allow fought point
We got a little dejected at that point and we fought back, but we can't allow those things to be unsettling,
ball expect good guard job knows people point supposed understanding
Carlos, having been a point guard his whole life, just has an understanding of where the ball should go. He's going to get the ball to the right people and knows when he's supposed to keep it himself. I don't expect him to go 7-of-11 every night, but he did a very good job tonight.
combined points
Sixty-two points combined out of their backcourt -- that's who they are.
defense doubt everybody excellent game home obviously phoenix pleased point team tough wins
Home wins are huge, no doubt about it. We got excellent contributions from everybody at some point in the game and I was obviously pleased with our defense at the end. Phoenix is a tough team to defend.
against attacking certainly chance constantly defense explode gives guys hope night points pound tough toughest
He's one of those guys who any night can explode for 40 or 50 or -- you certainly hope not -- 60 points against you. He's so tough because he's constantly attacking and he never really gives your defense a chance to relax. And pound for pound he's probably the toughest guy in the league.
control difficult points team tempo
When you get down 20 points to a team like Houston, it is difficult because of the way they can control the tempo of the game.
course everybody excellent good obviously point time win
This was obviously a real good win for us tonight. I thought we just really got excellent contributions from everybody at some point and time during the course of the game.
happen man players point
Getting a young big man and a point guard, that doesn't happen very often. So to be able to do that in one-fell swoop and get two players you like is good.
bench nights points
To get 67 points from your bench ... there are nights when we don't get 67 as a team.
move sure
I'm sure we'll be able to move forward.
early gotten guys job liked sure thinking
I'm sure the guys would have liked to have gotten more rest. But if you're thinking that way, you come out and get the job done early and we didn't get the job done early tonight.
holding looked pain saw sure
I'm sure it's discouraging for him. He looked to me that he was having some pain and I didn't want to take any chances. I saw him wincing out there and holding his midsection. It didn't make sense for him to continue. I know he's down.
engage sometime sure
I'm sure sometime (today), we'll engage in discussions about that,
chicago credit gave guys honest reflected sure
I'm sure our guys were disappointed about not being in the playoffs, but I don't think it reflected in our play. They gave an honest effort, but just didn't play as well as we've been playing. But let's give Chicago some credit because they made some big shots.
