Jerry Sloan Tougher Quotations

I had said it would be a big disappointment if the team didn't make the playoffs. I'm not sure that we have enough guys that are hungry enough to want to be in the playoffs. The toughness to be able to get there sometimes doesn't show up. I take responsibility for that. That's my job to make them tougher or whatever it takes for them to be able to play.

They were the tougher team mentally all the way around tonight.

In the second half, they played harder and caused us to take tougher shots. We shouldn't have been worn down in the third quarter when they put pressure on us. You have to give them credit. They brought it to us.
