accomplish everybody falling feeling great hopefully nice plays running stretch team
We were out there having fun, playing, executing, running the plays and everything else was falling for us tonight. It's a great feeling to go out there and accomplish new goals. It's been a nice stretch for all of us as a team and hopefully we can keep it going in the right direction, everybody getting better.
feed gets guys
That's what I do. Guys tell me they feed off my energy. I see them celebrating before I even dunk, so I know that gets them motivated.
anyone continue hard might time
I might not have been happy, but at the same time I wasn't going to let anyone know that I wasn't happy. I was just going to play hard and continue doing what I was doing.
both concerned confident offense pass run shut strong
What we were concerned about with their offense was the pass. They've got a strong pass game, but we were pretty confident we could shut them down both on the pass and the run and we did it.
certain extra great pumped teams
I always wanted to come back and play here, and it was great for me. Certain teams are out there that you get extra pumped for, and (the Lakers) are one of those teams.
finding good knows nobody
We're just finding out how good we can be. Nobody really knows yet.
opportunity
For me it was all about opportunity. I never got an opportunity to play.
career defense everybody game good high next offense playing starts
It was my career high and I feel good about that. But I have to come out in the next game and do the same thing. The thing for me is just having fun. When I go out there and have fun, everything else comes to me. Offense comes, defense comes, and everybody else starts playing well.
advantage believing guys taking
I've got an opportunity, and right now, I am just taking advantage of the situation. I am getting more comfortable and the guys are believing in me.
dominant dominated everybody game laid looked needs tonight
Everybody needs a game like this especially after two consecutive losses. It looked like they may have laid down a little bit, but it's the NBA. You can come out and be dominated and tonight was a dominant night for us.
learning
It's going to take time. It's a learning process.
came defending great hard run stretch win
It's great because they're the defending champions. We went at them hard and did what we had to do to win this game. It came down to the stretch. They got a run and down the stretch we got big buckets.
feeling playing
It's feeling better, but I didn't feel comfortable playing with it tonight.
advantage games great guys players ride
It's a great gift. Those two guys come in and get us motivated, know how to take over the games for us and put players in the right position. Now that we've got them, so we're going to take advantage of them and ride them all the way.
