• Steph Curry postgame on Draymond: “brings out that competitive fire that we’ve demonstrated for a decade… will yourself out of a situation… heard him say, not a lot of people can talk when they’re down 20… competitive will that we’ve had… no matter how bad we’ve played… we can pull off a night like tonight… has a feel for when we were a little sleepy.”
• On how emotional he was getting: “Nah, that’s just — I’m not a big talker… engaged on getting into the flow of the game… all the trash-talking and the fire. I like to be in there and feel that energy.”
• On the emotions in the runs: “Our crowd gave us a big boost and we gave them something to cheer about… we finally connected the game… we gave up 20 fast break points… (then later) we were just unstoppable… ran away with it.”
• On the slow start: “Our energy was okay. It was deflating plays over and over again… gave them extra possessions… Draymond lit a fire… we have to play better if we’re gonna beat a lot of teams in the playoffs, but not a lot of teams can do what we did.”
• On 50-40-90: “It’s always on my radar.”
• On Bob Myers keeping Draymond in line during the fifth foul: “whether it’s front of 19,000 on the bench or whether it’s a phone call or a text… you don’t see him come down that often… timely… something that Draymond responds to… idk whatever he said in that moment… but it goes a long way.”
NOTE: From Golden State Warriors vs New Orleans Pelicans, held at Chase Center in San Francisco, CA. WE WILL GO LIVE WITH SAS-GSW ON FRI 3/31 AT 7:00PM PDT TIPOFF.
