    Reaction after Oklahoma City beat Miami 105-94 in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Scott Brooks, Oklahoma City Thunder Head Coach:

    (on team's ability to comeback)

    "It was a good win. You know, we have great fans, really cheered us on, gave us some good energy in that second half. But it was, like I told the guys also, you know, we won one game. That's it, it's the first game. We're thankful that we won the game. we played with a lot of good energy in that second half."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Erik Spoelstra, Miami Heat Head Coach:

    (on difference in fourth quarter)

    "About halfway through the fourth quarter, we were thinking we were putting ourselves in a position to win and then they just went away. And that's what they do. They keep on coming, they were relentless. They beat us at their game and beat us in a game that's very similar to us when we're playing well. So, we'll regroup and gather ourselves for a long series and get ready for the next one."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City Thunder Forward:

    (on how team turned game around)

    "They came out on fire. You know, they were passing the ball well, knocking down shots. You know, we just wanted to continue to keep playing and it's a long game and every time our coach was just saying, play harder, play harder. And that's what we did and it was a game of runs man, so, you just had to make sure that every time down we got a good shot and on the defensive end we just got to contest up and just play hard. And we got to continue to do that."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) LeBron James, Miami Heat Forward:

    (on fourth quarter)

    "You know, they didn't make many mistakes in the fourth quarter and I don't think we made many mistakes in the fourth quarter. It's just they made more plays, especially offensively. You know, they made more shots. Russell (Westbrook) made some big time shots, KD (Kevin Durant) made some big time shots and Nick Collison got a few offensive rebounds that allowed them to get extra possessions when we did get a stop. So, I think that's what it was about."
