  • Intro:

    Post-game sound after the Atlanta Hawks beat the Washington Wizards 82-81 in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Wednesday at Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English): Mike Budenholzer, Atlanta Hawks Head Coach

    "You know, the last play, an opportunity just try and get to the paint, get to the basket, see if we could score. Defenses are, they're aggressive, they're going to come to attack. And we wanted our bigs to go to the offensive boards and see if they could finish if we weren't able to make the initial shot. And Al (Horford) obviously did that in a big time way."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Al Horford, Atlanta Hawks Center (On winning basket)

    "Yeah, I wasn't supposed to be involved in the play at all. I was supposed to just set a screen for Kyle (Korver), which I did. And we put our trust in Dennis (Schroder), he had a great drive. And then when I just saw the ball go up, I just ran in there. You know, it was just a hustle play, as making a winning play and just got the ball, my first instinct was just to put it in the basket and yeah."

    SOUNDBITE (English): DeMarre Carroll, Atlanta Hawks Forward

    "We got to play angry. I think everybody, starting five it starts with us to play angry. And I think we did that in the fourth quarter. And I think personally myself, I got to bring out the junkyard dog angry. LIke I did those last four minutes, that's what my team expects from me and that's what I got to do. But overall man, it was a great team win, a great team effort and we just got to go up to (Washington) D.C. and get one more (win)."

    SOUNDBITE (English): John Wall, Washington Wizards Guard (On his approach to game with injured hand)

    "I just played the right way and tried to be aggressive. One thing I noticed when I got out there, I said, if I can't be myself, if I'm going to be tentative, there's no point of being out here. So I wanted to play aggressive and play my attacking style."
