Luka Doncic on Austin Reaves’ late-game charge: “It was amazing. His first game without minute restrictions since his injury. He did some amazing things out there.”

LeBron James on Caitlin Clark recognizing his discipline and the origin of it: “When it started, I don't know. But it's been there for quite a while and she's (Caitlin Clark) disciplined as well. I guarantee if she had to give up something in order to get her back on the floor, she'll do it as well. But yeah, it is just part of my, it's part of my make-up, to know that I can knock out things and lock in on. That was one of the moments just being able to take things out that I love. I'm not gonna say like it's the reason why I came back or whatever the case may be, but just being able to be disciplined like that and try to get my body in the best possible shape, give my body the best possible chance to recover when that was going on, when I wasn't playing and things of that nature. So, when I was trying to come back, I would say that.”

JJ Redick on Luka Doncic: “[Kris] Dunn is a great defender. I think he (Dončić) was able to draw a foul. He was able to get the and-one. [He] got a paint touch and missed a bunny. So yeah, I thought he did a good job. There was a couple plays we ran with just him as his decision maker [and] him as the ball handler. It's not necessarily ISO, so it wasn't [and] we didn't like call ISO for him. When plays break down, you gotta go get it sometimes, and he's able to get it. But I mean, we've played through. [The] LeBron Philly game’s a great example of that. All three guys were on the court. We played through LeBron at the end of the game. We obviously have played through AR (Austin Reaves) at the end of the game. Just reading the situation and we obviously, everybody, including his teammates, feel really comfortable with Luka having the ball.”

JJ Redick on Austin Reaves: “I thought the charge was the play of the game. Frankly, the second charge would've been the play of the game had made the right call, which they didn't. And you know, they (Clippers) make a three, but you know, that was a huge play given the circumstances. He was fantastic tonight, you know, other than the two turnovers there and the third in traffic. He just played a super efficient night. I mean, look, Luka was fantastic, and I'm sure you'll have questions about him. I thought [Marcus] Smart and DA (Deandre Ayton) in that fourth quarter were really difference makers for us. Smart was fantastic on defense all night. And then seven minutes left in the fourth or whatever it was, and he hasn't taken a shot. We come out of a timeout, he makes a three, and then he makes another one. Then he gets the and-one. So, just huge from him. I guess it was a long two, but in my mind, it was a three. But, just huge stuff from him. Leadership in the huddles, all that. And then DA was great and very engaged and just was able to execute our defensive game plan at a really high level.”
