That game [Thursday] took ordsprog

That game [Thursday] took a lot out of our team. We tried to act like it didn't, but these guys really battled.

Avery Johnson (1965-)

We battled the No. 1 team in the country and did it without many of our guys. We had guys who were in foul trouble and we had guys who were sick. Still, we battled them down to the end.

The guys were wound up a little bit Tuesday night. They didn't want to lose. Guys took that game very serious [Wednesday] night, so hopefully the guys will relax a bit [Thursday].

Our team battled through the adversity of the game. They battled through not shooting the ball, and we found a way, defensively, to win the game.

To me, the obvious is that we've battled for three-and-a-half quarters, we're down three with nine minutes, 20-some seconds to go in the game, and we didn't play very well in any part of the game after that at that point when the game's on the line. What you don't want is guys looking for excuses. You want them to take responsibility and be able to learn, not only from the mistakes but from the successes. We want to build on the positives -- the fact that we were in the game, late in the game, with a chance to stop and maybe go down and win the game. Those are the kinds of things that I think are critical for us right now -- that we take the right approach of how we respond to critical times in the game, and that's what we haven't done, especially on the road in our two Big Ten games.

Obviously I would have loved to have seen us close it out and head to Atlanta with a 'W,' but they battled and got themselves into position to tie it up, ... After that, I was a spectator in here rooting guys on. You've got to tip your hat to all our guys in the bullpen. They've taken a lot of heat all year. Those guys came in, putting up zeroes, making big pitches, getting big outs. Going 18 innings, I have a lot of respect for those guys. They went out and battled, but they just outlasted us.

They played their hearts out. We just didn't continue to shoot the ball well in the game. Our guys came out and battled for the first quarter and a half.

I think the guys didn't play with any passion or emotion [Thursday night] because I think they were looking ahead a game.

We didn't play. None of us. That's embarrassing. Our front-line guys didn't compete with their bench. There was no excuse for our performance. I gave the guys (Thursday) off because of the upcoming schedule and I shouldn't have. As bad as we played, Denver should have beaten us by 50 and they didn't.

I've got to hand it to the team. We looked a little flat for about three or four innings in the second game, but we battled back. We came from behind and never game up. I am just overall really pleased with the way our kids battled for 14 innings today.

Our defense has had an edge already since Sunday about this game. I usually don't see that until Wednesday or Thursday. It isn't because we thought we lost to a team that wasn't a good team, we just felt that we didn't play our best.

What disturbed me the most was Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, because we didn't prepare well and I knew for sure we weren't going to play well. I was correct. Now did I think we would lose like this? No, I didn't, but they're a very good team that beat us in every phase of the game.

The heart and never-say-die attitude was key. The guys just battled and battled. We've got a lot of guys going both ways, had some key injuries the week before, but a lot of guys stepped up and that's what it's all about.

Our game legs have been on vacation for a couple of weeks. We battled through that, and we didn't panic. That's a mark of a veteran team.

It was a true team effort. We didn't have any individual champions, but we placed 11 guys, and that was the biggest thing. They all displayed a lot of heart. They're all hard workers, and even when they lost, they battled, so I'm very proud of them.
