Spurs center Victor Wembanyama after a Game 3 loss: “It’s my first playoffs. It’s the first playoffs for many of us. Of course, there was going to be hard trials. It’s to be expected. But now, we’re going to see what we’re made of.”

Spurs center Victor Wembanyama on a Game 4 win: “It was our first deficit in a playoff series, and we just responded. It was nothing amazing. It wasn't magic. We just did what we needed to do. The series is far from over. We’ve got six more wins before we can rest.”

Spurs coach Mitch Johnson, on Devin Vassell: “He’s been phenomenal. He may be our most consistent player if you took away any stats and just watched us play. … He’s developed into a heck of a scorer in this league.”

Spurs center Victor Wembanyama: “Really, I think the reason we lost that game isn’t even technical or tactical. We need to approach the game with a better mental state,  and we just need to play our game. We just need to be normal. We don’t need to be anything incredible.”

Spurs’ Stephon Castle, on OKC’s efforts to limit Victor Wembanyama: “I think they send so many bodies toward him, it’s hard, at times. I think he just wants to make the right play and wants to win, so it’s tough. But he’s our best player, so yeah, we need him to be aggressive.”

San Antonio Spurs coach Mitch Johnson, on Minnesota’s claims that some of Victor Wembanyama’s 12 blocks in Game 1 should have been called goaltending: “There's a lot of uncalled plays in the game. I didn’t go back and keep track of all of them or take note of all of them.”

Spurs guard Dylan Harper, on playing through injury: “I always knew I had a chance to play. It was more just going through warmups and how I’m feeling. And I felt good. But I think coming out of it, obviously the ultimate goal is to win the game, and we didn’t do that. But just learn from it.”

Julian Champagnie, on bouncing back after his miss to end Game 1: “That's my first game-winner I think I’ve ever taken. So, that’s life. Curry has missed them, LeBron missed a bunch, KD, Jordan, everybody missed them. I’m not comparing myself to those guys, but that’s just life.”

Julian Champagnie: "That’s something I've been working on for a long time, now, trying to stay even keel. I’ve had my ups and downs with it, but I feel like this year my teammates really did pull me together and tell me, ‘We need you.’ Never get too high, never get too low.”
