- “We’re just looking to continue to grow and get better,” Green said. “Obviously, it will be good to go against someone other than ourselves. We’re just going to come out and try to find a rhythm, and … put some of the things we practiced into play.” — Draymond Green, via Rusty Simmons, San Francisco Chronicle
- “I’m a little nervous. It’s nothing too bad. I’m assuming that – just like when I played – once the game starts, those nerves will go away.” — Luke Walton, via Simmons
