The view from the other locker room:

Steve Nash:

“I thought they played harder than we did. That’s really the bottom line. They played harder than we did and I don’t think we stick to our game plan like we did so well in the first two games.

“We were a step slow. We weren’t in the right spots. And they were so good at it the first two games. I know we played with a lot of energy, but I thought our concentration in the first two games was good too.

Raja Bell

“They were a desperate team. They played with a lot of desperation and we didn’t trea it the same way. That was one team wanting to win more than the other one did.

“i thought we made it pretty clear that we didn’t think we had it in the bag — its a series.”
