WILLIE GREEN'S PRE-GAME QUOTES

• “It just starts with the mindset, number one, coming into the game. Being the more physical team, making sure we’re getting stops and getting contests. Heavy, heavy contest on these guys. [They’re] Really good mind-range shooters. So, making sure we get to Grayson Allen, who has been shooting the cover off the ball lately [and] then finishing possessions. All of the things we continue to talk about on the defensive perspective. We realize that this is a talented team, a talented Phoenix team and they’re starting to play better.”

• “I haven’t really given it thought, but the one thing that we all want is for all of our guys to be full strength and to be healthy as a team. So, I’ve been watching him work on the floor. He’s getting better and better and getting closer and closer so we’re all happy about that.”
