It's crazy in the East because are all one game away from being in the four spot or two games away from being in the fifth spot. It's impertinent that we win these games at home and show up on the road with a lot of energy.

You can't hold on to anything that's already happened in this league -- you just can't. We lost to a very good Dallas team that has a lot of weapons. Now it's time to look ahead at Chicago (29-37) and New Jersey, try to get these games and then we've got a tough road trip sitting there for us.

That has been our focus all year and now we're starting to feel comfortable playing defense. We have to keep turning it up. I think the difference is that we're trusting each other more than we did at the beginning of the season.
