ball blow call continue determine either game great hard loose playing situations stop whistle
We've been playing great basketball. I think we're a loose ball or a stop away. The whistle can blow either way but . . . you don't want the game to get in those situations in which a call can determine a game. We need to continue to play hard and with a lot of energy. We'll be fine.

It's great coming out here and getting the first game of the road trip just to keep the doubters quiet for a second. We're looking forward to the challenge of playing the Clippers. This is exciting.
beginning difference focus playing scholars-and-scholarship starting trusting turning year
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.
bad difficult help helping kid maybe mean might playing question seeing
There might be a kid out there who has been through some bad things and maybe seeing me, someone who has been through the things I've been through will help them, ... I don't necessarily mean playing in the NBA. It can be school. It can be music. It might be helping other people. There are so many better things that you can do with your life. We all go through some difficult things, but once those things happen, the question is: How are you going to respond?

fell felt finding followed great job legs
It felt real good. I got my legs under me, I followed through, I really wanted that shot. Chucky did a great job of finding me, and it just fell a little short.
We have to play with the same tenacity. Nothing changes.
We need an almost-perfect game. Ain't that right, L.O.?

We've got to have it. Anyway, anyhow. We're going to win this basketball game.
