Game Notes
- Durant on Paul George: “He’s low maintenance…same type of attitude that I bring…we kinda click” [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3QLqxQV96k&w=560&h=315]
- Kevin Durant on Paul George: “He’s so smooth, man, can do it all…I got nothing but respect for Paul” [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKHmLnvw3r0&w=560&h=315]
- “I looked at (assistant coach) Mike Brown and he said, ‘He doesn’t care if he shoots,’ and I really believe that. I think Kevin takes so much joy in other people doing well. … He’s just a phenomenal teammate, unselfish and amazing to coach.” — Ron Kroichick, San Francisco Chronicle
- “He’s my favorite player in the league,” Durant said of George at shootaround on Monday. “I’ve been saying that for awhile. Just so smooth, man. He can do it all: pass, rebound, defend, post up, shoot the ball. He’s my favorite player.” — Anthony Slater, The Mercury News
- “There’s a resiliency to our team,” said Curry, who had 20 points in the third quarter. “For us to be able to correct mistakes and bounce back quickly and not have multiple games in a row where we don’t show up to play says a lot about the character of this team.” — Connor Letourneau, San Francisco Chronicle
