Quinn Cook, Warriors guard:<\/strong> Game 7 of the Western Conference finals against the (Houston) Rockets. 2018. I had missed a big shot in Game 5 and had sent Steph, Kevin (Durant), Klay (Thompson) and Draymond (Green) a message after the game in the middle of the night like: \u201cMy bad.\u201d All those guys were like: \u201cDon\u2019t worry about it. We want you to take that shot.\u201d We won Game 6 and Game 7, and me and Steph were walking back from the trophy presentation on the court to the locker room and I was crying. I know it was just going to the finals; usually you cry when you win the finals. But I\u2019d been through a lot to get to that point. He put his arm around me and was like: \u201cMan, it\u2019s good to see that guys really care.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
