James Harden We gotta do a better job as a team its not a one-man job in regards to defending Jalen Brunson

James Harden What chatter I play basketball and whatever this team needs me to do Im gonna go out there and do it Win the game and thats what we did

Dray rips Cavs defensive effort Guys don't want the challenge to fight through screens and switch every fucking time Ain't Harden's job to guard Brunson but for some of the guys switching off it is their job Nobody's doing that to Steph because we weren't gonna allow it

Tyrese Haliburton I don't think it's as much head coach teaching as much as it is like player development even before you get to the NBA it's just something you like kind of work on by natureeven in pickup they're working on how they can draw fouls I think that's a part of the game
