QUOTES

Don Nelson
On tonight's game:
“That was a remarkable performance by Monta. He didn’t have a great supporting cast, but he fought and kept us in the game and gave us a chance to win. I think everybody picked it up. We got a little smell that maybe there was a win there and he really played well. I thought (Devean) George did a real nice job defensively. We gave up a couple of baskets at the end that Dirk made, but I thought they were tough shots and you know, we got back in the game. So, we had a chance, so I thought the guys did pretty well.”

On defending Dirk late:
“Well I thought George had a chance to play him. He’s played him in practice you know, for a long time and you need to make it as tough as you can on the guy. The guy is a great, great player. We gave support and we double teamed him occasionally in certain areas of the floor. We did a good job in support and you know, he was very willing to move the ball to get it out of double teams. For the most part, I think we played a good solid second half, not necessarily the first half.”

Monta Ellis
On tonight's game:
"It doesn't mean anything to me that it was my career game. I just want to win. I'm not even looking at my career high. I'm looking at what we can do to turn it around."
