Mark Jackson
On the win:
"It was a combination of teams missing shots but mostly our defense. We are making good teams work. It’s been a great spot for us."
On Curry's injury:
"It’s a tough, unfortunate injury. I have guys that I believe in. Versatility showed, Andre showed how important he is, comfortable and moving over handling the basketball and facilitating our offense. Hopefully stuff will be fine and we continue to march on."
On the bench's effort:
"I thought our bench was huge - scoring, rebounding and defending. Guys came in and gave great minutes and it was a thing of beauty. Harrison (Barnes) was very good for his first game, gave us scoring bunch of the bench made a huge pass to Moe for an open three. It was a good win for us, against a team that other than one night had been playing very, very well."
On Klay's shooting performance:
"Matter of time for that. I don’t think he played particularly well before that. It had nothing to do with his shooting. Challenged him at halftime and he is an incredible shooter and I think he had a spectacular second half."
On Harrison Barnes:
"He’s a scorer and I want him to be in attack mode. I don’t want him to be frustrated when he’s missing shots. But I want him to be in attack mode and he really was tonight and it shows how much better we can be with him coming in from on the bench."
Klay Thompson
On his tough shooting in the first half:
"You can’t worry about it. As a shooter you have to be a continuous player. Whether you make it or miss the last shot, you just can’t think about it. You’ve just got to let it fly."
On what triggers a scoring outburst like his fourth quarter:
"When you see three or four go in in a row, especially from the three-point line and you get an open look, you’re just in a certain flow. You just don’t even think about it, just let it go."
On what Mark Jackson told him at halftime:
"He just told me to wake up and that’s not the player he knows. And try to do it on both ends."
Stephen Curry
On his injury:
"It’s fine. I was going to try and force and get back out there but you’ve got to be smart long term about this being a nagging thing down the road. Especially when guys are playing well. That’s why we’re so deep. I’m back here in the locker room and we go on a huge run. It’s a good problem to have when you have so much talent. Everybody can step up at any given time."
On the bench:
"Our bench really took advantage of theirs tonight. I think they were shooting 60-something percent in the first quarter, and then in the second quarter the second group comes in and goes on a huge run and gets a lot of stops. They got good shots on the other end and gave us the lead back and then we come back in and try to capitalize on it."
David Lee
On the bench tonight:
"Our bench did a great job tonight. Mo Speights, Jermaine O’Neal, Draymond Green. Guys came in and gave great minutes. Harrison Barnes coming back for us was huge. Our bench was one of the big reasons why we got this victory tonight on the road."
On the Timberwolves:
"They were really gritty tonight. The Wolves, their strength inside between Pekovic and Love and some of their other guys, they’re very strong inside so they did a good job of being tough on the glass and finishing tough on the other end."
Notes
- Stephen Curry hurting his right knee and then spraining his left ankle were two SEPARATE incidents. The right knee was caused by Ricky Rubio holding his leg. The left ankle sprain happened when he landed on Kevin Love's foot.
- Next day update: MRIs say the original bone bruise diagnosis (not ankle sprain) was correct.
What's next?
- We'll see if Stephen Curry really is ready to play by Friday. All this "probably" talk could be strategic smokescreens for the Spurs' scouts.
