Intro:
Post-game sound after the Houston Rockets beat the Los Angeles Clippers 124-103 in Game 5 of the Western Conference semi-finals on Tuesday (May 12) at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
Script:
SOUNDBITE (English): Kevin McHale, Houston Rockets Head Coach
"You know, we attacked, we finally, we got to the basket. We got our points in the paint and tried to attack and played a little bit more like we try to play throughout the entire year. That was really the first kind of game offensively that we kind of played downhill and got our rhythm going."
SOUNDBITE (English): Doc Rivers, Los Angeles Clippers Head Coach
"They just played harder. They were more focused. They played like they were the desperate team. We didn't play very desperate tonight. So give them credit. I thought they took us out of all our stuff offensively. I thought they bumped us, they pushed us. So I was disappointed in how we played, that's always on the coach. I really believe that. I got to figure out a way, we didn't play with the urgency that we've played through the playoffs. So that was disappointing to see."
SOUNDBITE (English): James Harden, Houston Rockets Guard
"We knew if we, you know, it was win or go home. We had a great opportunity in front of our home crowd to regain our swagger and we did that from the beginning of the game. They kind of embarrassed us twice in L.A. (Los Angeles). So we knew we could play a lot better and we did tonight."
