Bucks Head Coach Scott Skiles: (On the Game) "We played well last night and tonight. We didn't get the win last night but we played hard and our guys really had energy from start to end. We had good ball movement, long stretches of pretty good defense and overall played well. We came out ready to play early in the game and came out at halftime ready to play. We were really, really good defensively the first four or five minutes of each half. We got them in bad positions and forced them to take some bad shots. That allowed us to get out and get our transition game going. Overall, I think we played well". (On Chris-Douglas Roberts) "He played well both games (last night) and did a nice job tonight. A big key to his offensive game is knocking down his perimeter shot. He's been knocking down those shots and showed he can score". Milwaukee Guard John Salmons: (On the Game) "This was definitely an important game for us. We've had a tough schedule with some tough loses. We knew we had to come into this game with a lot of energy and jump out early. We came together as a team and we came together fast with Andrew Bogut out. We didn't realize we were without Andrew until just before we came out for the game. We came together and got focused. We knew we had to win the game regardless and we did that." Milwaukee Guard Chris Douglas-Roberts: (On the Game) "Knowing that Bogut was out we really emphasized energy. We knew how important this game was, we need to win these types of games. I really wanted to increase the lead, I didn't want to give the Nets any hope at all. I'm not hiding it at all, I really wanted to beat these guys like we beat them. Our schedule is easing up a little bit, we've had the toughest in the league so far. We need these games, we need to win them." |
