"We had 21 turnovers and we did not execute very well offensively. The spacing was bad, and we had probably three potential layups in the first half and we didn't run, we didn't cut to the rim, we didn't get to the corners. We just looked a little disjointed."
"De'Anthony Melton scored a season-high 28 points and threw down a shocking poster dunk in the second half, while Moses Moody continued to shoot well and scored 24. Brandin Podziemski came off the bench to score 16 and grab 16 rebounds."
"The Warriors were without Steph Curry (runner's knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) as neither man made the trip with the team. That lack of firepower was apparent in the first half, as the visitors shot just 31.3% from the field and made a ghastly 23% of their triples."
