David Adelman asked if poor scheduling led to this result I'm not gonna say that I will say that I think both teams were very tired coming off an unbelievably physical overtime battle on a late Friday night If it affected us it surely affected them as well

Kenny Atkinson in the postgame of Game 1I thought they hit some really tough shots in the 4th quarter we got a little unlucky quite honestlyI'm super proud of the way our group played We played great basketball tonight for 3 quartersHe blames fatigue for the drop

SNY Donovan Mitchell Y'all asked me 1000 times if we were tired I can't tell you yes But we did this to ourselves Not an excuse they're a hungry team They beat us swept us I don't want to diminish that But we didn't give ourselves a chance because we didn't handle business

SNY Kenny Atkinson said losing the Game 6s in the previous rounds hurt the Cavaliers We win those Game 6s we beat the Knicks - I'm not saying that but I think it gives us a better chance But the density of the frequency of the games played a part in it

Kenny Atkinson on if the Cavaliers had won game one would it have changed the outcome of the series Look at the other games and the totality of it they pretty much dominated so I think it's a reach to say if we won that it would've changed the series

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

Banchero on why the Magic didn't have a go-to play to run during their drought This series has been a slugfest so I wish I had some complex answer about what action or whatever ball movement but sometimes the game just goes that way We had a very bad drought tonight no point in dwelling now
