careless defense deserved
Some of it was Chicago's defense and some of it was us being careless with the ball. They deserved to win. It was not one of our better efforts.

Since we made the changes, this group just really enjoys playing together. They're sharing the ball and pulling for each other. No one cares who gets the credit.

My father always told me just worry about the things you can control and don't worry about anything else. I can't control the number of games we play. As long as we keep playing the way we're playing, that's the most important thing to me.

You have to play with the people you have, ... We can't use injuries, whether it's injuries to Grant or anybody else, as an excuse. We still have players here that are going to play hard and play within our system and play together as a team.
ball basketball care felt moving second
What was discouraging to me was our turnovers in the second half. We felt like all we had to do was take care of the ball and keep moving the basketball and we'd be all right, but we got a little impatient.
