Jerry Sloan Win Quotations

This win keeps us alive a little bit longer. Without this win, we would be dead.

Fortunately Andrei made a couple of big plays to win the ballgame.

I think it's been pretty good for most of our guys here because they got a chance to play some. They're not playing garbage minutes. We're trying to win ballgames with them.

We just couldn't do anything with them in overtime. I can understand guys missing shots, but I don't understand not being able to block them off the boards and give them second shots while we're trying to win a ballgame. They got to the free-throw line and we didn't. That was the difference in the game.

Well, we're still alive and that's the important thing, the games mean something. It's not like you just throw it out there and you don't care whether you win or lose.

We had a lot of things we didn't do well. There was too much ducking our heads and going one-on-one. We're not going to win that way.

We gave them everything they needed to get their game going and win the ballgame. They came up and put the pressure on us, and we turned the ball over a little bit, and then we got real casual. There was no execution.

We gave (Sacramento) everything they needed to get their game going and win the ball game. I took the timeout with four minutes left in the fourth because I felt like the guys that were in just weren't going to get the job done.

I understand guys missing shots and that sort of thing. But I don't understand not being able to block them off the boards and give them second shots right when we're trying to win a ballgame.

It's tough on Jeff. He's trying to win and doing everything he can. You wonder what's going to happen to you next.

The games mean still something. It's not like you just throw (the ball) out there and you don't care if you win or lose.
