Rick Adelman:
"Just a very poor defensive effort," said Houston coach Rick Adelman. "I think they just took it to us. We weren't mentally tough enough to guard their cuts. They got it going."
Kevin Martin speaking of Deron Williams:
"He came out really looking to attack," Houston guard Kevin Martin said of Williams. "I was like 'you're feeling it tonight, huh' and he was like, 'you know, I just had a bad game last night,' and great players in this league, that's what they do."
Carlos Boozer speaking of Deron Willaims:
"Last night he didn't play his best game," said Jazz forward Carlos Boozer, who had 18 points and eight rebounds. "Tonight he came back strong and started cooking. They didn't have a guy that could stay in front of him. He just kept taking it to them. When he can get by you, he's dangerous."
My conclusion from Kevin and Carlos's comments is that the Kings played good defense vs. the Jazz Friday night. Tyreke Evans did a great job guarding Deron Williams.
I will leave you to draw your own conclusion on Rick Adelman's "mentally tough" comment.
