It was a playoff atmosphere out there tonight. We were pressing some in the first half and didn't play that well. We picked up the intensity in the second half.
More Quotes from Bruce Bowen:
We thought about the way we played them last time at home, because when you get smacked at home, you don't like that. You go back to the drawing board and figure out what you can do to turn it around.Bruce Bowen
Spurs forward Bruce Bowen echoed Hamilton's assessment of Big Ben's stellar play. When asked on Wednesday who had made the biggest difference for Detroit, Bowen didn't hesitate. I think Ben did, ... The first part of the game, Ben gets a steal, the dunk. That's not how you want to start off a game away from home. That just energizes their team. That picks their team up and makes them more heightened and more hyper.

We had more people distributing the ball in the second half and I was the beneficiary of some of those passes. When we do that, somebody is going to hit the wide-open shot.

It's always a good test when we play them. In their system, if there's 22 seconds left on the shot clock and somebody's open, they're going to shoot it.

I've played against Iverson and with him, so I know a little more on guarding him than Tony does right now. I feel that with my quickness, that if I give him space, I can beat him to the spot on defense.

I think so. Not to disrespect them (Magic), but it's not like you're going up against Phoenix right now. You expect their numbers to be up a little bit, but they scored 54 points in the first half. I don't care how you look at it, that's not defense to our standards.
