From Xavier Johnson's postgame comments to the press:
"To be honest, it really didn’t feel like a rivalry. I really don’t know. But I guess it’s a rivalry so I’ll treat it like a rivalry."
I later commented to Johnson that it seemed like there was some testiness between the two teams and if he thought there would be some genuine dislike the next time they met.
"They’re a team that, they foul the whole time and the refs don’t call it, that’s just their play style. So I really don’t treat it as a rivalry."
