Cade: “Its pretty cool that we had the worst streak in franchise history and now we have an opportunity to go have the greatest streak in franchise history … but this is just a product of the work. This isn’t what we were going for, we still have bigger things to go do.”

Asked JB at practice about the challenge of working injured players back in the rotation when the bench has been thriving: “It’s not going to be easy, to be honest with you. I’m hard-pressed to find a guy on our roster who shouldn’t play, or doesn’t deserve to play.”

Duren on winning 10-straight: “It's the work we put in, I think it’s the summer work that we’ve put in. Obviously camaraderie and I think culture, honesty everything plays a part in it. It’s still early in the season, we have a long, long way to go.“

Morning shootaround. Ausar, who’s listed as questionable, is here getting shots up.
Duren is probable, spotted him near the weights. Cade’s questionable and in the back with staff. Not sure if they did on-court work or if they’re just present.

JB said the final shot of the fourth wasn't meant for Daniss, but they wanted him on the floor. Washington took out their outlets and he was ready to shoot. "He’s earned the respect of his teammates and the trust of his teammates and all of his coaches as well."
