"We had the pressure tonight to keep ourselves alive with our back against the wall, and now it shifts. I think we can play better. Obviously, I haven't shot the ball well from three, Klay is hit or miss, so I feel like we can take another step and give ourselves a great opportunity.
"That's the beauty of the playoffs, every game is kind of a narrative of its own, and that's what you love about it."
