Michael Redd Tonight Quotations

Wow, I didn't know we were up that much. I knew we were up a lot. It's frustrating to lose this game, especially a game we had to have. Washington lost tonight so we could have made up ground.

Starting out fast was key. That was big. We really didn't let them have a run throughout the game. Tonight felt really good. It showed what can happen when we start out fast.

We needed it bad. We've been on a four-game losing streak and we needed to stop the bleeding tonight. Fortunately we did that. By any means necessary tonight we needed a win.

We practiced against each other for several years so it was great to see him tonight and get to play against him. He's a great player and great friend.

Tonight we just said we needed a win bad. Desperately. Philly is losing. The other teams are losing, and we have to take advantage of this.

It's easy to get motivated when we lose three in a row. We were very motivated tonight to win this game. These were two teams that are very hungry, and we got the win.

It's been positive. It's been all positive. Yesterday was a great day at practice. Tonight we came out aggressive, and if we can continue to keep playing like this, hopefully we can make a run for that fifth seed.

That's something I needed tonight to help my confidence. I haven't had a night like that in quite a while. My teammates were finding me.

It was great tonight. Toronto tried to take the ball out of my hands early tonight and we moved the ball and made them pay.

I like our future. I like the potential. It's going to be great, ... I want to stay humble, continue to work hard at practice ... staying together in tough times and tonight was the test of tough times, and we passed the test tonight.
