Mark Jackson
On tonight's win:

“Great win. Absolutely Incredible win for us. Things going against us, they were making shots, making plays, and they had all the momentum. It’s a tied together team and I don’t think you need more evidence. This is a big time win and guys really stepped up and made plays. Jermaine was huge, Mo was huge, Jordan Crawford was big time off the bench, obviously Steph, Draymond, Andre played one of his best games of the year, and Clay was Clay. I hope I’m not forgetting anybody, but I thought it was a big time total team victory.”

“You can, but not at this moment. This is late in the year and I have seen teams say how easy it is to let go of the rope. This is a team that’s not going to do it. Contrary to anything we’re not going to do it. This is a quality win against a team that had everything going their way and I’m just proud of these guys. They deserve the credit. We began to defend at a high level, made multiple plays, we were undersized, but had extra effort plays. If you don’t leave that game as a Coach, as a player drained then something is wrong with you. This was a big time game”

Stephen Curry
On tonight's game:

“It was a good team win. The way it happened, the way they closed out the first half going on that barrage of three pointers. Then, the shots that were made on our end with Klay and Andre [Iguodala] making big daggers to answer their runs, it was an all-around effort. Even what Jordan [Crawford] was able to do for us, keeping us somewhat in the game in the first half and making an impact with his minutes. So, a big time win to start the road trip, obviously, we know where we are in the playoff standings and a big win.”

On what his emotions were after making the game winning shot:

“After J.O. [Jermaine O’Neal] got the block, we knew we would get the last shot so I wanted to make sure that we did. It was kind of a weird play; I thought they were going to trap at half court and I was able to get around it. Then, you look up and you have five seconds to try and figure out how to get a clean shot off. Once I got it off, I missed a couple at the end of regulation and overtime that I thought were good. I just wanted to keep shooting and thankfully it went in. Obviously, at that moment, when you see .01 on the clock, you know you just need one tip and the game is over so you can just enjoy the moment.”

Klay Thompson
On tonight's win:

“These are the wins that feel the best; it’s gut check time at this point in the season with three teams on our heels. Steph Curry played like a monster, Draymond [Green] did all he could to guard Dirk [Nowitzki]. The guy makes some of the toughest shots in the league, and it was a real collective effort. I’m proud of everybody. It was a real team win tonight.”

On how confident he was that the last shot was going in when it left Stephen Curry’s hand:

“First off, he was off balance, but I knew if he got a good look, he was going to make it. He has made four or five of those this year. He has become a real good closer. I have to guard him in practice, so I know what it’s like when he hits those kinds of shots.”

Notes

- No interesting notes tonight.

What's next?

- When we face the Spur tomorrow, they'll have a day of rest while we had to travel. We're not likely to beat them, so as long as no one gets injured, then that's cool.
