You have to be perfect against a team like this. \u00a0I thought that we had some guys that played a great game. \u00a0We needed to stay within striking\u00a0distance\u00a0of this team to start the game off and I thought our guys managed to do that. \u00a0Our theme of the game was getting into the paint – transition-wise. \u00a0Regardless of if Denver played the night before, they’re still going to push the pace of this basketball game. \u00a0We kept the game manageable by the time that we got to halftime. \u00a0Denver is a good team…They had some guys make some big play and big shots. \u00a0We had a few too many defensive breakdowns where we gave up too many backdoor cuts. \u00a0That team can do big things and they have guys that can make plays. \u00a0Ty Lawson does a good job of keeping his dribble alive so that you have to overhelp on him. \u00a0I thought that we had a chance to pull this out, but we needed to be pretty close to perfect to do that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Danilo Gallinari on addressing the officials on DeMarcus Cousins’ trash talk:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\nWhen you do trash talking, as long as you don’t disrespect, I’m cool with that. \u00a0But he was disrespecting me, thats why I approached him. \u00a0I never approached nobody who wants to trash talk to me. \u00a0I like that, I love that. \u00a0But that has to be in the respect area. \u00a0If you go out of the respect area, it doesn’t work with me so that’s why I wanted to talk to the ref.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Andre Miller on his fourth quarter:<\/strong><\/p>\nThey had a good run going. \u00a0They started hitting some three’s, started to find a rhythm but we were able to get some offense, force some turnovers and get some easy baskets down the stretch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
