“Tough day at the office,” said Joakim Noah, who had 11 points, 11 rebounds and a pair of blocks. “We got our (butts) kicked. They outplayed us. They were way more on edge than us. It’s unfortunate because it was a good opportunity to go 3-0. But, on to the next one: Three games in, 79 more to go.”

“We got outhustled,” said Taj Gibson, who had 12 points, five rebounds (three offensive) and three blocks. “They were physical from the start of the game. They set the tone right away. Any given night, guys can step up even if their top players are down. It shows. You can’t sleep on anybody. We missed a lot of key layups. A lot of easy layups, including myself. Thibs said you’ve got everyone telling you how good you are and praising you and you get knocked on your tail. That’s thing about this league. You can’t get comfortable with any team or any game. There’s always someone looking to knock you down. We feel like we dropped the ball tonight.”

“So bad I wanted this game,” said Belinelli about playing against his former team. “(I) feel bad now. (It is) finally different between now and the preseason (when he shot poorly). I want to come in and be aggressive. Everybody wants to play well against your old team. I’m mad we lost this game. We missed a lot of layups. We didn’t play well.”
