"I feel like we lacked a lot of stuff in one quarter of the game, then we came out and picked it up in intensity, especially in the second half," Murray.
"I’m happy that so many people were able to participate. It’s great having Jakob back, because he does so many good things. Thaddeus [Young] was fantastic tonight with his minutes on the court. Derrick is back to being the Derrick White that we all remember, and that’s been a big plus for us, so there’s a lot of good things out on the court," Gregg Popovich.
"When my number is called, just being ready to get out there and compete. I understand how to play this game," Thaddeus Young.
"We just kind of upped the energy there and good things started happening. We just made some shots and went on that run in the third," White.
