Postgame Quotes from warriors.com recap

Don Nelson
On tonight's game:
"We did everything a small team needs to do to win a game tonight except get to the foul line. We didn’t do a good job there; it wasn’t because we didn’t have a desire to do it. The free throw discrepancy was an immense. We didn’t expect to win the rebound game but when you get out rebounded by that many it’s very difficult to win no matter how well you play. Monta (Ellis) had a nightmare night offensively but was he good defensively on Kobe (Bryant) all night. Too bad he couldn’t get some shots to go."

Monta Ellis
On tonight's game:
"It just wasn’t my night tonight. Nothing was going down, nothing at all. I liked the game, I like how we played, shared the ball, gave ourselves a chance to win the game, tie the game. We left it all out on the court tonight. I thought we played well."

On the final play:
"There were three seconds left and I didn’t see anyone else so I just launched the ball. At first I thought it was short, but when it hit the rim and then hit the backboard I was like ‘okay it’s going to go’ but then it went to the left and I was like ‘son of a gun’. But hey it was a great game to me. I liked everything about it, and we played excellent."

Chris Hunter
On his career-high 22 points:
"I just wanted to come and give a good effort and I got a couple of pick and rolls and got a couple of dunks early that got me in the flow."

On Monta Ellis’ shot:
"I knew it was going in, when it took that second bounce and bounced up it looked like the invisible man tipped it out of the way at the last second. It was a good effort and we had two good looks down the stretch to tie it up, but it didn’t fall."
