adversity bail came chemistry coming either slowly successful team together
When you go through adversity, either you are going to bail out or you come together. This team came together and got closer. I think that's why we're being so successful right now because we're so tight. I just think the chemistry is coming together slowly but surely. It is coming together more and more.
concern knew minute points six team
When you are up six points with a minute or so to go, a team can always come back. It is always a concern in this league, but we knew we could get this win.
ahead chicago dallas games good happened hold league lost road sitting team time tough trip
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.
defense fill forward guys help looking problems runs teams
Defense can help you get on some magnificent runs and put teams away. That's what we're looking forward to because we know we can score. We have a lot of offensive-minded guys that can fill it up so, if we get stops, we'll have no problems on the other end.
adversity character coach early face good great guys job people prepared revealed rotation stepped team
I think the character of this team has already been revealed in the face of adversity. Early on, when a lot of people were writing us off, I think we bounced back. Coach did a great job of getting the right guys out there, the rotation was good and we stepped up. Now this is another challenge. We've got to step up. It's a must that we go .500 or better, and I think we are prepared to do that.
finding good job rhythm stay teammates trying
I think it's just that my teammates are getting used to me and I'm getting used to them. Offensively, I'm just trying to stay in a good rhythm and a good flow. My teammates are doing a good job finding me in a rhythm, and I'm just doing what I know how to do.

Beating them earlier in the season at home gave us confidence coming into the game tonight. We felt like we were only a couple of possessions away from getting a win tonight.
challenge forward guys key ours time
This time all their key guys are going to be out there, but ours are, too. That's a challenge we look forward to.
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.?
