The job that Mark Mitchell did, you know, let me just tell you how proud I am of him,”

“He’s been working his butt off consistently. He’s been really decisive and playing more confidently. And look, I love the two 3s. I love the shooting.”

Look, to our guys’ credit, to be able to turn it around the second half and take care of the ball,”
