While Udoka may not have been in a good mood after the loss, he pointed out that his players weren't smart enough during the game and made some stupid fouls. He singled out the three-point foul on Derrick Jones Jr., while Dillon admitted his mistake after the game and said he was acting like a rookie third-year player.
