We’ve been able to respond well all year. We’re looking forward to the challenge. We got to embrace it.”
He added, “Ain’t no other way around it. Last game on our home floor to kind of embody our whole season. We’re looking to give it everything we got. We are not scared, We do not fear the Golden State Warriors. We want to come out and play the best version of basketball that we can.”
