#Mavs forward Naji Marshall and 12-year-old Marie Gillespy went down to the wire in the final game of Knockout. It was close, but Gillespy came out with win.
The campers couldn’t wait to yell their signature phrase: “1, 2, 3, sit down!”

Asked Naji Marshall about reuniting with his teammates in Las Vegas & his first impression of watching Cooper Flagg:
“It was fun…Cooper’s great…I think he got the jitters out. In the 2nd game, he came back with 30…I’m excited to play with Coop & just look forward to his progression.”

#Mavs forward Naji Marshall, also known as The Knife, wants a new nickname:
“We gotta come up with a new one because that’s corny, no disrespect to (Pelicans coach) Willie (Green). That’s my guy. The Quarterback is nice, but we gotta come up with some options. I’ll leave it to Twitter.”

Anthony Davis was about to head to the locker room after last night’s game but came back to the court to speak to Luka Doncic.
Davis on this moment: “We both were surprised by (the trade) but it was 2 months ago…Just told him good game. He played a hell of a game. It was just a respect thing.”

The Mavs trailed by 3 with 14.7 seconds left when Jaden Hardy was called for this foul:
"I thought I was being held on that last play. Just trying to get myself open, really. It's just kind of hard when somebody's grabbing you & I'm just trying to get space to get separation to start the play."
