| Suns Forward Grant Hill
(On how they have played as of late)
“I guess it gets to a point where you are who you are. We’re off tomorrow and then get ready for Cleveland and LeBron and we will be well rested.”
(On the game)
“I can’t get into the particulars of the game. They play well in this building and [Thaddeus] Young got going. [Marreese] Speights is certainly a good player. A two-point lead went to six. Next thing you know, we’re down 15. Our second unit came in and did a great job and fought.”

(On what went wrong tonight)
“I think our energy tonight is what got us down. I think for the most part we played decent. Sometimes it’s just tough getting those wins on a back-to-back.”
(On the Sixers’ play tonight)
“They played well. They definitely came out and raised the intensity. We fired back, we hung in there. We had a chance in the fourth quarter to fight back and get that win, but we just couldn’t do it.”

| Sixers Head Coach Tony DiLeo
“Well, another good win for us. We’re trying to build and that was some momentum that we can build on. We knew they played last night so we wanted to come out and run and hopefully wear them down and I think we did a good job of that. We have three players scoring 20 points. Of course Marreese (Speights) and Thad (Young) were great tonight. Obviously, we’re happy with the win. We know we have one more before the break coming up, so we’re going to start concentrating on that one.”
(On the Sixers’ offense)
“Our team is so unselfish and if one player has it going, they like to go to that player. Marreese Speights was hot tonight, the other game Willie (Green) was hot. Sometimes it’s Lou (Williams), sometimes it’s Andre Iguodala. The team is so unselfish. If somebody gets it going we try to get them some plays for them to get more shots. Thad (Young) and Marreese (Speights) tonight were really going pretty good and we tried to get them some good opportunities.”

“When your winning, it’s always fun. So we definitely had a great time out there. Everybody just wanted to get to win and try to get to the next game.”
(On breaking out of his shooting slump tonight)
“I’ve been watching a lot of game tape, a lot of clips and stuff like that on my shot. I’ve been going to the gym and just working on it. It definitely feels good to go out there and have a good one.”
