Oso Ighodaro on what he learned from playing the Thunder in the first round They were calling out every single one of our plays immediately I went through their playbook and knew pretty much their actions but the level at which they knew our plays was definitely different

Devin Booker on the Thunder They're a well oiled machine They're the champs for a reason They will know what they want to get every time down court and they definitely know what they're on the defensive end We have some growing to do and learning to do in those departments

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

JB Bickerstaff on Tobias Harris efficiency postgame - There's so many guys that think dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble is a game

LeBron on the loss to OKC We were not out worked They didnt out physical us They didnt outsmart us I feel like we were just out talented you know by OKC They just possess so much more talent
