“That was the difference. We shot well enough in the first half (51.2 percent) to be up by more than three.”
Mike D'Antoni
“His challenging of shots and blocking shots made a big difference because in the first half, when there was some obvious cases when they were going to have a lay-in, he came through and made it difficult for them to get the shots in the lane.”
Lute Olson
“I laugh, I love, I hope, I try, I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry. And I know you do the same things too, So we're really not that different, me and you.”
Colin Raye
“One big run in the first half was a huge key for them. That was the difference in the game.”
Curt Miller
“I think Pat White was the difference in the first half. He was able to make some big runs, some big plays.”
Rich Rodriguez
“The difference in the game was as simple as rebounding. In the first half we didn't block out. We forced tough shots, but we gave them three or four opportunities. In the second half we owned the defensive glass and that made a difference because we only had to defend for three or four passes and then we forced tough shots and rebounded the ball.”
Russ Bartlett
“I was very pleased with our intensity in the first 10 minutes. The difference in the first half was their transition. Then in the second half, they just took it to us.”
