Pau Gasol Great Quotations

Navarro had a difficult start to the game, but he slowly recovered and scored 35 points. But I have to say, Croatia were a great team and you have to feel for them because they lost their cool at the end. It was down to frustration.

Fran Vazquez played a great game, Navarro was outstanding,

I wasn't going to settle. I tried to attack (Duncan). I didn't have a great game but it didn't mean I didn't want to get to the rim.

We wanted to jump on them quick because when you get hit first it's hard to jump back up. It'll be great if we're able to keep this up and go into the playoffs with this confidence we're playing with.

I took it hard to the rim. I knew I had enough time to make a move or even change directions if I had to. I made a tough shot and we got a great win here.

It's really painful for the team to lose Damon. He's been a great leader for us and we'll miss his great finishes down the stretch.
