Fournier on getting out of shooting slump: “To be honest, it wasn’t a shooting slump. It was a very small sample. When you come off the bench, you don’t know how the game is going to go. I never felt like I was in a shooting slump to be honest.” – 5:29 PM

Fournier on Bam’s game-winning 3, which was his fourth 3-pointer of the season: “Basketball, bro. It is what it is.” Said Detroit was in too deep a hole early – 5:29 PM

Williams on Fournier: “We didn’t know (what we’d get when he got here) because he didn’t play that much in the last couple years.” Said he watched him a ton of Orlando and called him a big shot-maker. – 5:25 PM

Fournier steals the ball, Cade barely misses a jumper for the lead … and then Bam hits a DEEP 3 for game.
Knew it was good as soon as it left his hand.
Pistons fall to Miami, 104-101. – 5:14 PM

Fournier gets a 3 to fall right in front of the Pistons’ bench. He tried another from the other corner and the ball hit the camera on top of the shot clock. – 7:33 PM

Omari Sanfoka II: Fournier on Monty: “He’s one of the best teachers I’ve had since I’ve been a pro. He reminds me of the coaches in Europe. Usually in the NBA you install a system and players just play, you don’t have plays.
He’s very detailed, especially defensively.” -via Twitter @omarisankofa

Fred Katz: Donte DiVincenzo is the fourth Knicks player ever to make 200 3-pointers in a season.
He’s pacing to break Evan Fournier’s single-season franchise record. -via Twitter @FredKatz

James Edwards III: Fournier on his leadership and growing with this group: “I’m the oldest guy here, which is kind of crazy. To be honest, it’s hard to jump in a new situation and tell guys what to do.
They don’t have my trust. we don’t know each other. My goal is to help with whatever I can.” -via Twitter @JLEdwardsIII
