THUNDER-JAZZ QUOTE BOARD
The Jazz beat the Thunder 115-102 Saturday night in Game 3 of their Western Conference playoff series. Here is a quote board from the postgame news conference:
•Thunder coach Billy Donovan on if Russell Westbrook’s problems are physical:
“I don’t know. He seems fine (to) me. I thought he did a really really good job there in the first half kind of attacking the paint, making decisions and reads and getting to the rim. He didn’t have obviously a great shooting night, but the thing with him is he always plays hard.”
•Westbrook on his health:
“A lot of (stuff) going on in my body, but that is everybody right now.”
•Utah’s Donovan Mitchell on teammate Ricky Rubio, who had a triple double in Game 3:
“He was all over the place. He was a leader. He was talking. He was communicating, playing great defense and telling us what he saw throughout the game. He’s at his best when he’s vocal. He’s doing amazing things.”
•Carmelo Anthony:
“It was a game of runs tonight. So now it is about really making those adjustments for Game 4. Game 4 is going to be a test of who we are as a team. I think we look forward to those challenges.”
•Utah’s Joe Ingles, on his 21-point night:
“I wanted to come out and try to be a little more aggressive, but I wasn’t going to play out of our team’s system. The way we play, it’s a lot easier to shoot open shots. We move the ball so well.”
