amazing game guy won
He's amazing and I think he's the guy that won the game tonight.
game matter start
We just have to start winning. Every game is important. We still have chances. We're still in the race. Win, no matter how. That is all there is to it.
everybody good ready win yesterday
We had a day off yesterday and I think everybody had a good day off and was ready for the game. For the most part I'm excited, especially to win the game.
ball beat denver fast forced forget push run worked
We started to push the ball and beat Denver at their game. They like to run a lot and sometimes they forget about defense. So we kind of forced them to get back with fast attack. I think it worked well.
fourth game opportunity quarter tremendous
We had an opportunity to keep (the lead), but Dirk had a tremendous game and in the fourth quarter he just killed us.
good orlando point
He's great. Orlando has got a good point guard.
ball broke fighting forced game half playing pushed third zone
I think we forced them to play our game in the third quarter. The first half was kind of just fighting back and forth. Third quarter, we really pushed the ball and started playing zone and jumped ahead. I think we kind of broke them in the third quarter.
offense playing putting rebounds rushing seconds
I think we just started rushing at the end and putting up a lot of jumpers. They were getting rebounds and playing 24 seconds of offense each possession.
defense fast playing stopping
I think we just started playing defense the way we should play it. We just started stopping them on the fast break.
good job orlando seattle team though tough
I think we did a pretty good job as a team tonight. Especially after those kind of tough nights, the Seattle (loss on Sunday) and the Orlando game, even though we got a 'W,' it was frustrating in the end.
four
Four more games. We still have a chance, so let's fight.
fourth free game line throw
From the line I was concentrating. I was a machine. I like scoring, especially from the free throw line, especially in the fourth quarter, especially with the game on the line.
bad chance good win
We don't have a good chance (to make the playoffs), it's a bad chance. But we have a chance, which is good. We have to win a lot of games, but we still feel like we can do it.
chasing finally fourth hard intimidate miami orlando quarter teams
We have to play hard and not let teams intimidate us in the first quarter like Miami and Orlando did. You have to keep chasing and chasing. Finally in the fourth quarter when you've got them, you have no energy.
