  • Intro:

    Postgame reaction after the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 87-81 in Game 3 of the NBA Western Conference Semifinals on Saturday at FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Scott Brooks, Oklahoma City Thunder Head Coach
    "That was a very hard fought playoff basketball game. Unfortunately, we didn't come out with a win. But, I thought our guys competed very hard, I thought both teams did. I thought both teams really competed. But, we know going into this series, that that was going to be the case, every game that we play. We did a few things very well. I'm proud of the effort on the offensive glass, not allowing them many of them (offensive rebounds), five. Our turnovers were low. We just got to make some shots. I believe in our guys."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Lionel Hollins, Memphis Grizzlies Head Coach
    "The night wasn't pretty but it was pretty for us because we got the win. Our bench did a outstanding job, gave us 29 points. And we just go out and compete and I told them after the game. I said, 'I got a crazy, crazy, crazy bunch of competitive guys.' They're yelling and screaming at me. They're yelling and screaming at each other. But, they go out there on the court and they try to win."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Marc Gasol, Memphis Grizzlies Centre
    "I felt like every game we've gotten better and today we were not better than the last game. And that was always one of our goals, to be better the next game. And I thought tonight, we had too many breakdowns defensively. We were not aware to protect the paint, too many points in the paint, too many fastbreak points. And we got to be better than that in order to win the series."
