effort helped looked needed
Obviously, it would have helped to have Andrei tonight, there's no question. Defensively, he would have helped us out tremendously. But with or without Andrei, we didn't give the effort that we needed to tonight. They looked like they wanted it, and it just didn't look like we did.
fight game great left move physical seem took
It didn't seem like they had too much fight left in them. It was a physical game and I thought we took it to them. It was a great win, now we move on.
game orleans playing road worry
We've just got to go out and play our game and not worry about it being on the road. You don't look at it like a whole road trip. You look at it as we're playing New Orleans first. Let's get through that game.
care home huge road seems win winning
This was a huge win and we've got to keep it going. It seems like we're winning on the road and we have to take care of our home court.
beginning good spot team tough watch
We didn't come out to play in the beginning of the game, and we didn't come out to play after the first half. It's tough to watch from the bench, and to see your team get down, because you can't spot a good team like this 20 points.
ball biggest luckily lucky man mistakes rather shot stay supposed
We were supposed to stay with our man, but luckily he (Howard) shot the ball after the shot clock. We'd rather be lucky than not, (but) that was a letdown. We made some mistakes down the stretch, but the biggest thing is we got a win.
basketball coach crunch execute fighting good lead playoff says stop
We're fighting for a playoff spot. Coach Sloan says that playoff basketball is crunch time. We need to run a play, execute and get a good shot. It's frustrating to fight the whole game, have a lead and then all of a sudden, we stop doing what we did to get there.
good maybe sacramento streak winning won
We're still alive, we've won two in a row. You never know what happens. We could go on a good winning streak now. Maybe L.A. loses, maybe Sacramento loses, you never know.
body good missed
I got a good shot. I should have squared my body up more, but I just missed it.
biggest mistakes
We made some mistakes down the stretch, but the biggest thing is we got the win.
means playing
He was playing a little more aggressive. If that means a chip, I guess.
good knew missed
When I let it go, I knew it wasn't in. I was kind of surprised. I had a good look. I just missed it.
fourth game start
This is a big loss. This is a winnable game ? and we start off the game kind of poorly, and we didn't get it done in the fourth quarter.
close coming free game jump last missed open overtime shots throws
Coming off last night's game, we really didn't want to go into an overtime game on a back-to-back. We had our chances. We missed free throws and didn't close out on some shooters. You can't give open jump shots coming down the stretch.
