| Friday, December 11, 2009 Final Score: New York 113, New Orleans 96 Hornets Post Game Quotes
On the game: “The Knicks spread attack really got going, their driving game also was difficult to maintain their three-point shooting really opened up and they played very strong in the second half. With all of those things combined they ended up with the win.” “We got to a point where we were having a hard time getting to put the ball into the basket. We made the right plays perhaps but the ball just wouldn’t go in. We did everything but score the ball and that hurt. The combo of the Knicks execution and our scoring is something that ended the game the way it did.”
On the game: “You’ve got to be in the right position. You’ve got to play hard. You have to do it for four quarters. You can’t do it only when you feel like it. You have to do it consistently to be a good team. It’s just something we’ve got to get better at.”
On the game: “It was obvious we couldn’t buy a shot tonight. Our defense was unbelievable. We’ve got to change that. We’ve had a few games where our defense was good. Tonight it was horrible.” Knicks Post Game Quotes
On his team’s effort: “They just hung in there. We had to weather some Stojakovic bombs, we tightened our defense up, and the guys played hard. Then some shots fell for us instead of for them, and I thought that was the difference. ” On defending Chris Paul: “We tried to stay home more. We tried to switch more. Gallo did a great job, and I thought David (Lee) when he switched off did a great job. Just a lot of guys really played great defense. Just a lot of good individual efforts.” On the end of the game: “Everybody hit big shots, one after another. We were moving the ball really well. We’re just playing really well right now. Hopefully, we just keep our heads down and keep on plugging. Chris (Duhon) just keeps getting better, and playing a little more confident.”
On the game: “We get it from a lot of people. Will did a good job. Jared can really shoot it. Al is a pure scorer guy, can do both. David Lee does what he has to do. I helped them out a little bit today. I think Jared and David and all those guys did a great job tonight.” On the win: “We’re definitely back in it. We were definitely in a deep hole, and now we’ve put ourselves back in the opportunity to get into the playoffs which is our goal. For us, we just have to keep going.”
On the game: “We just had to be aggressive. We switched a lot of their pick and rolls. Al’s a great player, he’s going to do it night in and night out. Duhon stepped up and made some big shots as well. We just played together as a team, we executed when we were supposed to, and when it came down to the end of the game, we made big shots.” |
