"To be down 20 on the road and come back to win by 20 just shows a lot about our team, our character, our resilience and not giving up. We could have easily gave in, winning Wednesday's game and just giving in to this game. But our guys kept fighting, kept competing. That's what you love to see." - Tyronn Lue on his team’s win over the T-wolves in their game on Friday.
