We dodged a hand grenade at the end of the game. That was a great look and I know he's been making those shots all year long. We feel very fortunate.

We don't take anything for granted. It's been that kind of season.
|
We dug a hole and we were trying to dig our way out (of) the hole the rest of the game. It's frustrating because we did have some opportunities early. Unfortunately our undoing was the first quarter.
|
We dug ourselves into a hole and spent the rest of the game trying to dig ourselves out. We managed to give ourselves a chance in the second half, but the Wizards were able to put together a few scoring runs, and we couldn't stop them.
|
We felt the like the playoffs are our second chance, and guys played like it really meant something to them. My hat is off to them.
|
We fought back after a horrendous first half where we really didn't play with much passion and we really showed signs of being a selfish team. That can't be what our team has to be about. We talked about some things at halftime and our guys really came out and fought and earned one of the toughest wins we've gotten all year long.
|
We got a little lucky and dodged a hand grenade at the end. West got a good look. You have to get lucky and dodge a couple of those.
|
We got ourselves in some holes in the first half and haven't been able to dig out of them. They were playing (at the outset) their game better than we were playing ours.
|
We had a lot of good looks, we just didn't hit the shots.
|
We had a whole scheme set up to double-team him. He goes out of the game, it certainly changes the complexion of the game for their team.
|
We had chances. We created a lot of open looks. We just couldn't take advantage of it.
|
We had one of the best practices we've had in the 21/2 years I've been here. Guys really seemed committed to getting better. Little things like that are good signs. You hope it translates to the games, but you never know.
|
We had some chances down the stretch, but we couldn't string together consecutive scores and stops. That was the story when all is said and done.
|
We had some time but they smothered us. We'll look back and kick ourselves about what could have been, but you've got to give Atlanta credit. They fight hard, they play well, they earned the victories against us.
|
We had the game going pretty well and we were playing good basketball. They made a run at the end of the half and they got the game tied and I thought that gave them a lot of momentum going into the second half. They did a great job of finishing off plays.
