"When you're four or five games out of the playoffs and you got teams ahead of you that you're playing, it's much more feasible ... If we beat those teams, we're that much closer. This win streak really helps us."


Elton Brand Feb 10 2010 5:57 AM from CBS Sports

"I have happy we have got a little bit of a wave, but I am not going to be really happy until we get to .500 ... That is the mindset we need. Right now, it's good that we're playing with a good personality and a good mindset."


Eddie Jordan Feb 10 2010 5:57 AM from CBS Sports

"We had trouble putting teams away in the past ... No disrespect to that team, but we led by 17 in the first half at their place and lost in overtime. To get that kind of revenge win, and blow it out like that is a positive for us."


Elton Brand Feb 10 2010 5:57 AM from CBS Sports

"I wish I could blame everything on the second quarter ... I don't think we came out and played hard from the beginning. I was disappointed with the effort overall. They played harder than us and we turned the ball over way too much."


Kurt Rambis Feb 10 2010 5:57 AM from CBS Sports

"I just try and give the team as much as I can, come off the bench and give some energy ... You just have to keep yourself ready for anything."


Jason Smith Feb 10 2010 5:57 AM from CBS Sports

"I liked the way we played for 48 minutes ... We didn't have any lulls like we have seen in the past. We stayed at a high level."


Eddie Jordan Feb 10 2010 5:57 AM from CBS Sports

"It's impressive no matter what league you're in, no matter who you're playing against ... To have a 12-game winning streak against the best competition in the world is impressive."


LeBron James Feb 10 2010 5:47 AM from The San Jose Mercury News

"He's an amazing player and keeps getting better and better ... There aren't accolades to describe his game."


Kiki Vandeweghe Feb 10 2010 5:47 AM from The San Jose Mercury News

"My God, he didn't even come close to missing ... Then they banked some in when they were missing. It was an impressive offensive output from their whole team in the first quarter."


Mike D'Antoni Feb 09 2010 5:36 PM from Sacramento Bee

"We had a bad fourth quarter. We missed some free throws, we couldn't stop (Chris) Bosh"
