Notable Quotes

 
"That was as upset as I've seen him and that I have been in a long time. He clearly got fouled. When he knows he got fouled on a play like that and he doesn't the call the competitor will come out in him and he will lose his mind a little bit. But it will spur him like it did in this instance." - Steve Kerr defending his player Steph Curry on a play where no foul was called against the Clippers on Sunday.
 
 
"Obviously, everybody knows the ultimate goal is to win a championship. But if you don't enjoy the small victories throughout the regular season, then what the hell are you doing?" - Chris Paul on their massive win streak after a win against the Nets on Saturday night.
