• Klay Thompson postgame on the mental adjustment and turnaround: “…can’t dwell on it because they got a really good team over there… let one slip away… watch film and see how to attack them better.”
• On the Lakers rim protection: “A lot of it is Anthony Davis. He’s averaging four blocks throughout these playoffs… didn’t go in the way I wanted them to… it’s one game… even it out on Thursday.”
• On how to stop the fouling: “Just continue to make a mental note and be mindful that this team thrives on the free throw line… slower pace… playing with our hands back and living with the shots they take instead of swiping at everything.”
• On Poole: “…kept us in it… always gonna bounce back. Played just wonderful.”
• On how they were able to use small ball to come back: “Being gritty on defense. Steph made some incredible shots, so did Jordan… we still have another level to reach, especially for myself… no time to dwell on it, we have another game on Thursday.
• On the lineup with two bigs: “…when we’re big out there it’s just about being a little more patient… I gotta watch the film… we’ll have a much better game plan come Thursday.”
• On Looney: “…anchor for us… steady… effort and commitment to the game… true definition of a Warrior… tenacity especially on the boards.”
• On his play-making: “I probably can make more plays come Game 2… completely different look than the Kings… trust our ball movement a little more… we always respond when we have a tough night hit.”
NOTE: From postgame Golden State Warriors vs LA Lakers Game 1, held at Chase Center in San Francisco, CA. WE WILL GO LIVE NEXT ON THU 5/4 FOR G2 LAL-GSW AT 6:00PM PDT TIPOFF.
