QUOTES



Don Nelson

On tonight's game
“Well we finally put a whole game together. Played two good halfs, and I thought Matt Barnes is a guy who really started and finished it. He just had an unbelievable game. Great energy, just pretty close to perfect and everybody else played pretty well.”

On Patrick O'Bryant
“Best game that he’s played – no question about it. A couple guys gave him some nice passes, but he was active and used his length and looked like a player tonight. He got an opportunity. I haven’t played him that much.”

On defending Kris Caman
“We were double teaming Kaman and trying to get some turnovers from him, but he still had a lot of free throws. We didn’t want to get him going. We didn’t think we could guard him one on one so we trapped him almost everytime he got the ball.”

On Baron Davis
“Baron wasn’t playoff sharp, but he was a good player. It was really the other guys; all the other horses pulled the cart tonight.”

On ending the losing streak
“The pressure mounts the longer these streaks go. Actually, we haven’t played terribly, but tonight we put the whole thing together and I was pretty proud of those players out there, they did a good job tonight.”



Patrick O'Bryant
On picking up the first win of the season
"We've been playing hard, but we haven't been able to get over the hump. Now we got it, so it takes a lot of pressure off. It's all downhill from here."

On his performance
"I got a great opportunity with (Andris Biedrins) getting in some early foul trouble and so I had to take advantage of it and it worked out for the best."

On receiving a standing ovation
"It felt great. I haven't had that since college. It feels pretty good at this level, too."



Andris Biedrins
On making his free throws
"It's a confidence thing. I was really working this summer, playing with my national team and I was shooting a lot of free throws there and now the main thing is I gained my confidence on the line. It's just easier to make those showts now."
