ClutchCity.net Game Thread: Jazz @ Rockets 2/11/2003

Yao finally realized sth.

YAO MING

On the Rockets coming up short tonight:
"That¡¯s the difference between winning and losing. Sometimes a decision is made in the final seconds."

On the Rockets¡¯ last-second miss at the end of overtime:
"You can¡¯t really say. The ball was in Cuttino¡¯s hands. It was his decision."

On Matt Harpring¡¯s 3-point shot that tied the game at the end of regulation:
"We didn¡¯t think it would go in. We knew he would shoot it."

On the Jazz defense on him in overtime:
"I didn¡¯t have any opportunities. They were double-teaming me and the best choice was to pass the ball to the open man."

 

At least Yao Ming has a good grasp of what happened during the game. He doesn't just say it's the "luck of the draw."
