Flat
Kevin Garnett boiled the loss down to one word.
“Energy,” said Garnett. “I could tell right off the bat, energy-wise. We weren’t our normal selves. These couple of games, we’ve been probably spoiled by the fact that we come out with really good energy. And tonight, for whatever reason, we just didn’t.”
Paul Pierce described it with a metaphor.
“You kind of felt like a little kid in the park, and the bully came and snatched the ball tonight,” said Pierce. “Nothing you can do about. It was one of those good old-fashioned butt-whoopings. You give the credit to them, man.”
Neither Pierce nor Garnett was worried about getting up for tomorrow night’s game at Milwaukee.
“I’m not even worried about our focus tomorrow,” Pierce said. “The way we played tonight, I expect a high focus.”
