We felt like once we made some threes in third quarter, we had to go back to getting the ball inside, get to the free-throw line and get Chris going. |
We forced them into some tough shots and it was just good to get a win at home for a change. |
We go into a zone cause we're in foul trouble and we tell our guys make sure you know where Dirk and Jason are. Look at the tape. We've got guys standing there right in front of them. 'Go out and don't let them shoot the ball,' but young guys can't figure that out, what we're thinking at times. |
We got a good look and there's nothing more you can ask for. We played hard, played well enough to win, we rebounded, we battled to the best that we could. |
We got a lot of wide open looks. I mean, we missed lay-ups, we missed free throws, we missed wide-open threes. We just missed. |
We got back into the game throwing the ball inside and taking the ball to the basket, |
We got beat. We knew those guys were going to play hard playing against an NBA team. They came out to prove something. It doesn't matter who you play or how good you think you are, you've got to come here to play. |
We got it back in the third quarter when we made some shots. We had a run going then we ran out of gas. Then they just made some big shots. |
We had 18 turnovers and it's tough to win that way. |
We hung in there and played hard coming off a back-to-back. |
We just commit silly fouls, they just mount up. Fifty-three free throws one night, forty-whatever tonight, you just can't win. |
We just didn't execute well, we didn't shoot the ball well. |
We just didn't make shots, ... Thirty-nine per cent, it's hard to win. I feel that we're a better shooting basketball team than what we [showed]. They shot 61 per cent in the first half and we're up three. Go figure. |
We just fouled too much and gave up too many points in the paint. In the last few minutes, everything for them seemed to come at the line. |
We just got beat. It's not going to get any easier, either. |
