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.
body good missed
I got a good shot. I should have squared my body up more, but I just missed it.
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.
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.
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.
build business continue good hopefully losing monkey needed push tough winning
It's good to get the monkey off our back; we just needed to get a win. Losing is tough in this business today. Winning is great, and now hopefully we can continue to build on this and try to push for the playoffs.

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.
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.
came carried change coaster game happen lifted momentum nba playing roller
Momentum can change so much in the NBA and if you keep playing things can happen for you. I think the 3-pointer lifted us in the overtime. We had the momentum and we carried it through. The game never stops. We were down and then we came back. It was a roller coaster ride.
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.
jump open shot taking
I was just getting some open shots. I was just taking the jump shot when I had it.
defense gives shots
I was just getting a lot of shots tonight. You take what the defense gives you.
chance game win
It hurts. You play this game for a reason: to get to the playoffs, and give yourself a chance to win a championship. If you're out of the playoffs, you can't win a championship.
