I thought we definitely started off sloppy. It took us a while for whatever reason. We played a heck of a game and fought back. We battled shot for shot.

We were flat, really flat. They didn't let us have a response. We just couldn't find our rhythm. I don't think it's anything extraordinary. It's just one of those nights that's out of 82 (games). We just have to forget it, as long as it doesn't happen too often.

I don't know what it is with us and triple-overtime games. We don't get overtime pay, so we might as well win it in regulation.

We played as hard as we can, but it just didn't work out. That's about all they let us say.

We've been flirting with this for a while and this time it bit us. Yeah, they shot the ball well, but everybody is against us lately. We have to be more careful. We're running out of steam and now we have to find some second energy and gut this out a little bit.

That happens sometimes, and there's no real reason for it. This was more like us.
