“From the attitude. The attitude he had the whole match and with which he played made him score 83 pointse. He didn't get tired, he didn't change his mind at any point during the game and, very importantly, he didn't lose his focus.”

“As a top basketball player, you have matches or moments when you simply feel it. You feel it go into the basket no matter how you shoot, it doesn't matter how many times you do it. You enter a kind of zone and you have confidence. You know you can score from any position and you don't stop”, added “Big Ghiță”, in an interview for as.ro.

Ghiță Muresan stated that the Wizards technician should have defended Adebayo differently, but he made the decision too late:

“The trainer (n.Brian Keefe) should have doubled him immediately after noting that he was unstoppable, but he did it too late, when Bam was already in a trance and even the trap wasn't helping.”

“I am extremely happy for Bam. He has always shown that with the attitude you have you can have a very big impact on the team. That was evident in this match”, concluded the one who played 7 seasons in the NBA.
