They mixed it up with zones, we stopped executing, took long shots and that really put them in a transition game. Then all of a sudden they got hot. You've got to give them credit. They made shots from all over the floor and came back in that game. Obviously, we were lucky to still come away with the win.
More Quotes from Dirk Nowitzki:
It's about everybody being accountable on the defensive end, and I think he's trying to challenge each one of us. It's a tough time for all of us. We said all year we're capable of winning it all. But we got to prove it every night.Dirk Nowitzki
Dallas can mount a comeback in this series if the 26-year-old German all-star is able to bring out the best in his teammates and thus exploit the Suns' comparatively thin bench. I have to do more on the court that I didn't have to do when Steve was here, ... I want to get my team involved more and more in the future. I think that's something that comes with experience. Hopefully I can be in this position for a couple more years and just get better at it.

It's two disappointing loses but we can't really hang our heads down because we were right there. We had our chances to beat both of them. We know what we need to do. We still have over 20 games left. We have to improve on both ends of the floor. We'll work harder in practice and be there hopefully be there in April, May and June.

Every game (against Memphis this year) was hard fought. I think they are a well-coached team. They're one of the best defensive teams in the league. They can spread the floor with all of their shooters around. That's their strength. They're a tough team to play and a tough team to beat. It's going to be a fun series.

This will be one of the longest trips I've ever taken in my eight years in the NBA. We were focused and I thought me moved the ball around better than we have in a while. Honestly, the Rockets have a lot of guys out, but these kinds of wins don't come easy.

We never make excuses with injures. We would love to have Josh out there. Same with Devin. (But) we should have won the game with the guys that we had.
