There’s a time where you’re trying to exercise the demons of what happened in game one and not let the momentum slip.”

“And understand how Boston plays. We needed to create separation and needed to figure out a way to, you know, really take hold of that game and get back into the series,” said Steph about bouncing back from the game 1 defeat.
