I thought as the game went on we wore down a little bit. I don't want to blame anything, they just beat us down the stretch. In the fourth quarter is where the game is won or lost.

I thought we didn't create rhythm offensively. And we played really tough defense on the strong side all night long, but you can't beat this team playing that way. Just playing strong defense on that side.

The Hornets were out-hustling us to every ball. I wont say that we were slow; we were just getting beat on each possession. The team that comes out and plays hard every night is the team that is going to win regardless of what their records are.

It's hard to really judge (the Spurs) because I don't think we gave them much of a challenge. They played their game and beat us. And that's all there was to it.

They just beat us down the stretch. In the fourth quarter is where the game is won or lost. I thought we missed a lot of easy shots.
