    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Vinny del Negro, Los Angeles Clippers head coach

    "You know, the second chance points and just different things that they do so well put a lot of pressure on us with their two bigs. Obviously Zach (Randolph) and Marc (Gasol) control everything. So, we changed up different things, trying to double team from different angles at times. But then you open yourself up to the rebound. Tony Allen obviously hit the glass on us a lot and hurt us as well as other guys. But, we got to just stay the course and go there (Memphis) with the right mindset and put ourselves in position like they did today and get a win."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Lionel Hollins, Memphis Grizzlies head coach

    "Well we've been taking care of the ball because we're moving the ball. We have good pace on offence and we've been very focused. I thought early in the game our focus wasn't good and then we picked it up real quick and we got into the game and we were engaged and we were alert. We gave them some easy stuff defensively. But, as the game wore on, we started taking stuff away. And Chris Paul, the great player he is, he came out tonight with the mindset, 'I'm going to win this game for us.' And he did a heck of a job for them and we're fortunate to get out of here with a win."
