And that's something that we have to do. We should never question effort."
Schroeder: “Effort is one point we don’t have to teach somebody,” Dennis Schroder said. “We got that; we did that through preseason. We got that. We just got to focus and bring it 48 minutes and not just 36, not 30 minutes. We’ve just got to bring it.”
Udoka: "“For whatever reason, we were lacking in intensity and focus this morning,” he said. “I told them that you’re going to get your ass kicked tonight if you come with that focus in the game, and for three quarters we played the same way. Waited to get down 15 and started to play with the effort that we played in the other four games. It’s disappointing. ... You can’t just pick and choose and think you’re going to beat people.”
