"There's nights like tonight where we're right in the game and we just come out of the wrong end. But I think with experience and learning from those games, that's when, two, three four years from now, in those late-game situations, you understand how to come out with a win. Obviously, Denver is a lot more experienced than we are, and they showed that tonight." - Mark Daigneault after their loss against the Nuggets on Sunday night.

 

 

"It's great when you can win ugly. I give our guys their credit. We didn't play our best basketball in the first half, but we were able to get ourselves together and play better in the second half." - Wes Unseld Jr. on his team’s win against the Magic on Sunday night.
