MAVERICKS
(32-19)

127

The Warriors held the lead for the first three and a half quarters of the game, but couldn’t withstand a late Dallas rally in Monday’s 127-117 loss at Oracle Arena. Playing without Corey Maggette, the Warriors got a huge night from Anthony Morrow. In just his second game back after missing the prior three weeks, Morrow had season-highs of 33 points and 11 rebounds, while Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis combined for 52 points and 14 assists in the defeat. The Warriors will now have one day off before playing their final game before All-Star Weekend against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday in a Hardwood Classics contest.

QUOTES



Don Nelson
On tonight's game:
“I don’t know what to tell you with another injury that we didn’t need. We didn’t need any of them. I hope it’s not serious. We’ll see how it looks tomorrow. We played pretty well with a lot of energy. When you can’t afford a turnover we had a ton of them. Some of them I wouldn’t call forced. We tried to get it to the right spots but something always happened. I think fatigue was a factor and that must have caught up with some of them. I thought we played great but turned it over at the wrong time.”


Anthony Morrow
On seeing Monta Ellis go down with injury:
“I was just praying that he was alright, me coming off that knee injury and him having a knee injury like that earlier in his career it was just tough seeing that, so I just wanted to run down there and make sure he was alright. I was glad he got up on his own, I just hope it’s not as bad as it seemed like it was.”

On stepping up with Corey Maggette out:
“I just want to be more aggressive. It just felt good being back on the court, being back around my teammates and being part of the action.”

On his performance:
“I’d rather us win the game then me score however many points. We got a lot of losses piling up but we are still positive and everybody is still upbeat, everybody is playing together and that’s all we can really ask for. We got such a young team, a lot of youth, people are coming to practice and going hard so just trying to fight through the injuries and keep playing together.”


Ronny Turiaf
On seeing Monta Ellis go down with injury:
“If you watch the replay you should see that I pretty much ran as fast Usain Bolt to foul Jason Terry because I was worried about ‘my little general’ so I tried to karate chop Jason Terry so I could run over and check on him (Monta). It’s very unfortunate, and you hope that he’s going to be OK.”

On the strategy vs. Dallas:
“We tried to attack them from the middle of the floor instead of going to the side where everyone could load and play really good help side defense. We did a great job just attacking from the middle and giving the ball to the big guy to finish down low and get the three ball from (Anthony) Morrow and he shared the ball to the ultimate tonight…even on the verge of doing it too much.”
