Brett Brown
"The end of a long road trip, five games in seven nights, is always going to be difficult," Brown said. "We're better than we played tonight. They have competed at a far greater level than they did tonight. We will respond. They're a prideful group."
Gorgui Dieng
"We have a young team. Winning is hard in the NBA," Dieng said. "They're learning. Whether you win or lose, just make sure you have the right habits. Tonight was a very bad game for us."
