More importantly than putting together a string of victories is being able to play consistently on both ends of the floor. Tonight was the first step toward blending good defense and good offense.

When you make a few mistakes, it hurts, it's glaring. But I can't control it. I can only continue to play hard. That's what I do best. Other people may not have confidence, but as for me, I know what I can do. I'll be the first one to tell you when I mess up, when things don't go right.
