""You look within first. Look at my turnovers, and a lot of them are just on me and nothing they did. It was way too many. If I had to put my print on one thing in the game, that's the game right there.""
""I'm just not getting the calls. I don't know why. I don't flop, maybe that's why. And this isn't just a tonight thing. This has been the entire series, and it's frustrating a little bit, but because I'm such a dynamic driver, right? But I can't control that.""

Cade Cunningham led the team with 23 points, while Tobias Harris and Duncan Robinson contributed 20 and 19 points, respectively.
