Deandre Ayton on being rewarded with more touches from his teammates: “Most definitely. The ball finds energy. So yeah, they believe in me when I'm down there and sealing. They see me running hard to the rim or crashing and they reward me. [I] just add more and keep stacking as many possessions as I can with that just to have a certain rhythm throughout the game.”

LeBron James on his assessment of Lakers’ growth over the past three weeks: “I don’t know. I didn’t even know what today was when I woke up. You asked me about the last three weeks. I’m the wrong guy to ask, champ.”

LeBron James on his thoughts during the final possession of the game: “I thought we had a good opportunity. Lu (Luka Dončić) came off clean. I think he felt off balance, but we executed. We didn't get the shot that we wanted. We did execute it and it doesn’t go down.”

JJ Redick on his thoughts of the final possession: “I haven't had a chance to really get into it with Luka [Dončić]. We obviously ran a play for him to get a look. I felt like he had a decent shot. I don't know if he thought [Jonathan] Isaac was going to over-help when he hit LeBron [James] there. I thought, if you look at the sequence of events there in the last whatever it was, 36 seconds, we went for a two-for-one. We executed it. We got a wide-open three from Rui [Hachimura]. That's a great shot for us, one of our best shots that we can get, [he] doesn't make it, but we get the ball out of bounds on the deflection, we executed our inbounds. AR [Austin Reaves] set a great screen. LeBron created a lot of thrust on that with some red confusion and we score. Then, we get a stop, just not able to secure the rebound. You go into this game with their size and their strength; you know it's going to be a rock fight. We lose the scoring opportunity by eight in a one-point game. I think that's the game. We had more turnovers than them, they got more offensive rebounds than us.”

What it's all about 💯 @anthonyedwards

It isn't that this person blocked me, it's that they're upset with the game for the wrong (and uniformed) reason.

"I give a lot of credit to my teammates. They encourage me night in and night out." @wendellcarter34 on his game-winning shot and the W against the Los Angeles Lakers 🗣️

"I knew it was either Tristan or Desmond on that wing. I knew [LeBron] tagged, and once I saw him tag, I knew there was someone wide open on the wing. Was very happy when I saw it was Desmond right there, and I knew that was going in. Even in those moments, you gotta make the right play. That's the best shooter on our team and one of the best shooters in the league, so great guy to get the ball to." Paolo Banchero on the play that created a clutch three by Desmond Bane 🗣️

Interesting football style inbounds play, and when's the last time you saw Luka pass up a game winner?
