Asked J.B. Bickerstaff how Jalen Duren is progressing and if he’s on track to play tomorrow: “We’re just being cautious and making sure we don’t put him in a compromising position. But he’s done everything we’ve asked him to do. He’s been able to pass all the tests.”

Cade Cunningham on the final play of regulation: “We all saw the play, I think it’s pretty clear it was a foul. (Ausar) has the ball in his possession, he’s running forward, he gets tripped up. It’s a foul, it’s been a foul the whole rest of the game. Wasn’t a foul that time.”

Jalen Duren on his biggest takeaway from how last postseason ended: “It was humbling, I just need to get better. … I’m man enough to acknowledge my flaws and I’m man enough to acknowledge I’m not perfect. I’m also man enough to get my ass in the gym and work on those things.”

J.B. on whether this season was a disappointment: “It’s not a disappointment at all. Not ever will I be disappointed in these guys. These guys, every single day, give us what they’ve got. … It’s a loss, it’s a tough loss. But that adjective will never be used with this group.”

Asked Cade Cunningham how he can be more effective against the Cavs’ defense: “I’ve struggled against these things before, I’ve succeeded against these things before. … I pride myself on making sure my team has the best PG on the floor, I didn’t do a great job of that tonight.”

J.B. on Ausar’s minutes: “It’s one of those balancing acts you’re trying to figure out in the moment of what you need. Having more ball handlers on the floor, being able to take Cade off the ball. … We know how important AT is for us. He’ll have a consistent role, as always.”

Asked Cade Cunningham his thoughts on the officiating down the stretch in Game 3: “If you catch the ball in the frontcourt and you cross the line, I thought that was backcourt. … I thought the time on the clock, I thought we could check that. It was decided not to.”

Tolu Smith on telling his family he’d been converted to a standard contract: “My mom was crying, granny was crying, everybody was crying. Just seeing that almost made me cry. Seeing those tears of joy, seeing the work I’ve put in and trusting God. That’s all it’s been.”
