Kawhi and T-Lue think you should be on the All-Defensive First Team. What do you think? Kris Dunn: “What do you think?” It doesn’t matter what I think. It seems like it, but you’re the one playing. Kris Dunn: “It doesn’t matter what I think, either. There were times that I felt like I did a well job defensively. But at the end of the day, whoever votes for the award, votes for the award. So I don’t really try to get into that. But I’m very appreciative of my teammates for Kawhi and T-Lue to advocate for me. “I don’t really try to get into that stuff and the voters. I’m just appreciative of the front office, T-Lue and my teammates. They know what I bring to the table. I just try to keep doing it each and every night.”
What would the honor mean to you? Kris Dunn: “It would mean a lot to me. I take pride in defense. Each and every night, I love guarding the best players. It gets my blood going. It just does something for me. So to bring that back home to my family, especially with what we went through in my career, it would be a super honor.”
You and Luka Doncic have had a thing going… Kris Dunn: (Interrupts) “Oh yeah. Absolutely.” What’s up with all of that? What do you make of all that? Dunn: “I think it’s just friendly competition, honestly. He’s a really good player. I know he’s a really good player. So my goal is to make his job hard. He talks smack. Everyone knows that. I love it, honestly. People think I get irritated, but I actually love it.”
What does he say? Kris Dunn: “To be honest, I don’t know. I really don’t know. But I love it, honestly.” He didn’t take kindly to it. From his perspective, he thought you were doing stuff that was crossing the line. Dunn: “Luka said that?” Yeah. Dunn: “I have no idea. If that’s what he wants to go with, that’s fine. There’s things. Whatever. If that’s what he wants go with, then that’s fine.”

Justin Russo: Tyronn Lue, to @BSieman postgame about Kris Dunn: “A winner. Whatever it takes to win. Tonight, he had 16 and 7. Some nights he might have 0 and 0. But the way that he affects the game ... whatever you need him to do, he’s gonna do.”
Joey Linn: Kawhi Leonard says Kris Dunn should be All-Defensive First Team: “He’s been great all year, even last year, I think he for sure should be First Team All-Defense this year. I’m not sure what the requirements are, I know he didn’t make it last year because of minutes or something like that. Hopefully he’s hitting those minutes because he’s for sure gonna get a First Team or Second Team. I think he’s for sure, the way I’ve been seeing him play since last year and this year.”

Justin Russo: Kawhi Leonard, on Kris Dunn: “He’s a tremendous piece for us, comes in every night guarding the best player, doing anything he can to slow them down, and tonight he had 5 steals. He’s making his open shots when he gets them and he’s been playing great.”
