We seemed to have a lot of energy tonight. I gave them (two days) off and they gave me one back by responding with energy and concentration pretty much throughout the whole game. It's pretty rare for us to play that long of a stretch of good basketball.
More Quotes from Avery Johnson:
He really shut down a lot of their penetration. I thought he was the reason we won the game. Hopefully, I can be saying that tonight, Friday, Saturday. I'd like to mention his name on a more consistent basis.Avery Johnson
There was a four- or five-day process when they were on their rooftops, sleeping on roofs and in attics trying to escape, ... Once it hit, you don't have any communication no cellphone, no e-mail, anything with your family. It took five or six days just to find some of my close family. They're OK right now, and we're grateful. Now it's a matter of helping people who are less fortunate than my family.

I don't want our team to misconstrue the message of us trying to get to the next level. We're not going to get there in one night, all right No matter what's been said over the All-Star break or what race we're supposed to be in, it's all meaningless right now.

Obviously, this is a very disappointing loss. We felt we had a chance to win this game, but they executed better than we did down the stretch. We battled, we fought, this was a playoff atmosphere. We wish we would have been able to match their intensity down the stretch, but we didn't. They were in the bounce-back mode and they bounced back.
