Derrick White received a message about 'greatness' from Joe Mazzulla before breaking out of his slump
Briefly

"Just remind him of his greatness. He has the ability to impact the game in different ways. I just thought he was great tonight and obviously his shotmaking but just getting us into our offense, making sure the start of the second and the fourth goes the way that it should go, and then defensively his ability to guard different guys."
"Derrick is so important to our team. I think the rest of the league and the rest of the world understands his value, how talented he is, and how much he contributes to us on a nightly basis."
"Just very fortunate to have a guy like D-White who can handle the ball, take guys off the dribble, obviously he's an excellent shooter. Things he does on the defensive end are so important."
