Monty Williams Cade showed me even more in the locker room just now He talked passionately about the things we need to do and how everyone has to be accountable Nobody wants something like this attached to them Bottom line it's my job my responsibilitycoaches are graded on their record

Charles Barkley Cade Cunningham has more responsibility than any player in the NBA in my opinion They're too dependent on Cade They look for him every single trip up and down the court in the history of basketball you can't depend on one guy to score make every pass against the elite teams

Q Does a team need like a clear cut leader Jamal Murray Don't we have leaders We have leaders I just didn't show up tonight The leader's gotta show up

Coach Atkinson to Donovan Mitchell We turn to you not just your on-court but your leadership your positivity when things were really not going great we never celebrate you in these things you don't want that but tonight you deserve the praise and you're going home and you deserve this

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

Cade Cunningham Never say die Detroit grit It's what we've been talking about all year Not everybody gets the opportunity to have a challenge like this in life So I'm just trying to make the most of it
