Intro:

The San Antonio Spurs and LA Clippers give their reactions to the Spurs clean sweep in the Western Conference play-off series.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Gregg Popovich, San Antonio Spurs Head Coach:

"I feel fortunate that we could get through this one tonight. It looked unlikely at different points in the game but down the stretch we finally got some loose balls... that I think they got most of the game. Their effort and their determination was terrific and I congratulate them for that."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Tony Parker, San Antonio Spurs Guard:

"I don't like to compare (previous Spurs) teams. A lot of people ask me 'do you think this team is better?' Until we win a championship there is no way I can compare this team. For me we haven't accomplished anything, we've just arrived to the Conference Finals and we know we're going to play a very, very good team. So, until we go all the way I can't compare this team."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Gregg Popovich, San Antonio Spurs Head Coach:

"You never know what's going to happen with your team, but I can tell you with any championship we've never gone into a play-off thinking 'you know, this is our year. Yep, we've got the team that can get it done'. We've never felt like that. We just go with what we call appropriate fear - you know, you're not afraid of people but you still have good concern and appropriate fear about everything and all the things that can happen. So there's never a thought that you're the team that's going to win a championship."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Vinny Del Negro, Los Angeles Clippers Head Coach:

"You know, we had, obviously, our ups and downs overall as the season went on, like most teams. But I thought we battled through it. I thought we gave a great effort tonight, as I expected, but you have to give San Antonio credit. They're experienced, their experience showed with their execution, with the way they spread us out... Tim (Duncan) looks great, and the rest of the guys are feeding off that."
