Tim Duncan Shot Quotations

I don't even know how he got it off, honestly. I think he shot it with his left hand. I went after his right hand, thinking he was going to float it with the time going down like that, but somehow he got it up there and it stayed up there on the rim and went in. It was just a great shot, a great effort by those guys to turn a turnover into a fast-break that quickly and get it to the rim.

I think he has a shot at winning three events at the state meet.

Tony was great tonight and as solid as he has been all season. The Hornets shot the ball better than we would have liked them to tonight, but overall this was a good win.

We didn't have the edge we needed tonight. They shot 50 percent from the floor. We need to shore up our defense right now going into the final few games of the season.

Bruce is always awesome, it doesn't matter who (he's defending), Kobe or anybody else in the league, ... He's going to make them work for every point that they get. ... He was in (Bryant's) face every shot he took.

It was surprising how he shot the ball tonight, but he got in a zone there, got his rhythm down, came off and was real confident with his shot. He had an unbelievable night and he's had an unbelievable year.

It started from horn to horn. We shot the ball well. We moved the ball well. Our defense was solid.

They were solid all along. That's what killed us. Defensively, we tried to make them make some mistakes and get some turnovers, but they moved the ball well. Elton Brand was incredible. It seemed like he didn't miss a shot out there.

I made a shot or two early, and my confidence kind of blossomed from there. I just kind of held it throughout the game.

I didn't know if there was going to be enough time. I turned to shoot and then saw him at last second and tried to fire it to him real quick. I probably should have shot the ball.
