Winning coach Ima Yudoka, explained at the end: "This time we were much more physical than in the previous game. We did not like the form we reacted in the previous game, so we worked on our problems the last three days. "Huge, I'm not just talking about his blockages, it's the presence itself. He was a big part of our good evening."

On the other hand, Draimond Green, who again dealt more with fights with the crowd than with basketball on the floor and finished with just 2 points, concluded in his own way: "I played very badly. They did what I expected and I do not want to respond to their claims. I enjoy it because they waste a lot of energy For me".
