After this game Coach Wes Unseld Jr. and Landry Shamet spoke to the media. Below are a few notable quotes from the postgame conference.

Coach Wes Unseld Jr.

"We didn't have the same energy, that same defensive disposition as the other night. Not in totality, we had stretches but obviously Gaff getting hurt, that put us at a deficit"

"To their credit they deserved to win that game"

"We played some good possessions, then if you don't come up with the defensive rebound, the ball gets kicked around and loose the 50/50 ball, we don't get so you know those are the tough ones"

Landry Shamet

"You could point to a number of [reason's we're struggling from game to game]. We have too many stretches where our attention to detail kind of falls off."

"We were defending, we were really connected. That's always where it starts. I think where team's gone wrong and where we've gone wrong in the past is getting caught up in thinking it's just shots going in. [Offensively we got it going because] I think that's a by product of what we were doing defensively."
