Coach Gregg Popovich:
"Well, we outscored them (Cavs) 11 to nothing in the last three minutes so the defense was pretty good."
Wembanyama:
"I'm young. Getting better every day and I think we could say that for every month to the next one. The good thing is that my margin of progression, I can get so much better, every week and every month."
"My hunger is bigger than ever to win and to compete. I've learned to get over the frustrations of minute restrictions. It's how it is. My body needs time to adapt to this long season. Once it's ready, it's go time. There's no need to be frustrated. I'll keep my long-term goals in mind.
