Hawks-Magic Quoteboard

"Yes. I haven't looked at it on film but just watching it has it happened I thought Al (Horford) was all over him and made him take a tough shot. To his credit, he made it." – Budenholzer on final-play defense

“They are a team that forces a lot of turnovers. They are a team you talk about it going into the game that you have to play with the pass, you can’t play going into a crowd. At times we didn’t do that.” – Budenholzer on early turnovers

"I tried to three-quarter him. They threw it in the post. He hits those shots. He did it earlier in the game at he hit tough shots like that. He just hit another one." – Al Horford on final-play defense

“In the first quarter, I felt like we were a little sluggish for whatever reason. I took some not-so-good shots at the beginning of the game. We got it going in the second quarter. After that, we kept fighting.” – Horford on early miscues

"It's tough. We competed. We fought hard. Last year was the same way. They beat us at the buzzer like that." – Horford on losing at buzzer

"I think it was what we were not doing. We didn't move the ball like we usually do. That's the key to our success, getting guys open shots, getting guys good looks and moving the basketball. I think that's why we struggle so much. We know they are a good help team, a good switch team. We've just got to move the ball and stay focused with it." – Paul Millsap on falling behind early

"I looked at it. No, I wasn't. I lost my footing on the way down. I thought there was a little less time than that. Getting an offensive rebound, you want to get the last shot. I tried to put it up there. There were two seconds left. I was a little shocked about that." – Millsap on his last-seconds attempt

"Just not getting over the hump. Just not getting it done. I don't care what it is – offensively, defensively. We just have to get it done. For whatever reason, we have a lot of games that come down to the wire, to the buzzer, lost by one, two, three points. Whatever the situation may be, we just don't get it done." – Millsap on last-second losses

"From where I was standing, it looked like a pretty good shot. I think Al played good defense. He forced him into a long fade-away jump shot. You tip your hat to them at the end of the day. Great shot by them. Obviously, it shouldn't have come down to that. It always feels like the game is won or lost in the fourth quarter but in reality it comes down to, especially early games, games are won or lost in the first quarter. We try to talk about it a little bit to try to get yourself going. Obviously, we came out flat. They got a little lead on us. It wasn't until the end that we put ourselves in a position to be in there." – Kyle Korver on loss

"They came out aggressive and forced us into some stuff. I feel like the ball was bobbling out of our hands, stuff we can be better at. Definitely give them credit because they came out really aggressive from the start but I think we know we can play better." – Korver on early mistakes

"We run that play a ton. It's something coach always talks about. The guy in the corner always shrinks over. The corner shot is going to be there. The corner shot is probably my favorite 3, especially out of the right corner. It was a perfect match." – Kent Bazemore on game-tying shot

"They played hard. They jumped on us. You have to give them credit. At the same time, to get to where we want to go we have to be locked in for 48 minutes. It's been our Achilles heel season. Just putting together a complete game. You say how good of a team we are. We dig ourselves these deep holes and still give ourselves a shot down the stretch. Once we figure that out and the light bulb comes on for us as a group, we will progress." – Bazemore on early mistakes
