"We're making a lot of mistakes but every team makes mistakes. We just can't afford to make as many in our situation. We have to be more purposeful. We have to execute better. We have to have better decisions but we can't start out following people around and being soft in the first quarter," Gregg Popovich.
"We started off slow. First-quarter killed us. Got us in a hole and we had to fight out of there. They [Houston] pushed the ball, pushed the pace as we expected," Johnson.
"The last few games we've had some rough starts. We start behind the 8-ball and then got to try to figure it out. Fight back instead of starting out even. We got to change that ASAP," Forbes.
