gear half intensity last loss quarter shift stay win
We always say that one win can get you going and that one loss can get you going the other way. We just have to shift into another gear like we did in the last quarter and a half and come at with the same intensity and stay at that intensity.
aware gets though win
We said it in pre-game that even though they've been down and we've been doing pretty good, the way they are now is how we were at one point. Just one win gets it going and we were very aware that they could get it going.
depleted game goes half heart injuries knew last miami run second team took win
We knew it wasn't going to be easy. They are a very competitive team and always have been. I think it took Miami a 16-0 run in the second half to win the game last night. They are so depleted with injuries and my heart goes out to Bernie.
bulls dribble game good job knew plan run stay team though type wings
Even though we were up 20 at halftime, we knew the Bulls would make a run at us. That is the type of team they are. They are a disciplined, well-coached team. Our game plan was to get up in the wings and stay with the dribble penetration, and we did a good job with that.
games second start winning
We just want to go out and play the way that we did in the second quarter. We need to start winning these games on the road.
against good overall press productive tonight win
Tonight was a good win but we were not as productive overall as I would have liked. We just had too many turnovers against their press and their scrambling defense.
bit clear distracted good head jersey job picking stepped time unit winning
New Jersey stepped up when winning time came. They did a good job of picking their spots. I thought we got a little bit disjointed, a little bit distracted and we didn't have a clear head as a unit to get it done tonight.
almost basketball brand chance deal deep gods guys learn playing road season shots team terrific three tie trying veteran win
I thought to win on the road is a big deal in the NBA, the season opener, almost a brand new team for us, ... We're trying to learn how to play with each other. We're a very deep team, a very veteran team and I'm just trying to find the right combinations out there with guys who are playing well, so it is a terrific win. They had a chance to tie it with three shots at the end and the basketball gods were with us.
chance experience good last ourselves winning year
It is good that we had the experience last year of going down 0-2 and winning the series. We don't want to do that this year. We don't think that is a good formula. I think we are going to show up better and give ourselves a better chance of winning.

He's had it going from outside ever since January. It looked like it was going in. I thought we fought hard and we gave ourselves a chance to win at the end, which is all you can ask for.

He was out there tonight with a bum knee playing defense and being the quarterback for us. His will to win is why the great ones are great.
emerged fighting leader leads major paint score stretch team verbal wants win
He wants to win - that is his No. 1 priority. He is a leader for this team in a different way. He is not loud, verbal or demonstrative, but he leads by gutting it out and fighting for rebounds. He can score from the outside, in the paint and on runners. He has emerged as a major leader for us during this stretch of games.
cannot challenge discipline finish full good impatient next organized playing position reason season strong talked tonight win
This was a good win for us tonight. We were competitive and were more organized down the stretch. Tonight we talked about not being impatient on defense, and playing each position for the full 24 seconds. There is no reason why we cannot play like this for the next 21 games. That is our challenge - to finish the season strong and to play with discipline like we did tonight.
