What They’re Saying

“We definitely encouraged pace and throw aheads and getting out early. And we knew they struggled with transition defense, so we knew if we get stops and rebound the ball, we can go score and get early easy baskets.” -Head Coach D.J. Bakker

“Dave Nwaba, he did a terrific job. He was the last guy in camp with the Thunder and he got cut. And I think he took that personal, and I think you could tell. 14 rebounds, 35 points, 5 assists, and his defense was off the charts.” -Head Coach D.J. Bakker

“Defense has been something that’s been tough for us. Defense comes down to have chemistry with your guys and being connected and communicating. That’s the biggest challenge for us. We’re switching these lineups and we’re in the heart of the G-League grind where guys are going to be moving around and you’re playing with different guys. So that trust on defense is something is really important for us and we have to keep building.” -Point Guard Keifer Sykes

What’s Next

The Motor City Cruise and Oklahoma City Blue face off again Saturday night in Detroit at 7p.
