The whole series was kind of an embarrassing moment. They didn't just beat us by two or three points in the games they won. They beat us by, like, 20. That's embarrassing.
We have to keep shooting. We had our bad shooting game out there tonight. So we are bound to have a good shooting night.
I wasn't going to miss no time, not in a game like that.
I think in certain situations last year and the year before last I would have tried to take that shot with three people on me. But I've seen even if I don't shoot the ball to win the game, I can win the game by passing it out of a double team.
We can build some confidence and we can build off the way we played in the first three quarters. We ran pretty well tonight. Maybe not as well as we wanted to, but we ran pretty well. Next game we can go out and try to do a couple of more things than we did.
We have seven games on the road coming up. If we can win at least five of those games on this trip, it will define us as a team.
Tonight we stuck to our game plan which was to get out in the open court. We just needed to get back to playing basketball and having fun.
We knew that it was a division game and we wanted to win it and we showed that.
That's probably one of the best games I've played in. That's a good memory.
Every night for the last week and a half has been tough. We wait for the last 12 to 15 minutes of the game to try and battle back, but by that time it's too late.
It's a special day to be playing on. I can pay my respect to the man. I dedicate the game to him.
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.
I was edgy my first two games just to get out there and start my career. You saw me settle down more than I did the first two games.
I think we just came together seeing we were down. We couldn't lose our first game after the (All-Star) break so we had to focus in and we did a good job of that.
