Here’s a sample of what the Spurs said after the game.
Mitch Johnson:
“The defensive activity, and I think it was the most connected we’ve been. The most communication, I think, that we heard from the guys. Navigating, action screens, things that were happening in the court. It has to take five guys in the court to figure out what’s right.”
Champagnie:
“Shoot. My teammates found me. I think that’s the biggest thing. So a couple go in early, and you get rolling.”
“Great performance tonight from everybody. Huge team win. We need that. It’s our third win in a row, and then we want to keep this thing going.”
“Our defense, 100%. Even in our last game, we were picking up and just pressured. As long as we’ve been pressuring the ball and then being in the passing lanes, again, steals and out in transition. Once we’re out in transition, that’s our best offense. So we just got to keep pressuring on defense and just keep being disruptive.”
