We got some pretty good looks down the stretch, ... They didn't go down for us.
We did a good job of digging in defensively. We just tried to keep them uncomfortable. Try to take them out of their sets and try and take them out a little bit of the things they like to do.
It feels good to finally get one of these close games.
It feels good to be mentioned among the elite players who have ever played the game.
We played hard tonight. Even the last two games that we lost on the road, we played hard. We just did not come through down the stretch of the game. Tonight was no different. We are a physical team and we got after them a little bit. All around, it was a good victory.
I got some pretty good sleep. I'm just so excited. I don't really need much sleep right now.
If this is a formula that's going to carry us the rest of the season, I don't know. It's a pretty good formula for us. We'll see if we can keep it going.
Oh yeah? That's pretty good company -- excellent company.
It is what it is. We came out, gave a good effort. They executed better, knocked down more shots and won the game.
That's a good, astute observation. I wanted the shot. I always want the ball in my hands. They had me covered. I wish I could have gotten a better screen on the play. But Luke had a good look in the corner.
It was a good month. We were able to win more ballgames than we lost. We built ourselves a pretty good cushion going into the following one. Hopefully next month will be just as productive for us.
It's always good to have more rest, in the perfect-case scenario. But I'm willing to do whatever it takes.
It made me feel good, yeah, because we've been through so many wars together. And it feels good to kind of be able to enjoy ... the sweetness of it. And now to be able to move on, for the organization to move on, the city to move on and to focus on building this team, (I) wish him all the best with his team down on South Beach.
It made me feel good. We've been through so many wars together. Now, just be able to move on, try to do the best for this team, wish him the best in South Beach. I think it's good for the city of Los Angeles, good for the NBA, good for the youth, being Martin Luther King Day.
