Bobby Portis and Joe Ingles were in uniform but did not play while Wesley Matthews played six minutes.

Said Wigginton: “I work on my game every day. That’s what gave me the confidence. My coaches and teammates, they keep me confident. They tell me just to be me. They know I can go out there and do that. It was just another matchup for me. Just going at my defender.”“It’s about getting a rhythm,” Crowder said. “Playing and feeling good going into the postseason. Like I said, I’m taking these two games seriously. Any time I’m on the court, I’m trying to do better.
