- Hawks coach Quin Snyder emphasized better starts, saying, "We haven't started the game well from an execution standpoint," while Pacers coach Rick Carlisle noted the team faces ongoing challenges requiring complete effort.
- Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard remains optimistic despite recent losses, stating, "The NBA moves quick," while Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu, shooting 25.8% from 3-point range, aims to contribute more moving forward.
