Mike Fratello Job Quotations

We've been in a stretch where we would have one good quarter and then one bad quarter. Except for one stretch where Minnesota cut the lead in the fourth, I thought we did a much better job tonight than we've been doing lately.

We did a good job of forcing turnovers and that was a big factor in the game. That helped us open a lead in the second quarter.

I'm proud of the efforts from our guys. They hung in there and the group that was on the floor to finish the game did a really good job for us. I'm really happy for Brian. He made huge shots for us.

I pay attention everyday and try to see where we are. But my approach is that you go out and try to do your job everyday. You're supposed to win games. Anything less than that would be not what I expect of a professional in the NBA. You go out and try to win and where you end up is where you end up. You just have to go from there.

Chucky did a good job tonight because he had no turnovers in the 37 minutes he played. That is a great job for the amount of times he put the ball on the floor. As he continues to get more comfortable in our offense, we'll work more on his defense.
