As the NBA regular season continues, the Cavaliers beat the Grizzlies 133-124. Cavaliers player Hunter played 23 minutes, 4 of 6 shooting (including 3 of 5 3-pointers) contributed 18 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, the game plus/minus a high of +11. After the game, Hunter was interviewed by the media to comment on the game.
“We have guys who can step up,” Hunter said. “That’s what makes this team so good. We have a lot of versatile guys who can score offensively and contribute defensively. Mitchell has done a lot for the team, but we can’t rely on just one person to solve the problem. We come into the game with the mindset that no matter what’s going to happen, whether it’s a call or a fan interference, we’re going to go out there and play, and that’s what we’ve been doing.”
“To be honest, I didn’t expect us to have this long winning streak,” Hunter said of the Cavaliers’ 16-game winning streak, the longest in franchise history. When I arrived, the Cavs had lost 10 games. But the team didn’t lose a lot before, and I’m very happy and proud to be part of this team’s winning streak and history.”
