AARON BROOKS Game Quotes:

They played a great game. They did exactly what we thought there were going to do. They switched a lot of things. That one part of the game it got away from us when we were trying to climb out of the hole. Give them credit, they made shots when they needed to. When we went on a run they (responded) and that’s just the way some games go.

Just because you’re playing hard doesn’t mean they don’t hit shots. Joe Johnson did a great job and made some tough shots in isolation. When they went on a run in the second quarter that really hurt us. We tried to battle back and they’d always hit a big shot.

Games like that happen. We’re all veterans here and have been in the league long enough to know that you’re going to go through slumps like this but you have to keep fighting and that’s what we’re going to continue to do. We’re not going to stop. It’s time to get ready and try to get back on track.
