That last possession says a lot about who we are as a team. With 3.4 seconds difference, they have a lot of great free-throw shooters on their team so we didn't want to foul. I just told them, 'we need a stop and if they miss a shot then foul right away.' We did a great job of getting the ball back, and Kevin Martin is fast.
More Quotes from Rick Adelman:
The first 3 12 quarters, I don't know where we were, but we weren't into the game and (the Warriors) pretty much dominated it. I don't have an answer. We just never got it going and they started shooting better and moving the ball better.Rick Adelman
He's been a terrific young guy. He hasn't had an opportunity to play much because he is playing behind veteran guys but we are very high on him. We think he is going to be a player in this league. He is the type of kid who every day he comes to work. He works hard and never gives in. That is a great attitude to have.

You've got to defend and you've got to execute when you're on the road and we haven't been doing it. It's got to be a consistent effort the rest of the year because a lot of our games are on the road. I think we can get there. We have the team. We have the wherewithal within the games to attack people. But we have to finish games.

To say the least, it's gratifying to come from where we were. Those guys in the locker room deserve a lot of credit. They stayed with it. I'm really proud of them and the way they came back and hung together, and now they're in.

We had a great trip. We played consistently, and then came out today and played very well offensively. I just felt that if we could make a few stops and maintain our concentration we could pull away. We have put ourselves in pretty good position going home.

We had open shots, but couldn't make them. They stayed ahead about 15 points and we could never catch up.

Suddenly, at about ten o'clock, a dull thud sounded somewhere far away from us, and simultaneously we saw a small white round cloud about half a mile ahead of us where the shrapnel had exploded. The battle had begun.
