Udoka quotes: Talked about how his team came out fresh for Game 7 and mentioned how the team was able to lock in defensively.
Kerr quotes: Talked about the long journey and playing so well to close out the 2020-21 season, said he should’ve played Nemanja Bjelica more in the series (mentioned filling in for Otto).
Injury notes:
Robert Williams – He just doesn’t look right. In Game 7, he looked a little worse than in previous games of the Miami series. Time Lord was getting extra stretches at halftime in the middle of the series, but he didn’t need one in Game 7.
Marcus Smart – Here we go again. Marcus Smart said he is dealing with his right quad, right ankle, and right foot. He said his teammates told him “65-75% of you is better than none of you”. He’ll obviously be a full go minutes-wise, but there’s a chance he may not be 100% even with a few full days off.
