"They don't understand the magnitude of that," DeRozan said. "You know what I mean. Think about it. If we lost, we got to live with that, and in here, that whole narrative, you know what I mean? You know the amount of games I've been in. Obviously, stuff with him, it's like, you know, the moment."

"So, it came down to that moment, and at the same time, I'm glad it went that way because it made it more exciting for the people."
