“They are way past that, but (it is) to a certain degree because that’s who they are, especially (Giannis Antetokounmpo),” coach Steve Clifford said Tuesday. “He’s a prideful guy, an incredible competitor. But this is one of 82. They played deep in the playoffs a number of years and when you are around a team like that of veteran guys, it’s not like they’ve circled, ‘Hey they are coming back.’ The best teams play like that every night. That’s what they do.”
