Darvin Ham, head coach of the Lakers, spoke after the loss to the Kings, also criticizing the Lakers' performance: "We had a great start to the game, but we started making some horrible fouls and mistakes. We simply gave them the chance to get out in transition and score easy points. In short, we couldn't maintain the sense of urgency from the start of the match. We started the game with the will to win, but we couldn't maintain it. Frustration makes us cowards, as does tiredness. You start worrying about things you can't control, like the refereeing, instead of working on improving your execution or getting our defense right. Sometimes all we need is to compete more. But I don't blame the referees, because the problem is that we let this issue affect us. We had a good game plan and I think the application was great at the start of the game. But when things started to go wrong, we let it get to us. Frustration took hold of us. We have to compete for every possession at once and shot after shot. We're honing the mentality of competing for the next possession without letting what happened in the previous possession affect us. It's one play at a time, to sum it up."

Kevin Ollie, the Nets' interim head coach, spoke after the loss to the Hornets, criticizing the squad: "I haven't seen the games yet, but my eyes don't lie. I don't remember us competing for a single ball, so I don't remember it well. When the shots didn't fall, we didn't go back into transition. We just had to decide, but no. When baskets happen, that's fine. But when they don't, you have to do those little things. I tell them that it's not that we're not capable, but that we're not doing the little things to win. In training, the game plans are to contain the dribble, but we can't let the opponent cross our perimeter so many times in a row. There's no defense that can stop that. We can train as much as we want, but with so many penetrations in the paint and relying on Nic Claxton to block shots? He's not Superman. We need more effort, holding the guy in front of us. But when you lose there, you need help and that causes a domino effect. It's free-three baskets, uncontested offensive rebounds. So we need to do a better job.
