What they’re saying

“I thought every time they cut it close, we would call a timeout, run something, you know, get a good shot, then get back to playing some defense. I thought that, fourth quarter, we just simply stopped turning the ball over, you know, we took care of the ball.”

— Doc Rivers, Bucks Head Coach

“The way we're moving the ball, playing with each other, the ball's finding the right guy. I think our guys are starting to recognize matchups. So their hunting matchups and then spacing and making the right plays has been fantastic.”

— Doc Rivers, Bucks Head Coach
