SOUNDBITE (English): Mike Budenholzer, Atlanta Hawks head coach

"I think between tonight and Game 2, the mindset is there's lots of things that we can do better, a few things that we can build on, but there's a stretch early in the fourth quarter where they were able to create a little bit of separation and a lead. A few things happened during that time that we've got to do better, and I think, if we continue to attack and we continue to play with pace and move the ball better, then I think that's going to give us our best chance going into Game 2."

SOUNDBITE (English): David Blatt, Cleveland Cavaliers head coach

"You know, those people and most do, of course, that know J.R. (Smith), when he gets hot, he gets smoking hot. And he was terrific. Probably overlooked in his great shooting performance was the fact that he defended as well as he did and he got eight rebounds. I'd love to know when the last time a guy made how many did he make? Eight. When a guy made eight threes and got eight rebounds. That's an interesting question. I don't remember, but I'm sure it's happened. But that's pretty unusual."
