caught games last learn worst
Personally, I really don't try to look back on games too much. That's the worst thing to do, to get caught up in the way things went last game. I mean, for one, you can't look back on it and learn from that experience.
ball came caused game pressure row second turning
This is the second game in a row we came out turning the ball over. The pressure is probably what caused it. When you get in a game like this, you can't turn the ball over.
adam approach ask game job limit night player share throughout top whether whoever
(Guarding Morrison) isn't something you ask for. It's a job, whether it's Adam Morrison or whoever the top player is on the opposing team. It's something we do night in and night out. I'm going to approach it like I approach every other game. My job is to limit him as much as possible. I've had my share of experiences throughout the year. It's just another game for me.
games home lost three trip win
We've lost three games at home this year. To make up for that, we have to win on the road. We know what this trip means.
definitely easy felt game good head laying opponent reason saw won
I saw him laying there in tears. I felt for him a little bit. He has no reason to cry. He should definitely keep his head up. That's easy to say when you won the game and your opponent lost. But I just really wanted to see him still in a good mood.
definitely focused game nature water
We're definitely focused on Saturday. There was no dumping water or things of that nature. We're on a six-game mission, one game at a time.
against drive knew open relax second
I knew I couldn't relax for a second against him. I couldn't let him get open for a 3 or drive for a dunk, because I knew that would ignite their whole team.
behind crowd great heart start tears
It was great to start out like that. When you get the crowd behind you and you start like that, it tears the other team's heart out.
along definitely knew mind remain team top
I knew all along this team could be at the top and remain at the top, because we definitely have the personnel. If we put our mind to it, play 'D' and do all the right things, play for each other, we shouldn't lose.
five four longer playing primary reasons seemed worth
It was longer than four or five minutes, that's for sure. It seemed more like four or five hours. But it was well worth it. It's one of the primary reasons we're still playing right now.
bring free guys moving running screening team three watching wherever
It was kind of frustrating watching him bring his team back into it. He was doing a lot of moving and he had three guys screening for him. He was running free wherever he likes.
energy fortunate played
We just played with a lot of energy at the end. Obviously, it was desperation time. We were very fortunate tonight.
changed defensive good missing needed
We just needed to execute. We were getting good shots. We were just missing them. What changed was on the defensive end.
circumstance despite injuries laugh obstacles rehab team
This team is still very good, despite all the injuries, despite all the unfortunate circumstances and obstacles we've had to overcome. I still think we can win. All these injuries are tough, but all you can do is laugh at them, get in rehab and recover.
