Hollins 'very impressed' with win over Oklahoma

  • Intro:

    Post-game reaction after the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 103-97 in overtime to take a commanding 3-1 series lead on Monday.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Lionel Hollins, Memphis Grizzlies Coach

    "I'm very impressed. I've said all along that we are a team that just plays hard and doesn't quit. We scratch, we claw, they say grit and grid I don't know what the heck that means, but we go out and we just battle. We just compete. We are not the most talented team that is in the playoffs when we started out, and we are not the most talented team that's left in the playoffs, but we go and compete and we try to do whatever we can to get a win. We have been fortunate to get three in this series."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Mike Conley, Memphis Grizzlies Guard

    "It's much better than going there two and two right now. We have an opportunity in front of us which we can take advantage of. I know our guys are focused, we are treating it one game at a time, we know that they are going to fight like they have their backs against the walls, just like they did tonight. They are going to play with a sense of urgency and we have to be ready."

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

    "We have to do a better job, that is it. That is the bottom line .They made a few extra plays then us. Each game has gone down to basically a two minute game. Nothing to be ashamed of, other than I wish we would have won a couple of these games. We have a great opportunity to get back to our home court, hopefully we can continue to play with that same intensity and make some shots like we did tonight, and sustain it throughout the game. It was great energy and great effort and great decisions and we will be back here for game six."
