As a veteran player, you hate to be out there in that situation, but tonight was about the other 29 games.
More Quotes from Derek Fisher:
That's the type of personality he has. But he does it in a way that's respectful of his teammates. He's never trying to show someone up.Derek Fisher
I don't know and I guess I've been around too long to say we deserved it when we didn't win. The team that wins oftentimes deserves to win, so you can't take credit away from them for continuing to make plays down the stretch. I'm very proud of the effort of our basketball team that we put out there tonight. It's frustrating because we've been in this position so many times this season.

Warriors point guard Derek Fisher noticed it way back in the preseason. It seemed like every time he jabbed his arm out to hand-check an opposing dribbler on the perimeter, he heard a whistle. More scoring. That's what the league wants, ... Calling those fouls up front leads to more penetration, maybe more free throws. It's one way to get more points on the scoreboard.

That's the key for us. Being able to really tap into this team's scoring potential, figuring out the sets that we have and the offense that we run, how to be more efficient. Against good defensive teams, you can't game in and game out take difficult shots with guys flying at you and having to get into the lane and create your own shots every time.

You see arguably our best player going out there to do everything he can possibly do to win a game even though his ankle is probably still a little bit sore. I hope that it does make the rest of us feel like we have to do something to help.
Derek Fisher
Everybody just looks at his scoring, but as he's developed into that player he is now, a lot of it is just his presence. That helps our team. It gives us energy and gives us aggressiveness, gives us the ability to do certain things out on the floor.
