• Klay Thompson postgame on Q2: “The turnovers and our fouling. That’s one me, playoff career-high 6 turnovers… 37 times is way too many (Laker FTs)… being sure with the ball and not fouling.”
• On his turnovers: “I just made errant passes… wasn’t making the shape crisp passes… film… respond.”
• On the turnover with Steph: “That was my fault, I should’ve sprinted to the rim… I’ll just be much better Monday.”
• On playing his first playoff game at Crypto: “…awesome thing to do… I don’t take for granted… looking forward to a bounce-back performance. This one stings but we don’t have a lot of time to dwell on it.”
• On reconciling how they played in G2 vs G3: “At the end of the day it doesn’t matter if you lost by 30 or 1 because it’s still 2-1… we’ve been through more adversity… ten years here.”
• On regaining composure in a game: “Shoot, just being mentally tougher and coming together as a team rather than splintering… we are a very tough team and we got punked tonight, unfortunately… watch the film, dissect it and be better.”
• On heading into Game 3: “Play with our hands back, stay in our feet and contest without fouling. Yeah, do those three things.”
NOTE: From Golden State Warriors postgame after Game 3 vs LA Lakers, held at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, CA. WE WILL GO LIVE NEXT ON MON 5/8 FOR G4 GSW-LAL AT 7:00PM PDT TIPOFF.
