execution fights-and-fighting kept proud teach using
I was happy. I was proud of our young guys. They just kept fighting. I was using it to teach execution to young guys.
control fight good great happen jersey kept nice took win
That was a great win for us. We had control of it at times, but you know New Jersey is going to fight back because they are so talented. I thought it was nice that when they did fight back, and took the lead, we kept our composure. We kept fighting, and good things happen when you do that.
allowed changed four game kept key moving small stretch whoever
I thought we changed the game and we went small with four smalls and one big. It allowed us to stretch the floor, and pick-and-roll. Whoever it was, the key was we kept moving the ball.
bench biggest deep extended fantastic kept lead point second
The biggest point for us was when we went deep into the bench in the second quarter. We kept the lead and we actually extended the lead, and you see how young the bench is. Gerald was fantastic in the first half.
besides chance execution happy kept obviously proud teach win
It was an interesting game, I'll say that. I was really happy besides the ending. I was just really proud of our young guys. They just kept fighting. I obviously thought we had a chance to win the game. I just wanted to teach execution to the young guys.
burn four guys halftime kept open quarter reason shots soft third though three won
We just kept scratching. I told our guys at halftime that I thought our first half was as soft defensively as we'd been all year. And we started our third quarter out the same way. They got three or four open shots and I had to burn two timeouts but then I thought our bench, even though they were outscored in a big way, was the reason we won the game.
ball found game great guys kept moving open swing trap until won
I thought we won the game because of great ball movement. That's how you play at the end of a game. If they trap you, swing it, and the ball kept moving until it found the open guy. You could see our guys at the end were getting into the ball movement.
gets
When he gets it going like that, I don't know what you can do.
everybody great job pitch
With Wally going out, everybody had to just pitch in. Everyone did a great job of it.
close pierce reason
Pierce is one big reason for (winning close games) and Gomes has been on an unbelievable roll.
aggressor fell heels
It fell apart. They attacked. I thought they were the aggressor and I thought we went back on our heels a little bit.
becoming continuing focus people team win
I think Paul's team play enabled us to win on this trip. He's been great. I think people will focus on his scoring, but he's done so many other things. We are continuing to improve. We are becoming a team.
besides defense fourth might nice played quarter ricky turned worst
It is nice when you are a scorer like Ricky and you can make a contribution in another way besides scoring. That first quarter might have been the worst defense we played all season, but they turned it around with the way (Davis and Pierce) played in the fourth quarter.
belong carter dangerous guys jason league three win
I think they belong under the dangerous category. I just look at the three guys ? Vince Carter Jason Kidd, and (Richard) Jefferson. There's no better combination in the league at 1, 2 and 3. When you have that in the league you can win big.
