environment game home hopefully tough
We're going home now and hopefully that will help. It's a different environment. This (The Palace) is a tough place to play. Hopefully we can get home and we will be able to ante-up for Game 3.
afford cannot couple few fourth happened last minutes slow starting
We're starting off slow (in the fourth quarter). The first couple minutes we just floundered away. It's happened to us the last few nights. We cannot afford to do that.
eight exercise game gotten great job knew nine phoenix pushes three won
We knew we would get our exercise in this game. Phoenix consistently pushes it and we just got outran. We could have won this game if we could have gotten down to eight or nine in the fourth, but they did a great job with (using) the three as a dagger.
determined loved start
We were determined to start off well. Loved it. We need that every night.
bit game shot shots struggled
We struggled in Game 1, and shot a little bit better in Game 2, but not enough. We need to make shots with this team. That's what we do best.
couple create easy excited
We did it a couple years ago with T.J.. I'm excited about that. I think it'll create easy opportunities for us to score.
bug good hit injury persevere quite record talent
We've been hit by the injury bug quite often this year, and it's kind of slowed us down a little bit. We still have a good record (15-11). . . We just have to persevere through it. We have enough talent to still win.
open
We made adjustments to try to get me open in better positions.
game knew lose lost tonight washington
Wow, I didn't know we were up that much. I knew we were up a lot. It's frustrating to lose this game, especially a game we had to have. Washington lost tonight so we could have made up ground.
naturally
Oh, yeah, naturally it's going to be disappointing,
hopefully worked
We'll see what happens. Hopefully we can get something worked out.
hit night open rhythm
We struggled. We had a lot of open looks, but it wasn't our night to hit them. We just never got in a rhythm from the three-point line. But once again, we try not to live by that.
against continue finish four fourth games good needed points quarter quarters row win
We needed a win bad. But we can't continue to play like this. . . . This has been four games in a row now. But I'm going to be positive. It was a good win for us. We needed it bad. I don't know how many points we scored in the fourth quarter (12) but we've got to finish fourth quarters off better. We'll take it. All day long. But we've got to play better against Chicago. Much better.
