HEAD COACH ALVIN GENTRY

On tonight’s game:
“It was a good team win. We had guys come in and contribute. We had a couple of guys that got a little nicked up. We play tomorrow night, so we didn’t want to use those guys if we didn’t have to. I thought the bench came in and did a really good job. Nickell (Alexander-Walker) played well, E’Twaun (Moore) played well, Nico (Nicolo Melli) played well. We had a bunch of guys contribute, and when we needed to close the game I thought Brandon (Ingram) did a great job of just closing the game.”

On the team’s ball movement:
“We’ve got a very unselfish team. Any time we get to the 30 assist mark, I think we had 35 tonight, any time we get to that number we have good ball movement which means we are creating good shots. Usually when we do that we shoot the ball pretty efficiently.”

FORWARD BRANDON INGRAM

On Jaxson Hayes’ play:
“He’s been really, really big for us with knowing exactly what he needs to do on the basketball floor. He’s been setting screens, rolling fast, dunking the ball whenever he gets it and finishing strong. He’s been really, really good for us pretty much all year.”

On the team’s recent performances:
“I think the confidence is growing. The game is slowing down a little bit and we’re having a sense of urgency on the offensive and defensive end to come in and be the aggressor all night.”

GUARD LONZO BALL

On tonight’s game:
“The team wins, we knew we had to guard them, and that’s what we did, and in the fourth quarter we came out with the win.”

On the future of the team:
“I’m excited to see it, for me it’s more about defense, I don’t really think offense is a big problem for us, especially with this guy (Brandon Ingram) had a clutch game for us, so defense is a big thing.”

FORWARD ZION WILLIAMSON

On Jaxson Hayes:
“Jaxson’s come a long way, I think every rookie just comes in and has to adjust to the League. He’s adjusted very well, he’s been giving us big minutes.”
