What they said after the Hawks’ 90-88 loss to the Nets Tuesday:
"Give Brooklyn credit. They made more plays down the stretch. We've got to get better." - Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer's opening remarks following game
"He had his spots. He is not any different than the rest of us. We've all got to play better for longer." - Budenholzer on play of Dennis Schroder subbing for Jeff Teague
"The execution is terrible. The defense is terrible. We can do better. We expect a lot from ourselves. We can do better. We have to do better. It's as simple as that." - Paul Millsap on issues with team during recent slide
"Nothing is going on with this team right now. Sometimes the ball can fall one way, fall the other. Obviously, we have to look at ourselves in the mirror and play a little harder. We still have the same problem as last year. We have a stretch where we play great basketball, offensively and defensively, and we have stretches were we are a little carless on the offensive end and too loose on the defensive end." - Thabo Sefolosha are state of Hawks
"I was trying to find somebody open. I thought Al had a good matchup with Thaddeus Young on him. I tried to put it high but Thaddeus got a hand on it." - Sefolosha on final play
"Each of us, starting with me, have to give a better effort on both ends of the floor. Once we are able to get leads we have to be able to hold it." - Al Horford losing streak
"I think you are probably right. This is our third straight loss. This was a game tonight we felt good about coming in here and winning. We didn't get it done. We have to play better." - Horford on frustration
"The first half we didn't play with intensity and we didn't move the ball very well. The last shot we could have tied the game. I held the ball too long. I should have passed it a little bit earlier. I take that one on me." - Dennis Schroder on loss
"You know, we made mistakes tonight, but I think the most important thing was just that we continued to play. You know, we had our lows and we were down but we didn't give up." - Brook Lopez on Nets win
