Thunder Quotes After Beatdown Of Bucks

Scott Brooks:

On a strong second half:

"I thought our offense was much better in the second half. The ball was moving, there was enjoyment seeing that. Everybody wanted to help each other score. We haven't shot the ball well the last three games, but I thought the guys did a good job in the second half."  

On Jeremy Lamb:

"Another guy I'm proud of is Jeremy. Jeremy had a tough night a couple nights ago, but he bounced back.  A lot of times that's not easy to do, when you haven't been through a lot of experience in this league.  He came back and gave us great energy and we needed it.  We're seeing his growth right in front of our eyes."

Jeremy Lamb:

On recovering after a slow start: 

"Felt good, we needed a win. We started off a little slow, got it going, kept playing defense and was able to win." 

On his big night after a rough stretch:

"They played a little zone. For shooters, a zone is a great thing. And my teammates found me even though I had some terrible games, my teammates still trust in me and my coaches still trust in me and I was able to knock some down."

Kevin Durant: 

On his fall:

"That fall woke me up. One of my friends texted me after the game, said he dropped to his knees and prayed for me so I guess that helped too."

On adjusting after a slow start:

"We got a smart group. We've got some veterans mixed in with some young guys that are wise beyond their years. So we know how to adjust.  It took us a while to adjust, but I think we did a god job of doing so." 

On strategy to end losing skid:

"To be honest, the only thing we wanted to focus on was defense.  Maybe that's why our offense wasn't so good (laughs).  We told the guys before the game, don't worry about making shots or missing shots, just worry about locking in on defense and I think we did a great job of that."
