Houston 137, Washington 114
Q. What kind of caused the shift at the end of third quarter, because it was tied 76-all and went down.
JARED BUTLER: Obviously Jalen Green got hot, and seemed like was just throwing a rock in the ocean; it was tough.
Q. What makes Jalen Green such a tough guard?
JARED BUTLER: I think his athleticism. I think he's probably improved shooting the ball well. So that's like kind of like a double sword. You know, when he's got his shooting hand, it's tough to guard.
Q. Being a two-way guy, spending your time with the Go-Go, does that make it easier because you've built chemistry with some of the guys, does it make it easier for you to make that transition?
JARED BUTLER: No, because at the end of the day you play with two different teams, and two different teams, two different heart beats. It's actually a little bit tougher for guys to find their rhythm between both teams. You do get the privilege of playing a lot of games, and that's a plus. But you still have two different games, two different heart beats, two different roles a lot of the time, so yeah.
Q. What do you think of Justin's performance on the Wizards so far?
JARED BUTLER: It's great. He's so solid. Catch-and-shoot guy. Just very solid. He's got a toughness about him I like a lot.
Q. Jules Bernard, a guy you probably spent a lot of time with. Do you think he's done enough to make his point that he's worthy of staying in the NBA either in D.C. or elsewhere?
JARED BUTLER: I think so. I think he's, again, another tough guard, a guy that can get downhill, relentless and just tough.
Q. For you, do you think you've done enough to prove to the NBA that you belong here? Obviously two-way is a blessing, but do you think you've done enough to prove that you we long with a standard NBA contract?
JARED BUTLER: I think so, yeah.
Q. Why is that, do you think?
JARED BUTLER: I just think that the way I pass the ball, the way I can get downhill, the way I can guard the ball, is for sure worth a standard NBA job for sure.
