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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

He was playing a little more aggressive. If that means a chip, I guess.
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.
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.
