cause games guess hit line missed open shots straight win
We missed (21) straight shots. You can't win games if you go through stretches like that. I don't know what the cause of it was. We had a lot of open shots but they just wouldn't go in. I guess that is how it is sometimes in the NBA. We just couldn't hit a thing. We were even going to the free-throw line and missed shots from there.
adjust games gave hard late learned playing points quarter rebound third tough
The third quarter did us in once again. We gave up 33 points in the third, and we couldn't get a rebound late in the game. Seventy-nine games into the season, we should have learned to adjust by now. It's a tough loss, but we have to keep playing hard because you don't what is going to happen.
game loss
Every game from here on out is a must-win. One loss could really be big for us.
bunch confidence everybody game guys hoping knowing team
We have a bunch of guys on this team who want to be here and everybody has confidence in each other. It's not like we're going out every game hoping that we can win. I think we're going into every game now with the confidence pretty much knowing that we can win.
excited fans fighting game huge lakers opportunity orleans pick playoff plus sneak
It'll be my first opportunity to play in New Orleans. I'm excited to get there and show the fans of New Orleans that we still play for them. Plus it's a huge game for us; the Lakers are fighting for a playoff spot, so we need to pick it up and sneak out with a win.
chance coach game half halftime intensity picked position second talked win
Our intensity picked up in the second half and at halftime coach told us that being in the position that we're in, we have to take this game seriously. I thought we buckled down defensively in the second half. We talked more. We got deflections. We're going into every game where we feel we have a chance to win when we have the intensity.

I was always into sports games. Never really played anything else. I grew up on games like Madden and NBA Jam.

It's a business now. But you still have little butterflies in your stomach before every game.

I grew up on games like Madden and NBA Jam, then moved on to NFL 2K on Dreamcast. The game I really loved was Virtua Tennis.
years games get-better
We showed why road games have been tough for us throughout this year. That's where we've got to get better. It's a learning experience.
exercise games today
Exercise and good nutrition helped make me what I am today and are critical in allowing me stay on top of my game.
along eventually happen saying tonight win
I've been saying all along that eventually it will happen (the triple-double) and thankfully, we got a win tonight to go along with it.
bothered points quarter season second throughout zone
We scored 31 points in the first quarter tonight, then 28 in the second half. The zone bothered us like it has throughout the season -- we couldn't make shots.
basketball beat eye great kids looked lying team
We told our kids that anything's possible. I'd be lying to you if I looked you in the eye and said we were going to come out here and beat Purdue. That's a great basketball team we just played.
