QUOTABLE

Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers after loss to Chicago Bulls: "The good looks came after crappy basketball for the first 11 minutes of this third quarter. The second group, they got us the 15 point lead. First group came in before halftime, lost it and then regained it, and then lost it again. They lost two 15-point leads."

"The second group, there was a stretch in the second quarter where it couldn't have been more beautiful in the way the game was played. No dribbles, into the paint, they did everything you're supposed to do as a team and then the first group did the exact opposite."

"I don't know if there's a such thing as the 'Basketball Gods' but if there is, he was alive tonight."
