2. PAOLO BANCHERO SPEAKS WITH MARC STEIN

"I'm trying to win every game out there. We've got guys on the team who share the same mentality, so I don't think we're just going to get comfortable with losing and just make it a thing where we're coming into the game just expecting to lose, or that we're just going to move on if we lose a close game. That's just not the guy I am. I'm real competitive."
