Butler: "We're confident.. i don't think we can get too confident and settle.. we got humbled tonight i'm proud of it hopefully we go and do what we're suppose to do"

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

Mitch Johnson We needed to continue to play the brand of basketball regardless of the outcome or the score

Butler on new rookie Yaxel Lendeborg I know that guy be speaking his mind I like that He plays tough He is tough I bet he plays dominos too Im gonna have to crack his head in that

Mitch Johnson We werent ready to win an NBA championship The better team won We did a lot of good things and we didnt finish the job That's what it is

SNY Jalen Brunson Our mentality has to be 0-0 the way it's been It has to be that way Us moving forward with that mindset can really benefit us but there's nothing to celebrate It's not over yet Not even close

Stephon Castle on whether they can come back from 3-1I feel like we've made history all year We've proven that with our backs against the wall that we can step up I don't really expect this to be any different
