I missed some shots that I normally make, and they really pressured me. It was tough, but when we play them again in April, we'll have some counters for what they were doing tonight.
It's great to win against probably the hottest team in the NBA. The game was very competitive and no one was going to back down from anyone.
No question, this is one of the best games we've played thus far this year, especially playing against a team that's been playing exceptionally well of late. We would like to see more of this. And I think we're getting there.
That's something I'm going to play over and over again in my head and say I should have gone with the left. I got to the basket. I really wanted to go for the three; I wanted to go for the win. But once I came off (the screen) I had attacked the basket. And I got a good shot. It just wasn't meant to be because I don't miss that too often.
This win is important for our confidence. Any game where we're down, we can always look back to this game and know that we did it against a good team and can pull it out.
I knew it wasn't my night. Coach told me a halftime to keep going. It was just getting into a rhythm.
I know Alonzo was saying that on the bench over and over and over.
I kind of knew I would try to come back. I didn't know how effective I would be because I couldn't feel parts of my leg.
I'm just trying to do what I can to help this team. We'll get back into it. Other guys will get back into the flow. It's a bump in the road.
I'm just trying to do what I can to help this team.
Everybody was calling. I think everybody called every player in the league. That's history right there.
That is what I am battling right now so I am trying to do everything I can to be ready to go for our next game, so I am battling right now.
They just played with more energy than we did. Our team was not as focused on defense as it should be. In the first two games we sent them into our big guys. Today, with Shaq in foul trouble, it was a different story.
They've got the curse on us that we've got on Washington right now.
