Reporter: “Pretty big night from Bogey in his first game back. Did you find it tough to kind of abide by the minutes restriction?”

Williams: “I thought I probably extended him a bit too much, but we’ve got a few days off, so we felt like he could recover. But I just thought the spacing… I ran some stuff down the stretch for him, I think he was a bit gassed at that moment. But I just love having him on the floor, his energy, his feel for the game, his ability to draw fouls, talking on the floor… that’s something that we certainly need.”
