“They’re going through so much over there. (We) relaxed. You don’t think you could lose an NBA game like this. They’re missing how many guys? They’re playing guys that are up from the G League. Xavier Moon came in and hit some shots for them. Keon Johnson, James Ennis… .. they all made an impact I felt on the game, and I think we came in too chill to start.”
