Post-Game Summary: Grizzlies at Heat

Warrick

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES FORWARD HAKIM WARRICK

On the game...
We had a lot of energy out there on the floor. Andre Brown was a great lift for us. He has not been playing, and I know that is hard. He showed a lot of determination to come off and play the way he played. We did a pretty good job [defensively]. I think they [Miami HEAT] shot 38 percent. You will get a lot of wins when you hold a team like that. We want to use these games to try to click and get together as much as we can. It is a new system with a lot of new players, and we are still jelling and still plan on getting better and will continue to get better.

Conley

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES GUARD MIKE CONLEY

On playing with Kyle Lowry...
It is so much fun when he is out there, because he has a point guard mentality, but at the same time, he has the mentality that he wants to push the ball a lot. Having two people that want to push the ball [playing together] is great. Kyle definitely gets up the court. I am always looking for him. He really pushes our whole team. Everybody starts to run with him, and everybody starts playing together and having fun.

On the game...
The bench came up big. The guys played well. Andre [Brown] came up big with the tip in at the end. He played great the whole game. Everybody played their roles and did not try to do too much. It was a total team effort.

Riley

MIAMI HEAT HEAD COACH PAT RILEY

On the game...
We just ran out of fire power at the end and didn’t make two or three stops. We were just fighting from behind the whole game. We were down 18 and got back to 4 or 5, then it went to 10. It’s a tough thing to do to come all the way back and get over the hump. We definitely had a chance. We had one shot at it. I think Quinny (Chris Quinn) had a great pull-up, a great look at tying the score. That was the last opportunity.

On the lineup change for tonight’s game...
It fits a little better with Stephane (Lasme) and Mark (Blount). You have one shooting big that can step out. When you play Joel (Anthony) and (Stephane) Lasme together, you really have two guys that are really under the hoop the whole time. That’s the only reason.

On Kasib Powell’s injury...
He had a cramp. He was about ready to get it in the time out before that. He was trying to drink a lot of water, but it was too late.

On whether any of the D league players will be coming back...
They’ll be in the summer development. We’ve already made that decision on Stephane (Lasme). We signed him.

Davis

MIAMI HEAT FORWARD-GUARD RICKY DAVIS

On the game...
We were down and we kept getting beaten on the boards. It’s tough for us to come back when we keep giving a team second chance shots.

Quinn

MIAMI HEAT GUARD CHRIS QUINN

On the game...
I thought we played hard in the second half, but in the first half we got behind by too much. It’s tough to come back like that.

On clinching the worst record in the NBA...
I don’t really have too many thoughts. I guess it is what it is. With three games left, we are going to play as hard as we can for all three of them. We want to win. As a competitor, you never want to go down like that. With three games to go, all we can do is play as hard as we can and try to get some wins.
