• Jonathan Kuminga postgame on his performance tonight: “Growing every single day… just the process, not saying I’m where I need to be.”
• On making the most of his opportunities: “trust in the work… being locked in most of the time.”
• On taking the momentum on the road: “just our chemistry. We had a lot of downfall… we knew we were going to bring it up at some point… we’re just gonna keep doing it on the road.”
• On guarding Ingram: “I’m just gonna guard the best players on the floor… watch film… what they like to do… Andre… asking him… coaches… watch film a lot.”
• On what has spurred the energy: “It’s always been there, it’s just a matter of time… a lot of people have been in and out… it’s coming back around.”
• On helping with the energy: “I take so much pride with that.”
• On the matchup with Kawhi and Kerr’s comparison: “He don’t really talk… I dapped him, he was like keeping working boy and stay healthy. And that was my second time (playing him).”
• On Kawhi: “He’s a great player but I don’t look to model myself with anybody… be the only Jonathan.”
• On containing Ingram: “There’s so many dudes in this league… a lot of people just don’t like being physical against them.., get in their head… a lot of people don’t like that… started with Klay… I came in the game and kept doing the same thing… took his rhythm away.”
• On his rebounding: “Establish my defensive and that’s what brings me in the floor and the work that I put behind the scenes that people don’t really see… Kawhi, if you watch his first couple years… played with certain people where he didn’t have to score… hopefully one day I can turn my game to be one of the main guys.”
