SPURS
Gregg Popovich
He’s just a stud. He’s going to do everything he can to win. Doesn’t matter what it is. He’s got a lot of those traits that Manu had," Popovich said. "He just does things to win basketball games because of his heart.”
Johnson
"We stuck to our game plan, we executed, and we got the win. The Bulls are a great team. They have great players," said Johnson. "We went out there and just executed and did what Pop told us to do."
Richardson
"I'm proud at how everybody competed," said Richardson. "The Timberwolves are a tough matchup for any team. Coming in here short is not easy. I think we competed for 48 minutes. I'm proud of these guys."
Zach Collins
"We’re super confident in each other, and the way we play is fun, it’s contagious. We all feed off each other and we know that to be successful, everyone’s got to touch the ball, everyone’s got to run the floor and cut hard," said Collins. "We love playing that way. It’s about us believing we can play every night. We did that tonight, again."
Sochan
"It's a process. I think every game I've become more confident. My teammates trust me and I think that's the most important thing," said Sochan.
