We got out of rotation and we paid dearly for it. We're not trying to take any moral victories ... we wanted to win. It's encouraging but we'd rather have that 'W'.

We had a good plan against a great player. We did a good job against him.

We wanted to control the pace. We didn't want to let them get any fast-break points like they did when we played in New Jersey.
against attack guys home
We wanted to attack them tonight. That's what they did so well against us at home earlier. We wanted guys to penetrate and go to the hole, which is what we did successfully tonight.

There's some players out there who are very deserving, with more wins. And that plays into it. If we had some more wins, then I think my chances would be really high.
