“I knew they were going to double- team, triple-team me. I was missing shots that I would never miss. Shots that I have to take. Shots around the basket. . . . That was their game plan. They want somebody else to beat them.”
Carmelo Anthony
“I just knew I wanted the ball to take the last shot regardless, whether they double-teamed or triple-teamed. I got a good look once I jumped up and rose above the crowd, and I knocked down the shot.”
Paul Pierce
“With Mark Blount at the high post, I don't think teams can double- and triple-team Kevin as much. I think Mark Blount and Eddie (Griffin, the starter) both will give us that two-headed center at the high post that will keep them from sagging off on Kevin.”
Dwane Casey
“We didn't run our offense like we normally do. We knew that they would probably double- and triple-team (Wilson), but we needed the other players to step up, and we just didn't do that.”
Phyllis Jones
“I knew they were going to have their hands full with Kelly. You can double-team her or triple-team her, but she's going to be a hand full. She made some nice moves.”
Kathy Lanter
“There wasn't a clear-cut dominant team in Triple-A this year. Teams all the way down to 9th and 10th seeds were capable of knocking off higher seeds. Unfortunately, we were the ones that got knocked off.”
Tony Chapman
“If I'd made a couple more shots, and Damp hadn't taken away all my rebounds, I'd have had a triple-double.”
