Kenny Atkinson says their shot quality was in the 97th percentile in the first half and feels like it was still pretty good in the second half "We knew coming into this series we were gonna have to make 3's...can easily go home and shoot 43%, maybe it's a different story."

Jason Terry That guy rocked.

look we knew Trae is not a power lifter but this is borderline embarrassing for a pro athlete

Mike Brown was asked if he thought fatigue could play a factor down the stretch of tonight's game: "That's hard. We did tell our guys, it is known that Cleveland's guards, they're playing 50% more minutes than our guards. If you're playing every other day, could that take a toll? We told our guys it could take a toll so stay with it no matter what the score is down the stretch. You don't really know if it does or not. You hope telling your guys that, it gives you a little bit of a psychological advantage. I'm going to let out a secret. When I was with Golden State, we played Houston in the playoffs. We counted James Harden's dribbles. We told our guys, 'hey, he's dribbling close to 1,000 times.' He's not doing that anymore, because they've got Donovan Mitchell. At the time, we were like, 'he's dribbling almost 1,000 times a game. Our high guy is KD at like 300 or right below 300. Keep picking him up full-court, keep making him dribble, because at the end of the series, at the end of the games, it's going to wear him down.' Did it? Probably not, but you say stuff like that to help give your guys a psychological advantage, so I don't know."

A hex if I’ve ever seen one
