Warriors at Timberwolves: Postgame Interviews (4/4/12) by GoldenStateWarriors
Mark Jackson
On The Win:
"It says a lot about who we are. We're going to battle and compete. This was a big time bounce-back win. We played a team in their building, coming off a tough loss for us. They had everything going for them, up by 20 points. We could have easily folded the tent. Give our guys credit, they bounced back and made plays. The third quarter was huge for us. Our offense was clicking, our defense made plays. We were communicating and battling. Great individual and collective effort."
On Turning The Game Around:
"I think it was a little of both. Coming out of that locker room in the third quart we scored the basketball, got great looks and got stops. We defend and we gave them different looks. Went zone a couple of times. Overall it was a combination of defensive intensity and offensively we executed."
On Stopping Kevin Love:
"You don't stop him, he's a great player. We tried to limit his touches. Fronting a little bit, trapping him, getting the ball out of his hand and forcing other players to beat us. We know he can do it, he's a heck of a player."
Charles Jenkins
On The Winning Shot:
"With eight seconds on the clock and me being as aggressive as possible, one step was all I needed to get to the basket."
On Learning From Coach Jackson:
"It starts with him. He has given me the confidence to make plays in clutch situations and that time I knew with eight seconds left on the shot clock, I had nothing to lose if I made an aggressive move to the basket. So, I was fortunate the basketball went in."
Klay Thompson
On The Win:
"We shared the ball real well and just looked for each other. First half we were just missing shots, easy shots that we usually make and it's going to happen. But, we battled through it. We did a good job battling adversity, we really needed this win."
On Getting This Win With Such A Young Team:
"Every game is a new experience because we're so young and wins like this are going to help us grow. We need wins like this going down the stretch. Charles came up so big for us tonight by making real big plays in the key. It was great for us to come out with this because it's going to help us grow as a team."
Interesting Tweets
gswscribe: TANK WATCH: Let’s presume #Warriors go 2-11 the rest of the way. They’d finish 23-43. In that case, GSW would need at least three of the four scenarios to happen to finish with the 7th-worst record: Toronto to finish 4-7, Detroit to finish 4-9, the Nets to finish 5-6, the Kings to finish 5-7. Of course, if the Warriors gut out too many more wins like they did at Minnesota, their slim chances of getting a top 7 pick and keeping their 1st rounder become even slimmer.
Notes
- No interesting notes to add tonight.
What's next?
- Keep on traveling and rebuild that tank losing streak, starting with another back-to-back on Fri/Sat.
