Mark Jackson
On The Second Quarter's Defensive Effort:
"We did a great job of bouncing back. We gave up 29 points in the first quarter, turned the basketball over, allowed them to get it going in transition and we missed assignments. But I thought our guys did a great job of battling, competing and then regrouping once things were not going our way - second quarter was crucial for us. Just a great job of bouncing back against a team that has been playing well and they have been working extremely hard."
On Klay Thompson's Development:
"I watched him during a workout before the draft and he was by far the best player. The thing I love about him is nothing bothers him, it's absolutely funny - he doesn't care. He's a great shooter, but he's a big time competitor. Underrated defender, underrated defender and it's scary to think just how good he's going to be."
On Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry:
"They're a heck of a tandem. I think what they are doing right now is playing off of one another. They are realizing who has the hot hand and at all times they have been unselfish. From day one those guys look to make plays for one another - almost too much. They're a talented tandem and when they are clicking they are as good as it gets in this league."
Monta Ellis
On Being On A Roll Offensively:
"It just feels good. Shots are going in. Teammates are finding me and just making plays."
On Playing Well Defensively As A Team:
"Really we are just covering each other's back, scrapping and intensity. We are ready to turn this around. I think right now it's a great opportunity for us. We are trying to get back to .500 before we get to the All-Star break and put ourselves in a great position."
David Lee
On Playing Well Defensively:
"Our last two games here we have found our stride. We've had times in the first half where we had done a great job. Tonight we gave up a lot of points in the first quarter but at some point of the game it comes down to locking down on defense. The last two games we've done a great job in the second half of doing that and making a run."
On Living By The 3-Point Shot:
"We've also been attacking the basket. We do have great three point shooters. With guys like Stephen (Curry), Dorell (Wright), Klay (Thompson) and Monta (Ellis), it's not like we don't have guys who are not used to hitting them. We have guys capable of hitting those shots. The most important thing is we're not settling for contested ones. We are taking wide open shots and I trust those guys to hit those shots."
Notes
- Dominic McGuire DNP on a sore left knee. The tweak happened before the @Nuggets game on Thursday.
What's next?
- The first back to back in a while, but at least it will be here at home. It's the Suns, who just polished off the King last night, so they'll be more rested than we will be.
