Postgame Quotes from warriors.com recap

Don Nelson
On tonight's game:
"We knew that they were good and that we would have to play at a really high rate, but we didn't. We didn't play very well. It's obvious that you can struggle when you can come back from an injury. I think that Monta's shot wasn't quite right. Curry had another rookie night with 10 turnovers and that kind of surprised me. We went from one of our best efforts to one of our worst, and I think that Utah had quite a bit to do with that. Deron Williams is not only their [best] offensive player, but he's also a fine defender. He really bothered our rookie point guard, which is understandable. So, we'll lick our wounds, go to practice tomorrow, and then we'll play Sunday."

On what Utah did offensively:
"They ran their offense like a textbook. I think that they put the extra shooter on the floor when our game plan was to clog the paint and be active with our hands on steals. That opened up that 16-17 footer and they made every one of them. That took us out of our game plan and we weren't very good at adjusting,"

C.J. Watson
On tonight's game:
"Coming off a big game like we did, and then coming out here and having a disappointing loss like this pretty much hurts, especially at home in front of your fans, so we just have to pick it up and get another win Sunday."

On Monta Ellis:
"He was pretty healthy, we just couldn't make any shots tonight and the ball just didn't fall right."

On Utah's defense:
"We turned the ball over a lot, they played pretty good defense. They were contesting every shot, running us off the three point, and we just couldn't make any shots inside the paint."

Anthony Morrow
On tonight's game:
"I just think we were a little flat. We just need to have a little more energy going down the stretch in the second quarter. But overall I just think we need to come back and regroup tomorrow in practice and get ready for Atlanta on Sunday"

On the Late Comeback:
"We kept fighting. All the guys were really playing hard in the 4th quarter and they really brought us back so I take my hat of to them. We were never going to stop playing hard, those guys did a good job."

On Monta Ellis:
"Teams are going to game plan against him. He's just getting his legs back, his first game back, so we know when he gets back right we're going to come out here and just play around him and let him do his thing like we always do.

My Notebook

- During pregame, Don Nelson said that the minutes of Monta and a couple other players will be reduced later in the season.
- There's no projected timetable for Raja Bell's return right now.

What's next?

- Practice tomorrow, and then the homestand continues as Hawks come into town. This will be an EARLIER THAN USUAL 5:00pm start. This is also a national TV game, ESPN.
