• Steph Curry postgame on Draymond sealing the lane for him: “Had a clear lane… Draymond’s so smart.., they’re gonna try to crowd the paint… kinda made eye contact once I kinda turned the corner… smart play, the timing was perfect.”
• Game recap: “Good reminder of what it takes to win against a team that you’re stacked up against in the standings and a playoff-type atmosphere… even if it’s not pretty… just find a way to win and that’s what the playoffs is all about… form an identity.”
• On the ref controversy: “Saw the ref point our direction for the ball, point the other way towards their bench to call a timeout… pretty clear it was our ball… easiest two points Loon has ever had and the easiest assist JP’s ever had.”
• On the Mavs bench stepping up: “If they get going they’re tough to beat… Jaden was really efficient, made some big shots… fearless out there.”
• On defending Luka: “We put them on the free throw line too much in the first half… team formed around him to get space… kick outs to shooters. They made 17 threes off a lot of his gravity… live with him having great numbers… how can you get to the last possession where you have a chance to win.”
• On Kuminga: “He’s showing his ability as a two-way guy… knocked down two threes in the first half… getting more comfortable as time goes on… finding his sweet spots in our system. I hope he’s having fun… that eye test, looks comfortable out there.”
NOTE: From Golden State Warriors at Dallas Mavericks, held at American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX. WE WILL GO LIVE WITH PHI-GSW ON FRI 3/24 AT 7:00PM PDT TIPOFF.
