Wizards vs OKC Postgame Quotes From Coach Brian Keefe /

In this story:

Washington Wizards

The Washington Wizards played The Oklahoma City Thunder on their second night of their road trip back to backs which unfortunately landed them back to back losses.

After this game Coach Brian Keefe spoke to the media. Below are a few notable quotes from the postgame conference.

Coach Brian Keefe

"The last 2 nights we built some momentum going into the break , I think we had 2 tough games verse 2 tough teams. We really didn't finish the quarters well. The first 3 quarters they made big runs in each quarter and that kind of extended the game but we have a long rest of the year, we're gonna get back to work and keep getting better."

"[The defensive breakdowns] is an area we've been focused on. We have been better but the two performances [past 2 games] weren't up to our standards."

"Penetration [was the biggest weakness tonight] and to be honest [OKC] hit every shot in the first half"

"We coach everybody, we expect everybody to play the right way. We're going to coach the full 48 so we want them to play with the identity that we play with which is defense and sharing the ball."

"Johnny [Davis] has been actually a little bit of a bright spot the last couple of games. His physicality, his ability to put bodies on people. I see the rebounding is a skill for him but I'd say the last 2 games his defense has been pretty good"
