Mark Jackson
On tonight's game:

“I thought we did a great job against a team that, in all honesty, we are better than. It was a type of game where you can overlook them, they compete, they are well coached but fortunately we came in here and took care of business, we took care of the basketball, we defended again at a high level and I thought our bench was very good once again. A big time win for us and now it’s about going home and taking care of business at home.”

On the end of the road trip:

“I read where if we lost this game then that take away in Indiana. No, you cannot forget how tough it is to win games in this league and you can look and say this is one you should win. We’re looking at games right now where teams are getting drilled. Fortunately we did not fall in love with what we did in Indy and we came in and we took care of business.”

On the defense traveling well:

“Yes again, for the 22nd time we’ve held a team under 40%, that’s getting it done defensively and that’s collectively getting it done. That’s what allows us to be an effective road team because the pride we take on the defensive end and the habits that we’ve established.”

On guys getting to the rim tonight:

“I thought they did a great job of attacking on the offensive end, not settling. We played the first time in a while, we’ve done it in spurts, but we played at the pace we wanted to play at.”

On Rajon Rondo:

“I mean Rondo’s a great player and he’s certainly a guy that you got to highlight when putting together a game plan, but fortunately for us we’ve got different looks to throw at him, we got different individuals that can defend him and we took care of business.”

Klay Thompson
On tonight's game:

“Yeah this win validates last night and we wanted to finish strong and we had a lot of reasons not to as far as back to back playing a hard fought game last night but we responded the best way we could. Especially on the defensive end.”

On the end of a road trip:

“It was huge especially coming into these twenty games. If you want to climb up the rankings in the playoff seeding, you have to treat every game like it’s your last. The West is a dogfight and going into Atlanta feels great.”

David Lee
On the road trip:

“Yea no question, we were sitting at 2-2 after the Toronto loss, which is one we wanted back. We knew we had two games left against Indiana, one of the best home teams, and also against Boston, who has been playing people really tough in this building, so we were lucky to get these two and I’m very happy for our team for putting up two great wins.”

On not having any letdowns:

“It was big for us. The starters really wanted to come out and set the tone tonight and not give the Celtics team any life. They’re a team that if they can gain confidence early it can be a tough team. Guys like Jeff Green and (Brandon) Bass can really get going, we were able to keep them from doing that.”

Notes
