QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Kevon Looney postgame Game 5 with Jason Dumas of KRON-TV, on how draining this game was: “one possession can change the whole momentum… of the series… everybody’s desperate trying to make plays… definitely draining.”
• On what Kerr told the team at halftime: “Up the physicality… eliminate offensive rebounds, they were winning the possession battle at halftime… Draymond kinda changed it.”
• On Draymond coming off the bench: “How accepting he is… just wanna win. He’s willing to sacrifice his body and… the streak… not just about individuality… about the team.”
• On what it will take to win Game 5: “Warrior basketball… rebounding.”
• Jordan Poole after Warriors practice, day before Game 5, on a player going through injuries during the playoffs: “you just wanna be out there with your guys and try to give your team the best chance you can to win, whether you’re at a hundred percent, whether you’re at seventy percent… good mental toughness but also have a will to win as many games as possible.”
• On who helps the Warriors players make the final call: “It’s always due to the individual. Of course you talk to the training staff and the coaches… there’s a fine line… negatively impact your team… every possession matters.”
• On Andrew Wiggins: “He’s been fantastic. First game back, it shows that he brings a different dynamic… energy-wise… such a big part of our team.”
• On the Sacramento crowd and if last year’s experience helps: “played in some pretty loud arenas in my life… Boston’s fans but it’s the playoffs… get an open look and 18,000 fans screaming… embrace it… special… always be ready for the moment.”
• On being a different team on the road, with GP2 and Wiggs: “We got a couple pieces that were pretty pivotal… to the culture… we know how important everything matters.”
• On comebacks being harder on the road: “You have 18,000 people screaming at you… when you do something wrong… really tight group, find ways to execute.”
• On Draymond coming off the bench: “(after hhh)… worked out pretty well. 2-and-0 at home… gotta get a big win and I’m just glad we were able to take homecourt.”
• [Inaudible, possibly on the play where he was knocked down then helped up by Donte and Draymond, see our behind-the-scenes video]: “Just try to bring comedic relief to the arena.”
• On Kerr valuing his opinion: “It’s fire, honestly. It’s pretty cool… share your thoughts, your opinions… through the course of practice, shootaround… Steve is a little bit different than the coaches I’ve been used to. It’s pretty cool, honestly.”
