“We worked real hard,” Popovich said. “Obviously, the quick turnaround on the back-to-back is not what any of us love, but we all have them. They showed me they are serious about getting a better understanding of what the league is like. For young guys, it was pretty impressive to play as hard as they did.”
“We had a good win last night and we didn’t get complacent,” McDermott added after Saturday’s game. “We came out and competed against a really good team.” “Charlotte, we came out with no energy,” Johnson said. “, we came out with a chip on our shoulder. We’ve been playing how we know we can play. We know we need each other to win. We’re not going to win games one-on-one. We made plays down the stretch, and we made plays all night.”McDermott sank four 3-pointers and scored all 14 of his points in the second half against Philadelphia.
