The Spurs are 5-3 on the season and will next face the Clippers at home Friday night.

Here's a sample of what the teams said after the game courtesy of the Spurs.

SPURS

Gregg Popovich

"They [Raptors] deny. They switch. A very good basketball team. They do it really well. We're probably not ready for that right now, obviously," said Popovich.

Bates-Diop

"That's a very good veteran team [Raptors]. That was a good test for us," Bates-Diop said. "That was probably the best team we've played all year. That was a good test for us."

Bassey

"It feels great," Bassey said about playing for the Spurs. "Grateful for them [Spurs] for giving me the opportunity. I did enjoy it and I feel like this is the spot for me."

RAPTORS

Nick Nurse

OG Anunoby

Pascal Siakam

“We made some shots; the ball was moving. It was a good night," Siakam said. "I think for us we just have to stay focused on us, continue to get better, knowing the type of intensity that we have to bring every single night and I think that is more important than the score."
