"It was anybody's game and we're thrilled we got the victory. I thought we played hard enough to win. We'd like to play a little bit more solidly probably but hopefully, that will come in time. It was a very competitive game, obviously," Gregg Popovich.
"I feel good but I am more happy for the win. I got to watch my team and that was tough, just seeing us need that leadership and everything, and losing games but at the end of the day, we came and fought versus a really young, good team," Murray.
"Grinded it out. Made the plays when we needed to. When we're locked in and we're guarding, we're a good team," Derrick White.
