Here’s a sample of what the teams said after the game.
Gregg Popovich:
“I think they did well. It’s the best team in the west, we gave them a good run. If you shoot 8-37 from three (point line) you’re going to have a tough night and a whole lot of things got to be perfect after that. Can’t make many mistakes. We’re making mistakes but I thought their competitiveness was great. Execution is getting better all the time.”
Wembanyama
“I think collectively we started very solid on defense but of course, I can do better. There was a lot of good in that game. It’s what we are trying to keep and erase the bad.”
“We got to take everything we can to get better.”
“I think we were really good defensively. Even though that third quarter they [Wolves], they made a run, we still you know managed, and we finished a tight game, you know before the score was tied before the fourth quarter.”
