Mitch Johnson:
“From the first 12 games prior, we won a lot of close games, so those felt a lot different than this, but I don’t know if the process of assessment is much different. Obviously, the emotions at times can ride high with the wins and losses, and that’s what we are in the business of, but we’ll get back to work and continue to try to get better.”
Wembanyama:
“I think he (Fox) put the defense in a tough spot, and we trust De’Aaron with these kinds of shots. History has proven he’s more capable of making things happen at this point in his game. And I know the team trusts me as well to take the final shot.”
