« Important to have confidence »

Tony is pretty satisfied after San Antonio won Sacramento.

Tony, San Antonio bounced back against Sacramento…
We were a little disappointed after our loss against Chicago. We didn’t confirm our previous game vs New Orleans. It wasn’t the real us. So we were super motivated against Sacramento. We wanted to be more aggressive and that’s what we did. It was important to win with style to restore confidence. It was necessary to forget about the Bulls game.

As for you, the game went well…
Just like the team, I was aggressive from the start. I scored 16 of my 24 points in the 1^st half. And, I didn’t play the fourth quarter. So it’s basically positive. I am also happy for Richard Jefferson. After 2 difficult games, he managed to increase his level. He was there both in defense and offense.

Manu Ginobili aka Batman…
Only Manu can do that. Like I said after the game he’s a legend. Anyway, it’s awesome to knock a bat out with your hand. And the most incredible is that he picked it up like nothing happened to give it to the security guy! This dude is crazy. That’s why we love him.

Now you have 4 days to relax before the away game in Utah.
Yes and it’s a pretty unusual schedule. As soon as the season starts, we’re used to play games one after the other. And now there’s a gap. I’d rather carry on with the games. But it doesn’t matter, it gives us time to prepare next game. We’ll have to be ready anyway because it’s always hard to play in Utah.
