Ruben Patterson Game Quotations

He had a long game last night, and I think he showed he was a little tired in the second half.

I was disappointed. I had played so well for the team since (being acquired Feb. 23). I was like, 'Why didn't (Karl) play me in the second half?' But the game was going in another direction. I'm not mad.

Every time he got the ball we doubled him. He was frustrated, and that was a good game plan.

He's the type of guy who doesn't like to play physical, so I tried to deny him, take the ball out of his hands. He was frustrated. Every time he got the ball we were doubling him. We took him out of his game, so that was a good game plan.

They executed their offense real well. We were in the game into the fourth quarter, but they hit some big shots at the end of the game.

He also had to guard me. I think that since they played a tough game last night (against Phoenix), fatigue may have set in. But hey, we all got to go through that. It's nice to get the win.
