Bjorkgren quotes: Said the 76ers were great against their double teams, said the team couldn’t attack as much because they were down so much, said Jeremy Lamb’s knee injury isn’t related to his ACL tear and he expects him to play today, said the other teams have longer-lasting momentum.
Bickerstaff quotes: Said playing with less isolation was helpful, said Darius Garland tweaked his groin and he’ll know more soon, said Wade has been great in rebounding and he likes how the team is pulling for him, said Sexton’s grit was important in a win (got stitched up from being hit in the mouth).
Stats and Notes:
*The Cavs actually aren’t playing at the slowest pace these days at 27th in the NBA since Feb. 1, and they’re actually 19th in pace after a D board while the Pacers sit at sixth. The Pacers haven’t slowed down in allowing a ton of shots at the rim, but they’ve been the best team per shot at a league-best 59.7 FG% on those since Feb. 1. This is a pretty good game environment.
