Can Lance be Tamed?

On the keys to his success tonight:
“Being in attack mode, trying to make the right plays, driving and trying to create for others. Mostly trying to win the game.”

On whether he put more emphasis on this game as a former Grizzlies player:
“Oh, no. No, I’m just trying to get back in my groove, trying to help this team win, just trying to work on the little stuff so that everything will come easy. But we just got to keep working, watch film, keep learning each other. I think as we go along, I think we’ll get better as a unit.”

On the last play in regulation:
“I mean, it was a good play. I just felt like we should have slipped and made…not a three-pointer, a two-pointer, made an easier shot. It was tied up, we didn’t need a three. I mean, we are still learning, still learning each other. He never played with me in a clutch moment like that. We’re still gaining a feel for each other. Once the season goes along, I mean, we will be alright…Because we’re playing with a lot of new guys. And we’re being put in moments where it’s tough. We don’t know what we’re going to do. He doesn’t know what I’m going to do; I don’t know what he’s going to do. We’re still learning each other. So as the season goes along, I think we’re going to get to know each other and these possessions like that will come easy.”

On his transition to being a veteran presence on a young team:
“It’s different; it’s tough. It’s very challenging. I always got to be doing the right thing, because everybody’s watching. And I’m not really a vocal person, so I’m learning how to be vocal and helping other guys and being that guy that tries to talk them through it.”
