I knew I wasn't going to come in here and get 20 rebounds. Boxing out a guy like him is really a tough job.
(The guards) make the other team take tough shots, make it hard on the 3-point line. They have just done a great job guarding (against 3-pointers).
You've got to be on edge. With those guys, if you don't block them out, they're going to dunk on your head.

You could just see it in their face. When we see they're tired - we're in great shape, so we aren't going to get tired. That's when we go in for the kill.
The guards were supposed to pop out and get the ball, but it didn't work out that way. We just didn't execute that well.
