Here’s a sample of what the Spurs and Jazz said after the game.
Mitch Johnson:
“They (Utah) obviously get credit for their production and their performance, but when you say evaluate ourselves – pretty disappointed in quite a few things, the game plan execution in terms of just not being connected on very simple things that we do every game that weren’t necessarily pertinent to just the Utah Jazz, but the Utah Jazz took advantage of that and crushed us when we made mistakes.”
Keldon Johnson:
“I feel like tonight, I feel like we didn’t deserve it, and from top to bottom, I feel like we didn’t deserve it. I feel we’ll make those proper adjustments. “We have a standard, and I feel like we uphold that standard, and we’re going to continue to hold ourselves to a certain standard as a whole organization, as a team, everybody, so we will do that.”
Coach Will Hardy:
