They're missing three starters, and they played a great game. They played bigger than we did. They worked harder than we did. They deserved to win. They executed better.

Pau played the type of game we have come to expect. He really took it inside early and began hitting the open men after the double(-teams) started coming.

Philadelphia found a way to win the game when (Iverson) went out, and we found a way to lose it.

We just had a continuation of defensive breakdowns. We had nine assists in the game, and that's not good. They really dominated the series.

I am pleased with the way we played. The back three, with the way they worked off the ball, were tremendous.

For the most part, it (the surface) has played relatively fair, but it is getting harder and more frayed and with the cuts in the seams getting laid open, it is getting dangerous.
