What they said after the Hawks’ 103-97 win over the Kings Wednesday:
"We've got a group that is really prideful. We've had a poor week for us. At some point, they take it upon themselves. It's a credit to them. They want to be good." - Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer on team's response after three-game losing streak
"We've played so many games in this stretch. These next two days is our first time having two days without a game since the season started. When you play all these games and you don't get to practice and you don't get to watch film and there is no accountability because of that, you get a little sloppy. The last few games we were a little sloppy and a little run down." - Kyle Korver on win
"Rudy Gay, on every pick he went under. I appreciate to get open shots like that." - Dennis Schroder on getting open shots
"He saw it. The official saw it. He was right there. He saw it. I told him 'Did you see that?' He tried to brush it off like it wasn't a big deal." - Al Horford on whether official saw DeMarcus Cousin throw an elbow, which he confirmed landed
"I was a little ticked off. It's been a long few weeks. These last few games coming down to the wire and not being able to pull them off, it was an emotional moment." - Paul Millsap on shot in final seconds that sealed Hawks win
"So I woke up this morning and I felt OK. So I told coach if you need me tonight I could give you some minutes. … I'm headed in the right direction." - Thabo Sefolosha on playing back-to-back games
"They move the ball around. If you don't communicate when they pas the ball around, it's going to be tough on you." - Kings' Rudy Gay on Hawks offense
