We knew they were going to make a run but we kept our composure and finished off the game. It was a great game out there.
Wally hit some big shots and they got some easy baskets.
We still got a great chance to make this road trip real special. Finish a road trip like this 5-2 is a real good road trip for us.
The past two days, George (coach George Karl ) has been stressing that if the playoffs were today, this is who we'd play. We wanted to make a statement right away and tell them this is what they'll see if they play us.
Our team needed me out there to get some things done on the offensive end and the defensive end. At halftime, I just told (the team) it's time for me to wake up.
They started trash talking out there. It woke us up. We started to get up and down the court. ... I was pointing at the Memphis TV guys. They was talking trash, too.
You saw us playing the way we have to play down the stretch. The way we must play the rest of the way.
You're kind of embarrassed when you lose like that.
They are scaring a whole lot of teams.
There was no way I could have taken the final shot tonight. They had three people right there, and Earl Watson was wide open.
As a team, we didn't forget about him. Probably the fans and somebody else forgot about him.
Now I do. I never really listened to them (before). Just seeing their merchandise and listening to them here and there (has given him an appreciation).
They shot . . . near 80 percent out there. Everybody had a hot hand. It was hard to adjust our defense to everybody out there.
They're trying to bring the whole team. I wouldn't be surprised if they bring (former Cincinnati coach Bob) Huggins up here.
