--Pistons coach John Kuester, on the Raptors getting to the free throw line: "We have got to get people off the foul line. We did a good job of holding them to 43 percent (from the floor) after the way they started shooting the basketball. We just can't dig ourselves a hole and to fight so hard and exert so much energy to get out of it."
--G Ben Gordon, on the Raptors' second quarter: "If anyone in this league scores that many points, it's going to be tough to counter that. We did a good job of rallying back in the third and had a lead for a short period of time but we could never really hold them off." --G Rodney Stuckey, on the second quarter: "That killed us right there. Other than that, we would have won the game."
QUOTE TO NOTE: "It just seemed like we ran out of gas. We dug ourselves into a hole but we got out of it. It's situations like that when we take the lead, that we have to be poised and do what we were doing that got us that lead." -- F Charlie Villanueva, on the Pistons rallying late, but faltering the end.
