Atlanta Hawk Dwight Howard after 36 point loss to Detroit; Record (10-10) -
“We’ve got to stay positive,” Howard said. “We can’t make excuses. Stay together. Don’t put our heads down and things will change. This little thing we are going through now, even though we don’t want to, I think it’s best we are going through it now and not at the end of the season. All the things we need to clean up, offensively and defensively, are being exposed right now. It gives us time to work on it. So come playoff time and later on in the season, we’ll have all that down pat. The best thing we can do now is not hold our heads, keep positive, speak life into the situation and keep pushing.”

"It's tough, but we can't quit," Howard said. "It's super early in the season and you don't want to get too far behind, but at the same time we got to stay positive. We can't hold our heads and allow this obstacle to overcome [us]. We have to overcome it and believe. We can't stop believing."
