SPURS
Gregg Popovich
"I think they (Pacers) kicked our butts. They deserve credit. I think the only guys on our team were Keldon and Zach who showed consistent, decent play, and competitiveness. They did a good job jumping on us. That's about it."
McDermott
"I think it was one of those games where you got to give them a lot of credit. They made a lot of shots. Part of it was on us. The way we were getting back and giving them those easy ones. I think we need to learn from this one."
