What Went Right

George Karl: "They didn't hurt us with the rebound, which is two of their strengths are rebounding and free throws and I think we won both of those things … They made some shots in that fourth quarter going to the rim, but I think their forte is getting fouled and making the three and the jump shot more than actually getting to the rim. Cuz took away that and forced them into some bad possessions because of it. And then of course, I think we stopped them the last eight, maybe nine possessions, which gave us transition, which I think is our most efficient offense."

"I thought Ben [McLemore] came in and made a big hoop, but also got more defensively active on the ball … [Rajon] Rondo and Rudy [Gay] and Ben, I think the last three minutes was really, they were confident on the ball, we made good reads, good decisions and shut down some guys who were having pretty good games."

What Went Wrong

Karl: "We force; part of the gig is to get the three ball, you've got to make it, and once you make it the middle might open up. We seem to force the middle, or the short pass, the interior pass. We all do … Quincy made the best read of the night driving one time and threw the ball to someone, I think Ben in the corner for a wide open three. We need to find that shot more … the whole game right now is give up basket, give up three, give up basket, give up three … we have the three ball but we force the basket a little bit too much."

Belinelli: "We've still got a couple mistakes, especially on defense, our transition defense. But we'll be better, we just need to work."

Gay: "They knocked down a lot of tough threes, but it is something we can fix for next time. There's obviously little mistakes that we can work on."

McLemore: "We've just got to limit our turnovers."

What's Next

Karl: "We haven't been on the road much, and I think we all know that it takes a little more to win on the road, but I think the momentum of winning three in a row could be a positive."

Gay: "It's going to be a long road trip. I'm glad we got these three wins going into it because we're playing some tough teams. It's something that we've got to build on."

Belinelli: "It was important for us to win these games, but I think the most important thing is going to come right now because we go on the road for I think 10 days so we're going to play against good team and we need to play better and we need to come back with wins."

McLemore: "I think being here at home for this home stretch kind of helped us prepare ourselves for this upcoming road trip."
