best team
This is right up there with one of our best team efforts.
best came efforts everybody game guys team
This is right up there as one of our best team efforts of the season, especially having guys out. Everybody who came into the game contributed, and that's what we needed.
almost answer asked best corner guy mean specific standing trying
I was asked a specific question. It was almost like the guy asked me, 'Why are you standing in the corner not being aggressive, trying to get the ball?' I was trying to answer it best I could. I didn't mean it in any way.
foul grasp quite
I thought that I got pushed. I couldn't quite grasp the ball. I think that a foul would have been the right call.
confidence continue gain mature starting takes understand within
I think we continue to gain confidence within ourselves. We're starting to mature a little more and understand what it takes to be successful.
both flow good hopefully last offense sustain team
I think both the team and I have a good flow going on offense the last two nights. Hopefully we can sustain it.
brings kirk lose taking
Kirk is our catalyst, offensively and defensively. When you lose Kirk, you're taking a lot of intangibles, things he brings to the game.
early half second struggled tuesday
Just like Tuesday (against Dallas) we struggled early and in the second half we were able to make a run. It was just a little to late.
adjustment fad guys saw younger
I think it's going to be an adjustment for a lot of players. I saw some things about jewelry. That's a big fad for younger guys in the league.
aggressive answer asked standing trying
I think it was just a misunderstanding. I was asked why I was standing in the corner, not being aggressive and not trying to get the ball. I was just trying to answer the question.
playing waiting
He's been playing like himself. We've been waiting for that all season.
bring crowd disappoint game problem
We just have to bring it every night, especially at home. I don't know what our problem has been, but we can't disappoint our crowd like this. We have to show up for a game like this.
best john listened stand talk took
We took that to heart. John doesn't talk very often, but when he does, we try our best to listen. C-Du, he really listened to what John was saying, and he wouldn't stand down.
bumps felt games knew rest took
We took our bumps early. Some games when you're down, you're like, 'Uh, oh,' you get nervous. I don't know about the rest of the team, but I felt like I just knew we were going to win.
