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.
game home intensity playing playoff
This was a playoff game for us. The intensity was there for us. This is (inexcusable), playing at home like this. It must change.
continue control four game hopefully needed next washington
Washington needed this game and we needed it as well. Fortunately we got the win. We control our destiny. Hopefully we can continue this in the next four games.
game good job second
We did a good job (in the second half). This is a game we had to have.
extremely game minutes needed played shots took
We didn't make shots at the end of the game when we really needed it. We played extremely well for 36 minutes of the game, but at the end of the game they really took over.
beat blew fairly game half month months open played second team
We were re-evaluating ourselves, that's all. It was a disappointing loss. We beat this team about a month and a half ago, two months ago. ... We played them fairly well through the first half of the game and they blew it open in the second half too much.
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.
close continue games goal teams
I tell you what, we need to be in more close games. It's our goal and we need to continue to show teams that we can close out games and we did it tonight.
foul game plan
That was the game plan - to foul Garnett. We just didn't do it.
game quarter rushed score slow
I rushed it a little bit, the first quarter I did. I have to slow it down, let the game come to me. I know I have to score for this team; that's my job.
game great hanging job last minute team until
Our team did a great job of hanging around until the last minute so when we had to make a 3, we'd be in the game still,
approach biggest effort game high pick
I think you have to. You have to approach it with a sense of urgency, more than ever. This is the biggest game of our season, so we have to come really enthusiastic and pick up our intensity. Give it your all. That's all we want to see happen, that the effort is at a high level.
anchor best game great performance played seen three type
He was our anchor and played the best game I've seen him play in three years here. If we can get that type of performance every night, we'll be in great shape.
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.
