Steve Jones Jr.: "Talking on defense is important, switching late in games is important because if you do not nail it you end up with Ben Simmons getting 2 on the ball and opening up a pick and pop for Cam Johnson."

Erik Slater: "The Bucks just doubled Ben Simmons on a ball screen at the three-point line and left Cam Johnson wide-open for a three.

On the biggest possession of the game. Pathetic."
