All three did pretty well at following their man, although obviously Mike's time and Quinn's time was limited. I was very impressed how Andre stayed with Ross off the ball and denied him the ability to get the ball in a position to score (there was one glaring exception to this, when Andre unwisely helped inside and Ross got a three from the corner, but overall, I though Andre looked very good in this regard).
Put another way, it's possible that the fact that Andre was only involved in seven plays that you noticed (while spending much of the game guarding one of Washington's most dangerous players) might in and of itself be an indicator of good defense.
I thought I remembered Quinn getting beat a couple times one-on-one in the first half ("bad SIF," in your lingo), but you don't list anything like that. I also remember the time Gaddy blew by him in the second half that you do mention. It's possible I am remembering incorrectly, but several posters in the post-game thread mentioned the same thing, so I'm not sure.
