SPURS
Gregg Popovich: "We didn’t make threes again, which has not been our greatest deal this year, but we didn’t give up 28 points off of turnovers. We played very good defense. If you don’t make the threes, obviously you better hit the board and you better be playing good defense, so you can stay in the game. They did that fantastically."
Poeltl: "We didn’t hesitate. Derrick and DJ were attacking pretty hard, and then I was trying to be aggressive in my rolls and getting to the rim. It’s a matter of chemistry."
White: "Everybody likes each other. Everybody wants to see each other succeed. I’m always happy seeing; I mean, [Jakob] did well, Tre had a good game today, Lonnie. You can just go down the list."
