Wizards vs Nuggets Postgame Quotes From Coach Brian Keefe, Kyle Kuzma, and Bilal Coulibaly

Coach Brian Keefe

"I thought we were okay at the very beginning but then when adversity hit , we didn't respond to it well. Which we hadn't been doing, so we took a little bit of a step back tonight... in terms of our mindset."

"We did respond in the second half, came out with a little more sense of urgency, Eugene gave us some good minutes there"

[First impressions on testing out the new rotations] "I thought our rotations were fine. I think the whole group just struggled to find collectively the mental toughness to fight through some of the adversities that we found tonight"

Kyle Kuzma

[On having Bilal in the starting line up] "[It feels] Different for sure. Obviously the plan is to see Bilal up there, me, Deni, having 3 guys out there that can switch... that's the vision"

"It's definitely frustrating, obviously today and how we came out and competed as a unit , knowing that this is an important time for us to build those good habits and try to have something click for us next season because we're not going to the playoffs so it's all about those habits that will help us next season"

Bilal Coulibaly

[What are you hoping to achieve in this starting line up role] "Just being ready... to go against the best player on the opposite team. Just being locked in and doing my job"
