Matthews says it wasn’t thought about or planned ahead of time as they were “showing humanity” and they didn’t anticipate the reaction, while preparing to forfeit the game and go down 3-2 in the series. “We didn’t think that this was gonna turn the way that it did, but we are grateful for the fact that, that moment, that pause, that postponement was able to help everybody reflect again and realize that everybody’s gotta step up,” Matthews said.
