Rick Adelman Win Quotations

Mike was really terrific again tonight and Brad was good tonight. We really, really needed this win after the last three on the road.

We talked at halftime that this was a dangerous team if you let them get back in it in the third quarter, and that's exactly what we did. We just couldn't stop them in the second half. They shot over 70 percent. You're not going to win very many games giving that up.

I always say that on the road you want to give yourself a chance to win in the fourth quarter.

Our guys did everything but win the game.

That's the type of win you need if you are going to keep something going and get on a roll here. Hopefully we can build on it.

We shot the ball really well. I think if you're making shots, it makes a big difference. We moved the ball well and had 26 assists. It was just a solid win from the start.

We've certainly put ourselves in position to have a great trip. Now we have to do it in Milwaukee on Wednesday. It's a big win for us.

We're going to have to win some games on the road if we're going to get in the playoffs.

We got to win that game. Simple as that.

We struggled playing the game tonight. We didn't pass the ball well, we turned the ball over, you can't win like that. We shot the ball poorly, and our decision-making was bad.

We had a shot to win the game. It just didn't go down for us.

This was a great win for us. We've been struggling, injured, with four games in five nights. But we stayed with it and got it done.

In the second half, we didn't stop them. I have to give my guys credit. We had the chance to put it away. When it was tied with three minutes to go in the game, we didn't do what you have to do to win a game like this. We were impatient and we forced the issue and it cost us the game.

It was a great win for us. We've been struggling. Four games in five nights is tough and our guys stayed with it and got the win. We didn't have some of our people on the bench and we really needed those guys to be consistent.

It's still in our control. We're ahead of them. If we win games, they can't catch us. That's the bottom line. If we don't win games, then we open it up for them to get back in it.

It's a big win for us obviously. They needed a win, too, and any win you can get down the stretch especially on the road. Any road win we can get right now is really huge for us.
