Pistons Head Coach Michael Curry
On Team’s Performance and Play of Amir Johnson:
“I thought our focus and energy was good. In the first half I thought we did a really good job despite missing Amir [Johnson]. He does so much for us as evident, he played three minutes in the first half and they shot 52 percent, he played 20 minutes in the second half and they ended up shooting 41 percent in the game.”

Pistons Forward Antonio McDyess
On Getting 15 Rebounds While Playing with an Injured Rib:
“When I was going for a board, I would just try to tip it out and try to stay protective of my ribs. It was surprising, I try to do everything I can to help the team.”

Pistons Guard Allen Iverson
On His Poor Shooting in Win over Clippers:
“You know you are having a bad shooting game when you hit the game winner and that doesn’t even go in. That’s the top, the worst shooting game that I’ve ever had in my career.”

Clippers Head Coach Mike Dunleavy
On Clippers Guard Eric Gordon:
“Eric played a great game for us. He has learned a lot, playing against guys like Allen Iverson and Rodney Stuckey. I think he has done a great job defensively, not only tonight, every single night no matter who we put him on. It is very rare to get that defensive aggressiveness from a rookie.”

On Clippers Effort Today:
“The guys that we had playing for us did a great job, they played hard. Defensively we did some great things, I thought we had some good offensive production but we missed some free throws and that hurt us.”

Clippers Forward Al Thornton
On Tonight’s loss:
“ We just need a win. It was a tough loss, both on the court and off. Morally it hurts the team, but a win would help rebuild our team chemistry and develop a more winning mentality.”

On Impact of Eric Gordon:
“Eric was hot all night, he played well, it is just too bad his last shot didn’t fall. Things like that happen and a loss is a loss and we can’t carry that through to the next games and come out with a new mindset.

Clippers Center DeAndre Jordan
On Seven game losing streak:
“We come in and treat every game like its something new and come out to play. I just think that we play hard every game and try to get a win every time. With all of the injuries we seem to be dropping like flies, but we try to fight through it and work with what we have.
