Intro:
Reaction after the Brooklyn Nets beat the Sacramento Kings after overtime in the NBA Global Games.
Script:
SOUNDBITE (English) Lionel Hollins, Brooklyn Nets head coach: (His assessment of game).
"Our starters played extremely well offensively and defensively. The second unit gave up all of the lead and we were behind at half-time. We came out the third quarter, the group that I started did a great job. Deron Williams had great energy in getting us revved up and in rhythm. And then everybody picked up their energy and we started pushing the ball, we were scoring, they couldn't stop us. I put Jerome Jordan in, who guarded the basket for us extremely well. And that group went right on into the fourth quarter. We had the lead. We put a young group of guys in to see what they could do, and they carried all the way until we had the win in regulation and gave up a couple of 'threes'. But we came back and we got the win in overtime. I'm proud of the way the young guys played. I'm proud of the way our team competed, and they are growing in that area of competitiveness and toughness and trying to wear down the other team."
SOUNDBITE (English) Mike Malone, Sacramento Kings head coach: (On tour as a whole).
"Even though we lost both games, the positive for me is that we've been able to spend quite a lot of time together to try to bond and create chemistry and trust. It's not going to happen overnight but a trip like this will definitely help."
