Scott Skiles Close Quotations

We've lost so many games like this; they've been close games and we're trying to fight to the end, but a play has to be made.

With the exception of Tyson Chandler, we came out flat. The other four starters weren't at that level so the Kings really took it to us. We got it close and then they just turned it on and we didn't have an answer for them.

We got it close and they just turned it on, and we didn't have an answer for it.

We've had so many close games in which we weren't able to make the big plays at the end.

Even though we had it pretty close at the half, they pretty much outplayed us beginning to end.

I'm happy for our guys. You have to always wonder if they're going to get dejected because we've had so many close calls in games where we weren't able to make the big plays. We're starting to come around.

I'm happy for our guys. I always wonder if they are going to get dejected because we've had close losses. We're starting to come around. We've played better in the last month or so and we've won our share of close games. We just need to keep it going.

It has happened to us so many times this season. We didn't make our free throws, and there were an awful lot of odd plays that were right in our hands near the basket but couldn't come up with them. Those will cost you in a close game like this.
