"JJ [Redick] specifically was like you have to be comfortable with your body and what you can do to go out there and help us be successful. And I want to get back out there as fast as I can. But like I said, I feel good and trending in the right direction and can't wait to wake up tomorrow and attack another day."
"Our confidence doesn't waver as a team. Basically the message from that day forward was ... that they were going to do everything as a team to give us an opportunity to come back and play."
Austin Reaves is close to returning from a Grade 2 left oblique muscle strain, with a game-time decision for Game 5 against the Houston Rockets.
