It was a great defensive effort overall. We had a solid night defensively and that helped keep their score down. We are starting to get things worked out.
They were solid all along. That's what killed us. Defensively, we tried to make them make some mistakes and get some turnovers, but they moved the ball well. Elton Brand was incredible. It seemed like he didn't miss a shot out there.
Tony was great tonight and as solid as he has been all season. The Hornets shot the ball better than we would have liked them to tonight, but overall this was a good win.
They have a solid team. Elton is having a heck of a year. He hurt us last time, so we decided to come after him. We made it difficult for him tonight.
Everybody came on. I'm not surprised, but pleased with the focus. Even with the score, they didn't want a letdown. They came in and played hard. Everybody understands. From one (minute) to 48, they did it the right way. All-in-all it was a very solid game.
We did a pretty solid job on defense. We got in the passing lanes, got some steals.
I'm just trying to find ways to be more effective right now. I am trying to get a spring back in my step. I am trying to attack the offensive boards and do whatever it takes to get going.
It was just a long night. Things happen, the season happens. Those guys played well tonight; give them credit, ... We compounded them playing well with myself playing very, very badly.
It was great to have him back on the floor. It has been tough for him to not be out there. He is going to get back into it.
On behalf of the Spurs organization and my teammates, I'd like to thank you for your continued support year in and year out. We've had some good times and we'd like to bring another championship back to San Antonio.
Not only does he have an impact directly, but I think it's filtered through the team.
I made a shot or two early, and my confidence kind of blossomed from there. I just kind of held it throughout the game.
I haven't been around him in so long, not for anything other than our paths just haven't crossed. It was great to have some time ... and talk about old times.
It was a good night all around. We moved the ball well. We got a lot of guys a lot of minutes.
