I thought this was our best performance of the series. We talked about playing tough, hard-nosed defense tonight to try and close this series out.
More Quotes from Avery Johnson:
We're disappointed with the way we finished the game. Our defense wasn't very good tonight. We gave up 65 points in the second half. We had a lot of things go wrong defensively.Avery Johnson
We couldn't get any space between us and them, and they didn't quit. And then we could only make five of our last eight free throws. Just a very disappointing night.

There is going to come a time here - I don't know when - when we're going to start getting some guys back. And it's going to be very important that those guys get back on the practice court and things will get back to normal. But now isn't the time.

We needed to jump-start him a little, and I'm open to doing whatever works. Now, we just need to get that on a consistent basis. He was intense and wanted to play well. Now we just have to get that same effort and intensity against Cleveland on both ends of the floor.

What a great young player. You turn over No. 6, and there's Tony's No. 9. But he's better, he's quicker, and just a terrific player. He and Timmy (Duncan) just make a great one-two punch. He plays the game the right way. He sticks to what he does very well, and I'm looking forward to coaching him on All-Star weekend.

I've erred on the side of caution in certain situations, like Jerry, who had an inflated knee. Marquis Daniels' neck situation, we're cautious about that for a reason. This particular ankle injury Keith has is not nearly as bad as some of the others.
