30 Quotes by Andrei Kirilenko

I think we just started playing defense the way we should play it. We just started stopping them on the fast break.

I think we did a pretty good job as a team tonight. Especially after those kind of tough nights, the Seattle (loss on Sunday) and the Orlando game, even though we got a 'W,' it was frustrating in the end.

I think everybody did a good job helping each other out in the first half, not only Carlos, Mehmet, and myself. I would say that (rookie Deron Williams ) and Kris Humphries were also very helpful. It was a good effort all-around and we were able to establish a comfortable lead for the second half.

We don't have a good chance (to make the playoffs), it's a bad chance. But we have a chance, which is good. We have to win a lot of games, but we still feel like we can do it.

We have to play hard and not let teams intimidate us in the first quarter like Miami and Orlando did. You have to keep chasing and chasing. Finally in the fourth quarter when you've got them, you have no energy.

We had an opportunity to keep (the lead), but Dirk had a tremendous game and in the fourth quarter he just killed us.

We stayed with our game. A couple of the previous games we were terrible, but tonight we did a terrific job. We were happy, we were moving and rolling.

We started to push the ball and beat Denver at their game. They like to run a lot and sometimes they forget about defense. So we kind of forced them to get back with fast attack. I think it worked well.

We just have to start winning. Every game is important. We still have chances. We're still in the race. Win, no matter how. That is all there is to it.
