Chet Holmgren on Daigneault's trust in players: "It's extremely important... He's gonna stick in there with you if he believes in you. He's not an outcome-oriented person."

Chet on Dort's barrage of threes: "He has a hard task chasing around a lot of ball screens all game long. I'm sure it's exhausting, and I'm sure it's hard to do that every single time down and then go down and shoot the ball. So he's being asked to do something that's extremely

Chet Holmgren on OKC's trust: "It extends way longer than the tip off of the game or the beginning of the series or the beginning of the playoffs. We've all been in the gym working together, improving, getting better, and everybody sees how hard each other works."

Jalen Williams on the 4Q: "Having the right approach throughout the whole entire game. You've just got to stay real steadfast in your approach and trust what we're trying to get accomplished... We just had the right approach about next play, just stacking possessions and trying

Lu Dort on Mark Daigneault: "Mark is a big reason why I've had success in this league... I have a lot of trust in him and he has a lot of trust in me at the same time." "Everybody on the team's got to stay ready. He went back to me today in the 4th. I had to stay ready."

Lu Dort on this moment after hitting his third 4th quarter three-pointer: "A lot of energy, honestly. Shout out to the crowd. The crowd got a lot of emotion out of me today. They were great. I just had to keep trusting it."

Shai on the passing that led to this corner three from Jalen Williams: "It's been nothing that has come out the blue, it hasn't been a secret formula. On that play and the biggest plays and the biggest moments you just flex the muscles that you've been working on all year."

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Lu Dort's three made threes in the fourth quarter: "That's who Lu is. That's his character, and he came up big."

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander after OKC's Game 5 win: "The answer is never a hero play or anything out the ordinary. It's being who we are. It's trusting each other, playing with all five on both ends. Whatever the problem is, we can fix it with the collective effort."

Daigneault on Shai: "I just thought he got more and more composed as the game went on and settled into the game. Despite the fact that the pressure was mounting and it got hotter in there, he got cooler, and just settled into it, made the right plays and let the game tell him
