I don't know what it is with us and triple-overtime games. We don't get overtime pay, so we might as well win it in regulation.

Tonight was just one of those games you have to gut it out. It seemed we were beaten two or three times. However, Shawn had another great game, and Steve (Nash) did everything he could to get us that win.

Before he got hurt he was averaging about 20 points a game over the last five games. And Burke is coming along well, too. Dan's really helped them both.

But that might just be bad luck. Sometimes you just lose games. We have guys who are phenomenal athletes, so that helps. And I don't see our guys getting tired that much. But there are a lot of factors.

We were flat, really flat. They didn't let us have a response. We just couldn't find our rhythm. I don't think it's anything extraordinary. It's just one of those nights that's out of 82 (games). We just have to forget it, as long as it doesn't happen too often.

We played as hard as we can, but it just didn't work out. That's about all they let us say.
