"I think we should feel pretty good. Definitely some tough games out there against really good teams in the East. Those are the teams we want to face every single night. The games came at us pretty fast. I liked the way we responded every single game." - Pascal Siakam on their win against the Hawks on Friday night.

 

 

"Obviously, we were all frustrated, all of us, in the third quarter, early fourth, and it got a little emotional there. Beyond that, I'll leave it there." - James Borrego on his team’s loss against the heat on Saturday night.
