Deni Avdija on Blazers’ Game 1 Loss to Spurs: ‘We Were Right There’

I think they were just moving it. It’s tough for anybody to play against a team that’s well-oiled, playing fast, getting stops, they’re at their home arena. So I think all that kinda goes into runs. It’s a game of runs, as well all know. But I feel like sometimes we can stop some of those, for sure. With him on the floor, without him on the floor, we just gotta be more aggressive. I’m telling everybody, ‘Hit ‘em. Hit everybody. If they’re rolling down, hit ‘em.’ I think that’s something that we gotta continue to do in this series.
