SPURS

Gregg Popovich

"We have a hard time putting together a 48-minute game," Gregg Popovich said. "We saw that when the defense collapsed at the end of the third quarter and into the fourth [quarter]. They [Magic] outscored us in a 10-minute period, 46-20. We've seen it before and we saw it tonight."

Jones

"Lack of communication for us," Jones said. "We were giving them [Magic] wide-open loss so it definitely made it a lot easier for them. Tonight we got to a better start but then it was closing the half. We let them back in the game. 

MAGIC

Head coach Jamahl Mosley

"We were able to string a couple of stops together and guys knocked some shots down," Mosley said. "We understood trusting the pass. Just trusting the process of what we were doing defensively and the defensive rebounding was better." 

Guard Cole Anthony

“On the defensive end [we just] really locked in. [We] kind of started limiting them to one shot, and not just one shot but tough shots," Anthony said. "Then when we were securing that rebound, we were able to get out and run. That’s what sparked our offense.”
