Omari Sankofa II: Tobias: “Teams that go to Game 7 usually are lax in this type of game. We said before the game, don’t let that be our team. For us, just coming out with that type of energy, that type of fuel to keep us going, embrace the crowd, embrace this moment and just find our rhythm.”
Oh No He Didn't: Donovan Mitchell: "A friend of mine got fined for talking about flop...I feel like that's what I gotta do at this point. I'm trying to get to the bucket...I'm just not getting the calls. I don't know why. I don't flop maybe that's why"

Omari Sankofa II: Robinson: "How we started last series was not up to our standard. I know (Duren) was discouraged about how he came out in that series. I give him credit for maintaining the consistency of the process, and that series was a microcosm of how effective he can be when he stays at it"
Omari Sankofa II: Harris: "We’re playing a step quicker in terms of our instincts on the floor ... and we still can do better. There were many plays out there with 50-50 balls we have to get. We have to dominate the game in terms of making those extra effort winning plays."
Omari Sankofa II: Harris on the team's play late: "Just staying composed. Everyone understands from the last round, we've been here before. Just staying relaxed. "I think we learned a lot from the Orlando series to take us through this one, and our entire group is embracing playoff basketball."

Hunter Patterson: J.B. on where Duren was most impactful: “His all-around game is effective for us. Down the stretch in particular his will to want to go get the ball, the offensive rebounds and how he imposed his will to give us extra possessions — thought he did a great job for us.”
Omari Sankofa II: JB deserves credit for trusting Jenkins through his early struggles in the postseason and allowing him to work through it. Jenkins huge for them in Game 7 and in the fourth quarter tonight.
Omari Sankofa II: JB on Duren and the two-man game with Cade: "The coverages are different, so they know their outlets …. But I'm not here to hop on the scoring piece. JD does so much for us all around that we know he’s capable of scoring, but his impact is felt no matter what."
Omari Sankofa II: JB on forcing 19 turnovers: "That’s who we are defensively. That’s what our physicality does to people. It puts them in tight spots and then they have to make plays in tight spots. The aim is to wear you down as much as we possibly can."
Omari Sankofa II: JB on the convo with Holland when he didn't play in Round 1: "You just have to stay ready. We talked to the guys that these are quarters, games, series, roles and responsibilities are going to change. Whatever skill you have is going to become necessary at some point."
