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."

Green on Jenkins: "He’s there every day working on his game, perfecting his craft and doing all of the stay-ready stuff he needs to do … he’s here for a reason and he showed that tonight."

Green: "That’s what we talk about, just having a Detroit mentality and next man up mentality … everybody that stepped on the court contributed. D Jenkins, he had a great game after not playing much this year."

JB said he didn't like how Whitmore's late foul on Cade went down. "When you take a guy out like that, you don't walk up on him." Also didn't like that he got a tech. Said he'll talk to the league

Tough break. Duren's putback dunk that would've tied the game at 133 was recalled due to basket interference. 1:33 to play
