“Life’s a lot easier when you have Justin Brownlee around,” said head coach Tim Cone during the post-game press conference. “What a phenomenal, phenomenal performance that was by Justin. I’m amazed by it.”

“We never would have thought it back then, when we had that four-game losing streak that we would reach the Finals. So yes, we are very proud of what these guys did,” he added
