I just try to do the same thing that I always do, which is: make sure the other team doesn’t score. … I want them taking shots that are not comfortable taking and contested. Tonight, they kept attacking the rim, so I kept being there.

You don’t learn how to win by losing on purpose.

I never thought I would be able to do that when I started basketball playing in France, i didnt know an NBA player, I didnt know nothing about basketball. I was just having fun.

James Harden said. FINISHING STRONG Snyder inserted Derrick Favors in the lineup in place of Rudy Gobert for the final 4 minutes of the fourth quarter. The move paid off. Derrick Favors totaled six points and six rebounds in 10 minutes in the quarter. All but one rebound came during the final three minutes to prevent Houston from making a late rally, like in Game 3. Rudy Gobert totaled four points, nine rebounds, and three blocks in 24 minutes. Rudy Gobert admitted to being surprised by the decision, but took it in stride. When hes on the floor and Im on the bench, of course I want to be out there, but if Rudy Gobert has a great game and the team is winning thats the most important thing, thats all that matters.

This game was just to see how I was feeling, i feel great, and I'm not tired at all. Next game I'm probably going to play double the minutes.

The Jazz's the same things that happen when we stop playing the way we're supposed to play and we want to play, and we want to be a championship team, the Jazz's defense and offensively The Jazz's sharing the ball.

I've got to keep my mind in the right place because my team needs me in the game, at the same time, when you've got guys on the bench that don't play, just keep talking and saying some stuff and the officials can hear and don't do anything. As a man, is it worth getting suspended? And we shouldn't have to ask ourselves that question.

I always play with emotion, it was a good moment. It was a key moment of the game. We were playing great. We were making a run. Just a cool block. I think if it had been anybody else, I would have reacted the same.

We didn’t play our best and got behind by 16 points, but this time we didn’t let it slip away. We’re getting better and maybe learning some lessons.

When there’s a team that has nothing to lose and a lot of young guys that want to prove themselves, we’ve lost some of these games.

Mike always tries to make all the guys better all the time, so obviously it’s always a little harder for everybody when he’s not out there.

We know that we’re going to need a better collective effort than we had tonight, hopefully, we get more urgency the next game because now, if we lose, we’re going home, so you can’t get more urgency than that.

We really felt it throughout the whole game. It wasn’t just at the end or in the key moments, having that crowd behind us really gave us a big lift.

Personally, I enjoy those moments, i embrace those moments.

We attacked the rim. We shared the ball, and we played defense. When we move the ball, we get in the paint and we move the ball like we did, I don’t think there is a one defensive scheme that can really stop us. We’ve seen them all.

Donovan’s got better every single year since he’s got here and obviously having him back was key and was huge for us because of the way we’re playing now. It’s fun to play with Donovan.

I feel his presence, and I definitely had to come out tonight and make sure I was helping the team get a win.

We got a few moments when we were distracted, disconnected, every time they score, they are talking, and we know that’s the way they like to play, so we can’t let that affect us.

We just couldn’t find a way to score, especially in the second half, they played hard, they played with energy and they forced us into a lot of turnovers.

These donations are a small token that reflect my appreciation and support for all those impacted and are the first of many steps I will take to try and make a positive difference, while continuing to learn more about COVID-19 and educate others.

I was careless and make no excuse, i hope my story serves as a warning and causes everyone to take this seriously.
