VJ Edgecombe postgame - We felt like we should've won it It came down to shot-making at the end of the game They were making shots we wasn't we missed a lot of wide open ones

Paul George after the Game 1 loss - We had breakdowns tonight but they also shot the s--t out of the ball They were hot they came out hot they came out on fire But it's a game of adjustments we'll make adjustments They don't get any extra points for going up big tonight
