Suns Head Coach Alvin Gentry

I feel just like Bill Belichick felt last night. I think we were out-coached, we were out-played and we were out-hustled. It’s one of those games where I just didn’t think we played real well. I don’t want to take away anything from the Knicks because I think they played hard. I think they had a good game plan and they made shots. You can see what they’re capable of doing when they’re making shots and their offense flows well. They out-played us but it’s one game. We didn’t play real well and I’m disappointed. It’s not a very good feeling.

Suns Guard Steve Nash

We didn’t play hard tonight, we got out-played, out-hustled – [we] didn’t deserve to win. Maybe we took them [Knicks] a little lightly, but you still have to play hard. They got all the loose balls, offensive rebounds. Obviously they made some shots and you take your hats off when shots are made but it’s all the layups and hustle plays and not getting back on defense that kill you. They just played harder than we did. We’re embarrassed and have to pick ourselves up. Not a whole lot to say tonight.

Knicks Head Coach Mike D'Antoni

Well, if we could bottle this up. As a matter of fact, I didn’t know how to conduct myself the last five minutes. I didn’t know who to put in or when to put them in. It’s been a while. They’re a good team. Again, I’ve told you before we’ve got some problems that we’re just trying to solve ours. We just caught them on one of those nights when they’re flat. It just happens sometimes. The NBA is like that. We played good. I’m happy. We’ll just try and keep it that way. But, does that mean anything. We’ll see going down the road. But, tonight was a good night.

Knicks Guard Danilo Gallinari

My focus is always to be as aggressive as I can. Every game is different, so sometimes it comes out more and sometimes it doesn’t, and tonight was a good night. It’s just being aggressive mentally. When you’re aggressive positive things come out every time. So it’s just being aggressive.
