Following the game, Cloud took part in a postgame press conference and addressed the minor fight with Mitchell, saying they are competitors.”
“That’s my dog, Cloud said. “Two competitors. Me and Kelsey have gone at it for years now. We played at AAU together. I have nothing but love for her. You saw us at the end, too; it’s always love. That’s just competitiveness of the game. I love that s**t… But everything’s cool.”
