We just had to make some points about it. We've got to play our best basketball to win Game 1.

We are trying to win a championship. But we're in the first year of implementing a program.
consistency continues forward jason josh looking move terry win
We're going to win as a team. We're going to win when Dirk Nowitzki continues to move forward and Josh Howard and Erick Dampier and Jason Terry give the consistency I'm looking for.
bad basics chance friendly game gone helped last memory ourselves overall playing response road seem win
The road wasn't too friendly to us the last time. I'm already getting a bad memory. Hopefully, we'll have a better response on the road overall than the last game and give ourselves a chance to win by playing our system. But we've gone back to some basics that seem to have helped us.
happy kindness playing selves seven six stretch win
Dirk is playing tough. We had a stretch there where we kind of reverted back to our old selves and got jump-shot happy for six or seven possessions and I really got on them about that. But I will take this win any way we can get it.
home injuries regroup start streak winning
We have some injuries but so do they. We just have to regroup now and start another winning streak at home and on the road.
games giving land percent trying wherever win
You just play it out, because you're just trying to win as many games as you can. Wherever you land in the playoffs, you've got to go out and play anyway. I just couldn't see myself doing anything but giving 1,000 percent on the sideline.
awesome both fortunate game played teams win
We feel fortunate to get out of here with a victory. Both teams played awesome defense. I don't know if we win this game in the past. Now, we're a different team.
games row win
We haven't done anything. We can win 30 games in a row and what does that mean?
awesome basketball both defense fortunate game games gear offense ourselves played proved second teams win won
We are fortunate to get out of here with a victory. Both teams played some really awesome defense and we just couldn't get our offense in gear in the second half. This is another game that we proved to ourselves that we can win basketball games with our defense. I don't know if we would have won this game in the past. Now we are a different team.
field fortunate happen shoot three top win
We had three of our top scorers shoot 12-for-40 from the field, and that won't happen many nights. We were really fortunate to win this game.
definitely field games league percent playing points score shot step taken win
We're not playing any defense. They shot 55 percent from the field and score 56 points in the first half. You're not going to win many games in this league playing like that. We've definitely taken a step back in that area.
fortunate several win
We were fortunate to win for several reasons.
against days defense eleven fifth fortunate good played proud road scoring stops team twelve win
We were fortunate enough get some stops and play some tough, hard-nosed defense. This is the fifth win on a five-game road trip. We have been on the road eleven or twelve days and we played some pretty good defense against a team scoring 150, 120 and 115 points, so I am awfully proud of our guys.
