Postgame Quotes from Caron
On tonight’s game:
“We played hard and we were playing through Brandon Jennings. He did a great job of getting going offensively. We ran a lot of sets and pick and roll action with him. It was a great point guard duel with him and John [Wall].”
On not finishing games:
“You just keep chipping away at it. No one is going to feel sorry for you in this game and that’s the nature of the beast. You just got to continue to chip away at it. There’s a lot of positives we can take away from this game and build on.”
On Andre Drummond’s play:
“He’s got to remain aggressive and be assertive out there on offense and defense and understand to build off the momentum at the defensive end. Continue to play hard. He’s one of the most athletically-gifted big men in the game, so he’s just got to continue to run the floor and be energetic.”
