SPURS
"I thought we were great. Couldn't ask for more. Down the stretch, their [Suns] experience showed. I'm thrilled with how we played. I thought our guys were spectacular," Gregg Popovich said.
"It just shows our will. Going into this game we knew we had to just keep that energy as far as just with aggressiveness and physicality. Players did what they needed to do. We just didn't come up with the win," Walker said.
"It was a great atmosphere. We battled but there are a lot of things we can learn from tonight. We all felt like we could have won that game. We had some errors we made throughout the second half. It's a learning experience for us," Tre Jones said.
SUNS
"The way they [Spurs] were moving tonight, coach said it, we just couldn’t catch up with the ball. They were downhill in the paint all night long, so we were like, let’s try to switch everything," Chris Paul said.
"But it was tough, we just had to play the whole 48 and we knew it wasn’t going to be easy because I know you remember last year when they came in here and whooped us," Mikal Bridges said.
