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

Victor Wembanyama was asked how much of a factor fatigue was for him down the stretch of Game 4 Definitely a factor but it's the playoffs Everybody's just as tired It shouldn't even be a factor in the game Now we've got two days between games It's not gonna be a factor

Wemby postgame last night- Personally I think I could've been better in recovering from the high of the Conference Finals

Mike Brown I talked to the refs and they said we were fouling and maybe they're right but there's examples where they were fouling and didn't get called Maybe we did foul but they were fouling too If they do this in Game 4 where it's 24-8 in the 2nd half it's going to be tough for us to win

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
