SPURS
Coach Gregg Popovich:
"Both teams missed a lot of shots in the first quarter. Nobody could really put it in the hole really. The best part of the game was being in the fourth quarter and standing up to their run. We kept our composure and continued to execute and that was the best part of the game."
Johnson:
"That's a really good team. A really amazing offensive team. We just tried to make our presence known throughout the whole game. We had a big emphasis on starting off strong and getting to a great start. We're just trying to build good habits. You learn a lot of things when you lose close games."
Sochan:
"Every game matters. You learn something from every game. Whether good or bad. As we always said, it is a process. Every day we just want to learn, grow, whether its in film, practice. Treatment. Understanding our bodies. It's important to learn and grow together. Every game matters no matter if we are in the playoffs or not."
Wembanyama:
"We learn. We compete in every game. Now we execute better. That is the difference. Realizing our strengths more and more. Having each other's back. We want to be great and every game matters.
