“We were more physical. More aggressive on ball-handlers. We got into it body-to-body. Better rebounding in the second half," said Gregg Popovich.

"It just shows our grit and our grind. I believe they [Jazz] only scored 39 points in the second half. Our two key players stepped up - Dejounte and Derrick - down the stretch. They were knocking down floaters, getting to the free-throw line, doing what they wanted to do," said Walker.

"Defense. Communicating. Our defense. That's our identity," said Johnson.

"It's a long season. This is obviously a learning season but I feel we have the talent, the group to be able to win games. We've already proven that even with the games we've lost. It's just a process," said Murray.
