Script:

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

"In the playoffs it seems even more so, teams that shoot well do pretty darn well. And tonight we shot 50 and they were in the 30's. I haven't looked at the rest of the stats yet, but that was the story in the first two games for us and the worm turned. And we made shots, and they didn't have as good of a night shooting the ball. Sometimes it is as simple as that, there are other factors, when you think about turnovers, and blah blah blah, but we shot it and they didn't."

SOUNDBITE (English): Mark Jackson, Golden State Warriors Head Coach:

"They outplayed us, they outworked us and they were the aggressor. That being said, we are still a confident basketball team. We talked about it, that team is very capable of coming into our building and beating us. They did that. We have proven that we are capable of going into their building and beating them. If we don't play our brand of basketball, we are not good enough to just win. There were some good things tonight, and there were some things we certainly got to do better, but this series is far from over."
