Avery Johnson
On what happened down the stretch after taking a 1 point fourth quarter lead: “They made a few shots and got a little cushion there. We had a couple of defensive breakdowns and missed a few shots. Our guys fought hard tonight and we just came up on the short end of the stick tonight.”
On the play of Jason Terry in the second half: “He came up big. I talked to him at halftime when he was hesitating a little bit and he came back and had a big second half. He made some big shots down the stretch and some big threes. He made some really terrific basketball plays for us.”
On the difficulty of losing games on consecutive nights: “We are a team that takes pride in being mentally tough. We don’t get rattled. We have been here before. You have to give Milwaukee credit because they deserved to win. We fought really hard and just had a couple of bad breaks. We had a missed free throw and let Yi get that big dunk on us. It was just a couple of bad breaks but that is the way it goes sometimes. We don’t make any excuses. We just didn’t get the stops in the fourth quarter. We just have to regroup and go back home.”
Josh Howard
On the game: “I don’t really know. We played hard but their guys just made shots. They were the better team tonight. They stepped up and made some big plays.”
On losing games on consecutive nights: “It’s still early and it’s still a learning process for us. This group of guys has been together for about three years now and we know what it takes to win. We just have to continue to focus on us and play our game.”
On the play of Jason Terry in the fourth quarter: “He’s known for making big shots for us and we continue to need him to do that. We want to get him to play like that during the rest of the game as well but they were double teaming him. He was big for us and kept us in the game.”
Devin Harris
On the play of Jason Terry in the fourth quarter: “Jason was huge for us. We were kind of struggling with our shots all night long and we didn’t shoot a high percentage, but he hit some big threes for us to help keep us in the game. I thought that last one he had to tie was going to go down but sometimes they just don’t fall.”

Terry did do a good job but ia m a little concerned about hte slow starts to all of these games it scares me when you let them stay in the game in the end i am not just talking about tonight i am talking about last night also
When is the NBA going to review and fine and/or suspend players for moving their feet underneath jumpshooters?
I am quite surprised that the NBA players union hasn't promoted this as well.
Players can keep this from happening if they are sufficiently punished for doing it. There is no reason that it is allowed to continue.

How is Josh doing? He was limping pretty badly by the end of the 4th.
Love watching you play. This is YOUR year Mavs.
Peace from Florida
I think the last playoffs are in their minds no matter what Avery says. But it is getting them down instead of up. I know they will pull out of this but home court advantage is great for the playoffs.
