focused good mind sure team
Farrell was a really good team and we focused on them. But Aliquippa was in the back of my mind and I'm sure we were in the back of theirs.

Yeah, it hurt to lose those two playoff games lasts year. But this is another year. We're a better team than we were last year. We're more experienced. We just want to keep on playing.

My character, my mentality was shaped by the Boys and Girls club.

Live by the three, die by the three.
everybody running
It was fun. It was just running on instinct. Everybody out there could play.
good opportunity seemed
It seemed like it was the same as the D-League, just going out there and playing. It was good to get out there and get an opportunity to play.

We played well as a team tonight. When we play like we did tonight, we're tough to stop.

I wouldn't say I have to carry the team. If it ends up like that, so be it, but we have other players who can score.

I actually didn't know I passed 1,000 points until after the game on the bus. I'm just happy we won the game.
bit coming confidence hopefully playing
He wasn't playing the way I wanted him to play coming off the bench, so hopefully, this will jump-start him a little bit. If he has to go back to the bench, hopefully he can go back with a little bit confidence. I wouldn't even say confidence -- he's always confident.
