Forward Corey Brewer

On playing well in his hometown

“It feels real good. Last year it was a bit of a shock coming home, but this year I was used to it because I had been to Tennessee already plus it was the second time around.”

 

On his outside shot coming to him

“I’ve been working and it’s finally starting to pay off. I’m glad it’s happening late in the season.”

 

On getting a big rebound and put-back late in the game

“When I saw the ball go up, I felt like it was going to come off and I ran full speed and it came right to me. It turned out to be a key play in the game.”

 

Center Joakim Noah

On the play of Corey Brewer

“Corey’s the heart of this team. When Corey’s playing well, it helps us all. I’ve been on him all week about getting his swagger back because he hasn’t been playing well lately. I’m really proud of him. He stepped up in front of a hostile crowd, and a home crowd too for him.”

 

On winning on the road

“It’s great to get a win in an environment like this. The fans were really loud and it’s good to play in an environment like this.”

 

Guard Taurean Green

On Corey Brewer

“He’s starting to get his confidence back. Coming off an ankle injury, you’re going to be a little rusty — you can’t play the way you want to play. Now he’s back 100 percent and he just played great today.”

 

On winning on the road

“Any road game is a big game, and we’ve got to keep on winning. We’ve got a lot more road games left and we know it’s going to be tough. We’ve just got to build up momentum.”
