• Stephen Curry postgame on-court on how they closed: “It was all defense. On the road it was our struggle all year… feel the intensity in the building… Draymond’s attacking… Loon 22 rebounds… our offense wasn’t high powered but it was decisive… connecting the game… overcome the history of the regular season on the road finally.”
• On the probing and-one late: “past that first line of defense you just gotta see where Sabonis is… negate their pressure… literally all I could think about was don’t turn it over, don’t turn it over, don’t turn it over.”
• On Looney’s offensive rebounds: “It’s a luxury to have. Idk if his hands have magnets connected to the ball… second 20-rebound game… gives us such good momentum.”
• On the timeout huddles with Monk getting downhill: “withstand… we just had to keep our composure. There wasn’t actual conversation on the bench… not really worry about the crowd noise… you look up you still have the lead and on the road that’s what you want.”
• On playing the whole fourth at 35 years old: “That’s built on years and years and years of work… Brandon Payne… cycle of off-season work that you put in… sustain that level of cardio… (says YESSIR to Draymond).”
