THEY SAID IT…
“Cory played super. He did a good job. He came in and ran the offence. He had one tough turnover down the stretch, but again, defensively he was solid. Offensive he was attacking the rim and made good decisions.”
– Dwane Casey on another strong game from Cory Joseph
“We turned the ball over too much. We had miscommunication. We didn’t execute down the stretch defensively. We turned the ball over five times in that quarter.”
– Kyle Lowry on the fourth quarter
“We had too many mistakes on the defensive end. We gave up too many layups. We had a 10-point lead with four minutes to go. They turned it up. We lost communication a couple times coming down the floor. That hurt us.”
– DeMar DeRozan on losing a tough one on the road
