“We just got annihilated. We had one quarter in which we executed and that was the second quarter. When we don't execute our offense, we don't get anything. We were just running around out there.”
Jerry Sloan
“Even when we had a one-point lead (later in the fourth quarter), we don't execute. We're taking shots we don't need to take. I'm sorry, maybe it's unkind, but I can't stand it.”
Ed Patrick
“Perfect throw, right on the money. It all boils down to execution. When you execute, that's the result.”
Curtis Baham
“They made a big run. And when we got it down to a one-possession game, we couldn't execute.”
Kris Stewart
“At one level this is a very technical, dry case about when deference is owed (to an executive interpretation of federal law). But Kennedy is trying to rise above the technicalities to make a point about executive overreaching. Kennedy likes to remind people of the big picture.”
Vikram Amar
“We are playing as a team and executing very good. We just executed so well. In the fourth quarter we kind of lost our concentration.”
Andrei Kirilenko
“We executed when we needed to. We scored one more than they did.”
