太陽總教練Jordan Ott在2026-10-05客場對活塞的賽後記者會上，談到活塞的防守。
他說：「他們的防守強度、他們的打法，跟我們想要的打法非常像。」又說：「不是每支球隊都有這種防守企圖心，但他們整個陣容上上下下都這樣打，這就是我們想成為的樣子。」
英文原句：Their defensive intensity, um how they play, it's very similar to how we want to play.…You know, you not every team plays with this type of defensive intent. Um but they do it up and down the roster and that that's how we want to be.

原話
「他們的防守強度、他們的打法，跟我們想要的打法非常像。還有失誤，是他們逼出了我們的失誤。不是我們不努力，而是他們的壓迫真的讓我們很難受，這是很好的磨練。不是每支球隊都有這種防守企圖心，但他們整個陣容上上下下都這樣打，這就是我們想成為的樣子。」
"Their defensive intensity, um how they play, it's very similar to how we want to play. Um and then the turnovers, you know, their turnover they forced us into turnovers. Um it wasn't like we weren't trying. It was just their pressure really bothered us and that's great reps. You know, you not every team plays with this type of defensive intent. Um but they do it up and down the roster and that that's how we want to be."
