bring chances control effort game games moment seize win
Every game our chances are getting slimmer and slimmer. We just have to seize the moment and win games that we have control over. We've got to bring our 'A' game every night. Especially our effort, we have to have the same effort consistently every night.
everybody game good hopefully momentum
It was real good game for us. Everybody got to play and hopefully we can use it for some momentum in (Wednesday's) game.
behind build chance message momentum send
It's a chance to send a message ... that we're right behind you guys; we're on your tails. I think if we go in there and get that 'W', we'll build momentum and we'll be fine.
momentum
When we go down to Miami, we've got to keep the snowball going. We've got momentum going. We've got confidence. So we've got to keep it up.
momentum
When we go down there, we've got to keep the snowball rolling. We have momentum right now. We have confidence. So we need to keep that up.
doubt knew left time
I knew it was good. Any time I get in those situations, I just tell myself, 'I'm going to make this shot.' When it left my hand, I had no doubt it was going to go in.
bad definitely game games mistake necessary road tough win
This is definitely a game where we can win and where we'd be making a very bad mistake if we don't come out and do the necessary things to win. This is a tough road trip, and the games you can win, you definitely have to get.
nights quarter rarely
It's not a big concern. We rarely have a quarter like that. It was just one of those nights when we couldn't make a basket.
continue defensive doubt good key last maybe mind scoring team year
It's no doubt in my mind I can be a starter, but that's not my role. It wasn't our scoring that got us there. We didn't have any all-stars. It was our defensive intensity. That's the key to this team being successful. You got to continue to do that and we can be good as last year and maybe better.
time
I'm just going to take as much time as I need to heal.
found halfway people point saying season sure team tonight turning
I'm not sure what the turning point for our team was, but halfway through the season we found our identity. I know tonight people were saying we didn't have much to play for, and we could have been lackadaisical, but we don't want to have any lapses. We want to keep getting better.
easy touches
Not as many touches as I wanted. It's pretty easy to play someone who doesn't have the ball.
bit kept lost quick sure trying
It was a combination of a lot of things that we don't even know. We lost a little bit of our swagger, we lost a little bit of our confidence. I'm not sure really what it was. We kept trying to find it and kept trying to find it, but we couldn't find it quick enough.
ball good job
They did a good job of getting the ball out of my hands.
