Through three quarters we executed well, but in the fourth quarter we weren't able to sustain that same execution. I give credit to the Clippers' defense. |
We are a different team when we make shots. |
We came back in the third quarter and defended well, and made some shots. In the fourth quarter, they came back to beat us having seven offensive rebounds, I think five of them by David West, which turned the game around. |
We caught L.A. on the end of a trip, and it's easy to catch a team with their energy level down. |
We did a good job forcing turnovers. |
We did a good job of forcing turnovers and that was a big factor in the game. That helped us open a lead in the second quarter. |

We didn't guard him (Davis), we just fouled him is what we did. We put him on the line 20 times. |
We do a rating system and the guy at the top of the list is Dirk. When you put all of the categories together and do the pluses and the minuses, and add and subtract and divide it by minutes played he comes out with a very high number against us. ... People that have hurt you, you try to take out of what they've done well. |
We do not try to slow the game down. We play at a pace that is good for our team. To try and play somebody else's style doesn't make sense for us. A great way to play for us, is a way that will help us win games. |
We don't have the rich tradition that some other teams have. |
We focused on keeping Parker away from the rim, but we couldn't stop his dribble penetration. He did the same stuff, and he was very good. |
We got a much needed win tonight after a tough stretch of games over the last week. We came out with a lot of energy in the second half. |
We had a chance down the stretch. Unfortunately we had a critical turnover, so we didn't give ourselves a chance to shoot the basketball. (Brad) Miller hit a couple big shots for them and after that it's the end of the game. |
We had open shots and we didn't make the shots that we made in the first half. They got in transition and we had some turnovers. |
