PISTONS HEAD COACH DWANE CASEY
On tonight's game:
"We didn't get started, we started playing in the second half. That was a concern going into [an] afternoon game. We didn't start playing until the second half. And, again, no excuse for it. We're professional players no matter what time the schedule says. The game starts, we got to get started. You can't coach effort -- effort and focus, you can't do that. If we don't come out with it, it's going to be just like today all over again."
On recovering from a slow start:
"I thought we played, hell, we had 31 points in the third quarter.
