Each time one of those (milestones) happens you appreciate it more because you know when you look back how much effort went it. I have been really blessed to be in two great situations in Portland and the last seven in Sacramento.
attention detail efficient energy games guys halftime hurting last level offense passing paying playing seven teammates tonight trusting trying
Our energy level tonight was up. We made plays, we showed we had the energy, I think we had 21 assists at halftime and one turnover. Our offense was efficient tonight. We haven't been playing well these last seven games and our offense was the thing hurting us the most. Guys were trying to do everything on their own and we need to get back to trusting our teammates and passing the ball. We weren't paying much attention to detail in these last seven games, but we were better tonight.

If I'm in my last year and things don't work out,
consistent last league saw team year
It's not going to be the same team we saw in there last time. Other than Detroit, they were the most consistent team in the league this year on a game-by-game basis. That's how they got to where they are.
behind fun gratifying last six teams three
It's gratifying to come from where we were, especially the last three weeks. We got back into this thing, and that's a real accomplishment. On Jan. 30, we were behind about six teams that didn't make it. ... This is the fun part. It's a new season, and anything can happen.

We're just mentally different than we were two years ago or even last season.

We definitely caught a break after they had such a hard game last night. It wasn't pretty, but I'll take it.

They played hard down the stretch to make it a two point game and gave ourselves a chance to win. We missed shots and then Nash came back in and controlled the last couple minutes. Those other guys were getting rattled and he came back in and controlled the offensive end.

I thought out guys played hard. We missed ton of shots in the last seven minutes, open shots.

I saw Brent shoot that shot so many times last night, I can't tell you. And I always liked Brent before.
ball effort great last rebound
A great effort that last part of the game, but you get down to the end, you've got to rebound the ball and we didn't rebound the ball.
