Their offensive rebounding hurt us. It was the first game in a while that the rebounding differential on the offensive boards came back to haunt us. You can make a case that was the game (considering how) much that happened at the end of the game.
More Quotes from Rick Carlisle:
Three days ago it looked like it might be a possibility. He is doing better. It's just not the right time to push it. Also, if we would have did it, he would have been playing a game without almost any practice time leading up to it, which would have been hard. It makes it tough because he does a good job on (Shaquille O'Neal).Rick Carlisle
We know that we got lucky today. We know Vince Carter is not going to have another 1-for-8 3-point game or 12-for-33 game, because he's a great player and he's going to make his shots. We got very fortunate that he didn't have his best game.

I would like to see us play perfectly every time. But that's not going to happen. We understand this year we're going to be judged on how we do as a group. It's as simple as that.

We had one of the best practices we've had in the 212 years I've been here. Guys really seemed committed to getting better. Little things like that are good signs. You hope it translates to the games, but you never know.

We've had great execution in the last two games we won one and lost another. These types of one-possession games come in waves. The way our team is set up, we have players that can make plays.

It's just one of those plays great players make. When he took it, I just turned my head.
