"I think it had a lot to do with the effort we put in [Friday] night," said Silas. "We tried a lot today; night, but we didn't have that click. The guys were short of all the shots and we couldn't get that extra step in the paint."

"This was the end of six games in nine days," said Silas."We went 3-3 during this run. Overall, I'm proud of our players. The way they fought playing the champions back to back, I'm proud of how they played."

“We could have easily let go of the rope early in the game, but we didn’t,” “We keep fighting, and the mental strength needed to compete and get the game back to six points is not enough. It’s necessarily something you can do.   in many young teams. So I'm proud of the group we have in the locker room and their fight. And we showed yesterday to night and we showed it again tonight and we continue to show it. Like I said, the second Denver game and the Milwaukee game are the two where we basically laid an egg, but every other game we were right about that.

The Houston Rockets have a negative campaign of 17 losses and only six wins in the season. One of the worst teams in the NBA right now.

"Every game you play. you have to bring it... But especially when you have to bring it. "You play against a team like Memphis," said Shake Milton.“They are going to come out with a lot of energy and it’s going to be fun.  you have to be ready to match it.”

“ You have to be ready to take the position, and I think we will be," Milton said.“We will bounce back.”

“[Morant’s] hard to protect, especially when he’s coming down.  He's so fast, he's got so much jump, he can dunk on you, he's got a great floater, he's great. kicking the ball well from three. It will be a difficult confrontation, but we have guys who like this type of confrontation.” 

“All game long, we were saying, “keep fighting,”, Tobias Harris (24 pts, 10 reb) said after the game.“We fought all night and we managed to create something late in the game… We can just flow and do what we do to close a good home win.”

“I think lately they’ve been moving the ball, they’re taking shots, and then we’ve been playing well on defense.  I wanted to come in and feed myself to try and make sure that everybody keeps doing what they're doing because they're doing a great job.
