Asked Cade about going against Mobley, and if that’s something he thought about: “I knew that would be one of the narratives of the game, but I try not to focus in on that kind of thing too much. I can’t play Evan Mobley’s game, and Evan Mobley can’t play my game better than me.” – 9:00 PM

Casey isn’t surprised by Evan Mobley’s season. “You saw what he’s doing now and he’s still not a finished product. He hasn’t stretched the floor like he will be able to. Strength is a factor, he will grow into his body … he has every skill that you look for in a big man.” – 4:27 PM

They’re going to review that shot clock violation at a later minute. Close with Plumlee appearing to beat the clock on a possession LaMelo Ball threw it off the glass to no one in particular. – 1:58 PM
