“We played a while without him (Hayward) and I’ve said it before, it’s crazy for anybody to think that we are better without him. We’re so much better when he’s out there. He’s so much more dynamic, so much more versatile when he’s out there. It felt great to have our full team back and he played great in his first game. He’s going to continue to get better, get his feel back. So to have him back is everything.”
