Mark Jackson
On tonight's game:
“Spectacular effort in the second half after they (Cavs) had their way offensively. They made shots but we didn’t do anything to stop them. Second half, they shoot 30% from the field. We did a great job of sharing the basketball and taking care of the basketball and rebounding the basketball. Draymond gave us great minutes. We battled. Once again, it showed the character and toughness of this basketball team, so I’m proud of this win.”
On starting the road trip with a win:
“They had everything going. Defensively, we were not as sharp in the first half but we regrouped and came out with a quality win. That’s a team that has a homerun hitter with Kyrie Irving. He got it going. But, just a big win for us and showed a lot of resolve and what we are made of.”
On key moments and big shots by Curry:
“It was certainly a big shot – that’s who Steph is. He’s one of the best in the world. He took it upon himself to make plays and establish a rhythm. I love the way he competed defensively also, but certainly made plays for himself and for everybody else on the floor. He’s a guy that we believe in. We’re not going to tell him to stop shooting. He’s a guy that is having an all-time great year for himself and has put himself in the class of elite players and it’s great to see.”
Draymond Green
On shots made tonight:
“I spent a lot of time in the offseason working on my shot. That was one thing I wanted to improve. One thing I’ve learned is that you have to stay confident in yourself. I know I’ve put the time in to be a better shooter and I have confidence that it’s going to work out regardless of the fact that I was, I think, 0 for 6 at that point. Staying confident was what I knew was key. The ball found me in that situation and I knew I had to step up and knock the shot down.”
On the importance of starting the trip with a win:
“Getting down by 19 isn’t ideal. But, knowing we have the necessary tools to fight back, that’s the most important thing. We knew we had to start this road trip off with a win if we want it to be a successful road trip. With some tough games coming up, we always say that there are games that you are supposed to win and we felt this was a game that we’re supposed to win. It was key that we came in here and got the win. It wasn’t quite in the fashion we wanted to do it, but one thing that we talk about is showing some result. When things aren’t going our way, we have to continue to fight.”
David Lee
On being down big and then coming back:
“It was frustrating because we always talk about when we get up seven or eight, trying to put the other team away, especially a team that’s been struggling a little bit like Cleveland. You don’t want to give teams that have offensive talent like this a chance to get into rhythm and that’s what we let them do in the late first, early second. When they do that, a guy like Kyrie (Irving) can carry them to a victory. You can play great defense and it doesn’t matter. We were lucky we got back in the game early in that third and the rest we were able to take care of.”

Rusty_SFChron: Reserve center Hilton Armstrong just said his goodbyes to the Warriors. He said Ognjen Kuzmic is headed back to the big club.
Notes
- The Warriors did NOT recall Nedovic and Kuzmic for tonight's game.
- Toney Douglas DNP due to food poisoning.
- Kuzmic DNP yesterday with the SCWarriors, but he DID play tonight. So his pinky finger injury must be healed.
What's next?
- The next game is another early afternoon game on New Year's Eve. It's the Magic, a team we simply could not beat last season. On the one hand, I would like to see us finally beat them. But on the other hand, I don't even know if they're the same team as last season. Either way, it's a we-better-win-this.
