Postgame Quotes: Timberwolves 113, Pacers 110 (2 OT)
 |
“I thought our guys competed well. We had a sloppy, poor first half. It was night and day in the second half. In the first half we weren’t ball tough and we turned it over too many times and had too many turnovers in the second quarter."
"I think Ike (Diogu) and David (Harrison) did a solid job. This is everybody’s time to compete for playing time.”
 |
(On being down so many points) "We should have never gotten into that position. Ike and I gave up some buckets in the middle that helped them and we shouldn’t have. But we hung tough."
" We logged a lot of time on the floor tonight and that means a lot of tired bodies.”
 |
“Competing at a high level is what let us back in the game and we gave ourselves a chance to win. "
"Guys are competing, fighting and clawing and this is the type of team that you’ll see every night.”
 |
“There is nothing worse than overtime in exhibition. For us it’s great. I have a lot of young guys."
(On Chris Richard) "He just grew up right there. What a better way than in a tight game to see a rookie in a tight position. Tonight was the first night in the fourth (quarter) I didn’t use all young guys. We had three options and they took two. He got fatigued and had some cramping. I didn’t play in Conseco, but I’d like to. I love this place."
(On what Travis Diener said to him) "He said, ‘Coach I let you guys off the hook.’ That guy, he can play."
(On Harrison pushing him) "I’ll probably feel it in the morning.”
 |
(On being called in after sitting for 52 minutes) "I didn’t see it coming, but I’m used to it. I’m ready to play. We just want to win."
(On his tip-in) "I just had to try and get my hand on it. I’m ready at all times.”
