密尔沃基，4月4日(AP) -- 麦克-邓利维星期五晚上有了27分和11个篮板，以及印第安纳步行者因为以105-101打败了密尔沃基雄鹿保存了他们进季后赛的希望。

印第安纳以本次胜利现在以3场比赛落后于占季后赛的最后一位的亚达兰大老鹰。老鹰昨晚以109-104输给费城76人。

特罗伊-墨非得了17分及丹尼-格兰格为在前两个赛季没进季后赛的步行者贡献了13分。杰梅恩-奥尼尔在他从由于疼的左膝而错过33场比赛之后的第3场比赛有了11分和6个失误。

Larry Krystkowiak

(On playing from behind tonight…)
“We couldn’t quite get over the top. They hit a couple of big threes late in the shot clock. There was one by (Mike) Dunleavy and one by (Marquis) Daniels when we did a pretty good job defending for 22 or 23 seconds. Then they hit a three like that and it takes a lot of air out of your sails. We probably missed a few too many free throws and it goes back to our first quarter. We kind of buried ourselves and didn’t come out with the kind of energy that we really needed in the first quarter and got ourselves down eight points. That seemed to be about the deficit we were fighting all night. I would have liked to come out of the locker room with a little more fire and energy.”

(On the Pacers defensive effort tonight…)
“They do a nice job defensively. It’s a team concept. They load up on penetration. I saw more charges probably in the game tonight than I’ve seen all season. We had at least a half a dozen charges. Then they do a nice job of packing the paint on Andrew (Bogut) so you have a hard time doing a whole lot inside and you get a little bit teased to shoot perimeter jump shots, which is that rut that we got in in the first half.”

(On the play of Ramon Sessions tonight...)
“That’s been about four games in-a-row now where he’s played in the thirty minute category. I thought Mo (Williams) and Sessions did a great job distributing. They had 15 assists between them. They did a nice job defending and keeping the ball in front of them. He’s on his way.”

(On the Pacers defensive effort…)
“They do a great job of sinking in and the guys really dig in and try to strip you every time you put the ball on the floor. (Jeff) Foster is a pretty good defender and so is Jermaine O’Neal.”

(On closing out the season strong…)
“I’m trying to use these games as a stepping stone to get better. That’s all the motivation I have individually going into these games is to try to get better as a basketball player.”

(On the Pacers offense tonight…)
“We couldn’t get any breaks. They hit big shot after big shot. You have to tip your hat to them. We D’ed up but once they swung the ball around, the next thing you know they hit a big shot. It was tough for us.”

(On playing more minutes at the end of the year…)
“I’m getting more comfortable the more I’m out there playing and the more minutes I’m getting. I wish we could have got the win.”
