ball care deserved efforts good movement needed offensive played shots standpoint taking
They deserved to win. They played hard, they made big shots when they needed them and it probably wasn't one of our better offensive efforts from the standpoint of getting real good ball movement and taking care of the basketball.
dwight everybody good hold offensive quarter second shot shots third tony
Dwight and Tony got every rebound. They didn't get second and third shots like they were getting in the first half. Because they had everybody going for the offensive rebounds, we were able to get out and run. That's what the third quarter was all about. Good defense, hold them to one shot and get out and run.
bit game shots struggling tonight win
We don't win the game tonight without him out there. He made all the big shots when we were struggling a little bit offensively.
basically came defensive early game good guys offensive picked production second shots
I can't say enough good things about the bench. I thought early in the game we lacked energy. Guys came in and picked it up for us; picked up our defensive intensity. It was basically the same thing in the second half. We got good shots and good offensive production from our bench.
defense forget incredible physical shots
Forget about 81 points. To be able to get up that many shots and still play defense at the other end of the floor, that's a pretty incredible physical accomplishment.
came changed incredible percentage phenomenal second shot tempo transition
I really can't say enough about our second unit. I thought they came in and did a phenomenal job. They changed the whole tempo of the game. We shot an incredible percentage in that second quarter, but that was because we were out in transition most of the quarter.
shots struggling win
He made all the big shots when we were struggling offensively. He was fantastic. We don't win without him.
credit defense good heck offensive percent shoot shoots shots team tough
We couldn't make any shots and we didn't play very good defense in the first half, which got us in a hole. I give them credit - they're a heck of an offensive team. They're a tough team to guard. We shoot 38 percent and the other team shoots 53 percent, it makes it tough.
michael offensive shots
Michael Redd is an outstanding offensive player. He made some big shots down the stretch.
blocked changed factor knew quick shots
You knew he was long and would be a factor that way. But he has very quick reactions. He's a quick second-jumper. He has not only blocked a lot of shots but changed a lot of shots.
corner deep ends huge instead knocking shoot shot
That was a huge play. He ends up dribbling to the deep corner and knocking down the shot. We had some opportunities to shoot threes at the end but instead we shot twos.
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.
