Josh Howard Good Quotations

We had some good looks. Guys were finding each other, we were just playing great Mavericks basketball. We came out and put them away early.

It's always good to win, no matter how you get it. It's tough to get back into the mindset after almost a week off.

It's a pretty bad one. We have to turn this thing around if we want to have a good showing in the playoffs.

This was a tough game. These are the hardest games when you come off a break. We're getting back into the swing of things. Guys went out and had a good vacation, but it's always good to get a win no matter how we get it.

It wouldn't have been a good feeling because we wouldn't be able to get into the gym tomorrow and get that bad taste out of our mouths.

It's a big motivator. We've been a good defensive team and don't want to let that happen again. We're conscious of who can score the ball on the other team. We take that as a personal challenge.

We're going to take the win no matter what. It was a good win for us and it kept the streak alive.

As long as we've got a team of guys that like being around each other, on and off the court, it's a good thing for us. I mean, we can take this thing to another level.

It's big when you hit free throws. That's a free opportunity to get points so you want to take that opportunity and run with it. That's a good job for us to make that high a percent.
