“We’re not satisfied at all. We just got two wins. We need two more against them so we’ve got to stay locked in and try to get the next one in Cleveland.”
Franz’s older brother, Mo Wagner had high praise for his younger brother’s performance. He spoke on Franz’s performance postgame.
“Obviously he’s incredible. His awareness, his control of the game is just great. He started off the game distributing the ball and let the game come to him. I’ve got to drive home with him so I want to keep it in check. I don’t want to exaggerate here, but that was one of the best games I’ve seen him play.”
