""We've been in the midst of a pretty rough stretch and it's not about just one game right now. There's got to be a continual pursuit for us getting better and growing," swingman Landry Shamet said. "So, fourth-quarter blowout, cool, whatever. It's an opportunity against a talented NBA team to build and grow on some of the things that we're trying to grow on and get better at. So kudos to our guys continuing to carry the standard and finish out the right way.""
""A win. That was the most important thing, just finding a way to break the ice and get one in the left column," Towns said. "So good game, good day for us to show what we're capable of, but consistency is what makes champions and we've got to find that consistency and bring this kind of intensity and energy and execution every single night.""
