Brian Hill Early Quotations

I can't say enough good things about the bench. I thought early in the game we lacked energy. Guys came in and picked it up for us; picked up our defensive intensity. It was basically the same thing in the second half. We got good shots and good offensive production from our bench.

We didn't come out at the beginning of the game with the mind set that we were going to win this game. We did a better job in the second half, but we dug ourselves a hole early on.

We began looking at our emergency plans on Monday and started early Tuesday.

After going through so much frustration early in the season, to have this success now just makes me so happy for this group of guys. They never gave up.

It's really sad for somebody that young and so early in his professional career. It's obviously devastating for his wife, his family and the Hawks organization.

I'm sure the guys would have liked to have gotten more rest. But if you're thinking that way, you come out and get the job done early and we didn't get the job done early tonight.
