QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Klay Thompson postgame on Steph’s return: “Awesome… he’s just gonna become his MVP self.”
• On Steph’s 19 points in Q4, what did you think? “I don’t know how he thought about it because I can’t read a guy’s mind.”
• On the momentum going in to this game: “We just go out there and do our job… we don’t think about wins or win streaks… every game we’re in.”
• On Jordan Poole?: “Kinda tell him and show him by example.”
• On the confidence going forward: “Our confidence is very high… I’m never doubt this group or this franchise.”
• On why they haven’t played well on the road: “I don’t know. That’s for you guys to write about.”
• On how he’s been able to improve his play of late: “Just being myself and being the player I am, just shaking off some rust. I expect greatness and I’m on my way.”
• Steve Kerr recap on postgame ABC: “it is hard to swim upstream…didn’t quite get over the hump… a few coverage mistakes, but I liked our defense… they didn’t shoot a ton of free throws after that first quarter… 11 threes (only)… 34%… (defense was ok).”
• On Steph: “Never easy coming back mid-season, late in the season.”
• On re-integrating Steph: “The rotations changed, it puts Jordan on the bench to start which is tough… those are just excuses that don’t matter… we’ll keep moving forward.”
• More Steve Kerr postgame podium recap: “Not bad after the start… overall pretty solid defensively… key coverage mistakes… defense was pretty solid.”
• On what the Lakers did to their defense: “they made 11 threes, that’s usually enough to win… it was our offense that we needed to execute a little bit better… one possession games with two minutes left.”
• On what the process will be with integrating Steph: “There’s no process with Steph but there’s a process with the lineup… you gotta get used to the new rotations… probably tough for Jordan… I like where we are overall.”
• On Rachel Nichols joking that Steph isn’t a winner: “You said that (jokes that jokes aren’t taken that way online).”
• On why they are so much worse on the road: “Difficult to pinpoint anything. Teams shoot better than us from three than they do at Chase… this was not a game where I walk away saying what we were doing defensively… Darvin’s done a great job with this team… they made a great trade.., they only turned it over nine times… four more field goal attempts, four more free throws… that’s basically the game.”
• Donte DiVincenzo postgame outside locker room with ABC: “when they get thrown in, just gotta figure it out… biggest thing for us is coming out stronger, to not have to climb out of a hole.”
• On Steph’s return: “He makes it easy. He’s so unselfish… knows when to take over.”
• On the 19-point Q4 for Steph: “That’s just greatness… he knows how to respond… great to see him out there confident, moving well.
• On things trending: “we played three really good quarters of basketball… when we don’t have the fans at Chase Center behind us.”
