SPURS
Gregg Popovich
"It looks like a bucket on the other end with their [Raptors] speed and their athleticism. They got too many points off our turnovers but that's how they play. It's one of their strengths," Popovich said. "We did a pretty good job in a lot of ways. The young kids showed more physicality. A little better decision-making. Overall, I was pleased with their performance."
Poeltl
"We found some good passes tonight. It wasn't enough. We made a couple of too many mistakes. Maybe just missed some shots. At least we turned the ball over less," said Poeltl.
