Keith Smart
On Playing Monta Ellis 44 Minutes:
"I wanted to play him a lot of minutes tonight. We have a day off before we start playing again. Some nights you’re going to have to try and play because your close in a game to win it, you got to make sure these guys can play 45 minutes being fatigued and this is all part of the training camp."
Monta Ellis
On Tonight's Game:
"It was good. I mean we could have made some more plays but it happens like that some times. I think we played great, excellent on the road. Phoenix has been a great team, they made shots at the end and we can’t do nothing about it, we gave it our all, left it all on the court and did everything coach asked us to do."

On Changes To The Team:
"We have two different teams and that’s from the coaches down to the players. We got new coaches and we got new players. So, we got players who like to play defense, who can play defense and that’s our main goal: that’s playing defense because we can score on the other end we just got to stop people on this end."
Stephen Curry
On The Team's Poor Shooting:
"Very uncharacteristic for us to shoot the ball that poorly, but I think our defense is so much improved that we’re still in the game to win at the end. Some guys were very off tonight and we had a couple foul-trouble issues, but we were right there at the end to almost get the win on the road so you got to like where you’re at right now."

On Coming Back In The Second Half:
"I think we really found some things that we liked in the second half to get our offense back going and we played pretty good defense down the stretch and we out-rebounded them, which we haven’t done in a while. Even though it’s a loss you got to like where we are at."

Notes

- Reggie Williams DNP again on the groin injury. Current injury list: Reggie - groin, Amundson - finger, Udoh - wrist.
- No change in training camp invitees or that 15th spot. Aaron Miles and Jeff Adrien are still playing well enough to hang around.
