Joe Johnson Took Quotations

When you're going down the stretch like that, every play is valuable when you're coming back. We had turnovers, which took the spirit out of us.

We were relaxed tonight because their two key guys were out. I think we kind of took these guys a little lightly. We don't have no room to take anybody lightly.

When the game is on the line, I'm always the one who wants to take the shot. I took that upon myself. Josh (Smith) set a nice pick, I came off the pick and hit the jumper.

I just missed it. I got a great look at it. Maybe I should have gone for a quick two, but I got a good look at it, so I took it. It felt good coming out of my hands, but it was a little short.

That's the biggie right there. We earned that one. It took everything we had from every guy on this team. But we had to have this one.
