Kevin Garnett Played Quotations

Our inspiration was coming out and knowing how we played against them in (California). We didn't play our best game, and we were more enthused than anything to get a little payback, if you want to call it that. The fourth quarter was a lot more energetic.

We weren't able to do anything on the offensive end that we were doing in the first half. We were not spacing and moving correctly and we weren't able to figure out what they are doing. They played well when they had to.

We knew that if we came in here and played around or didn't play with the right mind set, we were going to get blown out. We came in and took some of their 3-pointers away.

Tonight's win was great. It was a win we definitely needed. For the most part we all played together. We played aggressively. The defense was probably what won the game for us.

They played well when they had to. Paul Pierce is the best in the business when it comes to hitting fourth-quarter shots.

It's a great start, everything I anticipated. He was Ricky Davis tonight. He played great D. You know you're getting a high-energy player.

He's the coach. I do what the coach tells me. I can't even remember the last time I played 24 minutes. My knees are thanking Case at this point.

This is a huge win. We needed it more than they did and went out and played that way.
