Mavs coach Rick Carlisle on Josh Richardson:
"Richardson played terrific both of these games. Love the way he's shooting the ball. Love the way he's picking up the reads."
Doncic on his conditioning:
“I mean, people on Twitter say every stuff ... But, it’s true I’m not in my best shape. I will get there for sure. But, you know, I’ve never been a muscular guy, so what can I say?”
Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle on rookie Josh Green:
"He's progressing and he's aggressive. He keeps a lot of risk out of the game. ... It was good to see Green knock in a couple of three-point shots."
Josh Richardson on his role:
"I think I bring leadership, I think I bring toughness, I think I bring some intangibles to this team. ... And I can hit shots.''
Tim Hardaway Jr. on a bounce-back second half:
"I think, just coming out at halftime, coach just said, 'Set a tone.'
Luka on the team chemistry going into the season:
"The chemistry is very good and we are going to do very well"
The Mavericks will travel back home for their final preseason game on Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
