Michael Redd Tonight Quotations

Starting out fast was key. That was big. We really didn't let them have a run throughout the game. Tonight felt really good. It showed what can happen when we start out fast.

We needed it bad. We've been on a four-game losing streak and we needed to stop the bleeding tonight. Fortunately we did that. By any means necessary tonight we needed a win.

We practiced against each other for several years so it was great to see him tonight and get to play against him. He's a great player and great friend.

Wow, I didn't know we were up that much. I knew we were up a lot. It's frustrating to lose this game, especially a game we had to have. Washington lost tonight so we could have made up ground.

Tonight we just said we needed a win bad. Desperately. Philly is losing. The other teams are losing, and we have to take advantage of this.

I like our future. I like the potential. It's going to be great, ... I want to stay humble, continue to work hard at practice ... staying together in tough times and tonight was the test of tough times, and we passed the test tonight.

It's been positive. It's been all positive. Yesterday was a great day at practice. Tonight we came out aggressive, and if we can continue to keep playing like this, hopefully we can make a run for that fifth seed.

It was great tonight. Toronto tried to take the ball out of my hands early tonight and we moved the ball and made them pay.

That's something I needed tonight to help my confidence. I haven't had a night like that in quite a while. My teammates were finding me.

It's easy to get motivated when we lose three in a row. We were very motivated tonight to win this game. These were two teams that are very hungry, and we got the win.
