Here’s a sample of what the teams said after the game courtesy of the Spurs.
Gregg Popovich
“They’re doing what they can. It’s one of those games. We had more fast break points, we had more second-chance points, we had fewer turnovers, we had more points in the paint, but shot 20 something [percent] from three and they shot 50 [percent] or something like that. Game over. The new NBA,” Gregg Popovich said.
“Zone [defense] always kind of mucks things up,” Collins said. “Especially for teams that move a lot like we do – cut and back doors. We got to work on that. I just tried to be more active like last game, I felt like the last game I could have been around the rim a little more.”
Wes Unseld Jr.
“I remember that stat coming up last year. In ‘99 I was part of the organization as an advanced scout, so I got to own some of that. Every streak comes to an end, so it was good for us to get another road victory. I like the way we were able to accomplish that. Another night where we were high assists, seven guys with double figures,” Unseld Jr. said. “Our defense got progressively better throughout the game, especially in the fourth quarter. You never want to be on the losing end of that streak, but it’s good to get that one off our chest.”
