"Give OKC all the credit. I thought they moved better than we did. They were more aggressive. We made threes, and it bailed us out. We were not bailed out by good basketball. We didn't get bailed out by good basketball," said Gregg Popovich.

"Once I touched it [basketball] I was going to let it fly regardless even if I had the starting five on me and the referees on me. It was going to go up," Walker said about his game-winning three-pointer. "I just got to put my head in the game. Just assert myself. I can't come into the game all soft. It all starts with consistency, but it’s effort at the end of the day. Working hard.”

"I just think it's good for our growth as a team to be in those games and to win those games. I think it's just preparing us," Josh Richardson said.
