Fleming…

“Definitely turnovers. We've got to limit turnovers and execute better.

Washington…

Yeah, I say turnovers. We gotta win good games, win against big, good teams. You got to at least have like 15, 14, 13 turnovers left. We've been having a lot of uh a lot of mistakes, a lot of just not executing. As I said, we got to harp on not turning the ball over and then also coming up with a better start, more energy at the beginning of the game, better start, and I feel like everything else will work itself out.”
