Here’s a sample of what the Spurs and Warriors said after the game.
Mitch Johnson:
“These guys have stayed together. We’ve been through a lot. We’ve had a long season, we’ve had highs and lows and adversity, and one thing that’s never wavered is their togetherness. That’s a testament to all of them.”
“I think both teams, through the course of the game, no matter who was in, I thought they executed and they played at a high level and they (Warriors) didn’t have any lapses. I think with us, that’s something we can learn from. Obviously, turnovers shot quality communication, defensive breakdowns, and things like that happened at certain times. When you’re playing against good teams, they capitalized.”
“I think anytime as starters, you start off the game and there’s a lag, it sets the tone. And for us, we have to be better. Mitch called us out on that. I thought the second unit responded or that came in, responded with more energy.”
