—LaForce: “Coach, what did you do defensively in that high ball screen to take James [Harden] out of quarter the way you did?”

LaForce, though new in her role on TNT, is a veteran reporter — but she's just starting to get the taste of what the late Craig Sager had to endure during many interviews in his career.
Pop was way too busy figuring out what to do to keep the Rockets from making open threes, going toe-to-toe with them thanks to a versatile effort by Kawhi Leonard, a sharp game from Patty Mills, and the seeming fountain of youth from Manu Ginobili.
