like Dirk: “I hope not… multiple help situations, long rebounds, steals. We kept getting stops… Draymond was in the thick of it.”
• On growing through a series: “We understand the nature of a seven-game series… you have to grow… we didn’t rebound and turned the ball over… keep the possessions even, we usually win… it’s not done yet though.”
• On if he’s excited about Game 6: “I’m looking forward to a beer right now.”
