“We knew it was going to be a challenge, but that’s not good enough,” Hawks coach Derek King said. “I’ve got to watch my words here, but we just can’t do that. We can’t put an effort out like that and hope to maybe steal a game from somebody. That’s not going to happen.”

“This happened a little bit in the Charlotte game where we got into the second half and the rotation became short,” Donovan said. “You’re just resting Zach for a minute or two, then putting him back in, then putting DeMar for a minute or two. … With DeMar and Zach, we’re just trying to stagger those guys in the second half, but we need some of the bench to absorb some of those minutes.”
“Artists like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg were at the forefront of the West Coast hip hop revolution, so to be able to bring them back to LA, where it all began alongside Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar will prove to be an epic, unforgettable celebration of the impact hip hop has today,” said Todd Kaplan, Pepsi’s vice president of marketing.

“The kids can play, I think it’s safe to say,” said Kenny Agostino, who scored the fourth U.S. goal. “It’s clear we’ve got a lot of speed and a lot of talent, but I think this was a man’s game tonight: Canada-U.S.A., there’s no real explanation needed. I think all of them stepped up and played like men out there.”
