calls inside instead looking physical played playing
(North Branford) played well. They're physical inside and we were looking for calls that we weren't going to get instead of just playing hard.
both good past played team three trying
Over the past three years or so, it's really become a good rivalry. They've had a good team and we've had a good team. And we've played some good games. (Tonight) I think at first we were both trying to feel each other out. It made for a low-scoring game. We like to play faster, but under control. At times we got out of control.
half hold played second tried
We played pretty well defensively in the second half and tried to hold their scorers down a little bit.
break calm came found needed played press
We needed to calm down and break their press. We came out, found the way through the press and also played a lot better on defense.
couple expect foul game kyle played solid
Kyle played big for us down the stretch, not just with the foul shots, but a couple of big rebounds. He had the kind of game you'd expect out of your second-leading scorer. He's been pretty solid for us this season.
game matt pressure quickness stellar stepped takes three
They just stepped up big time. Matt had a stellar game tonight. He used his quickness and he rebounded big for us. Duncan had a big game too. That takes so much pressure off the other three guys.
beat game good last sure year
They beat us at our place last year and we beat them at theirs. I'm sure it will be another good game when we see them at their place.
bring deterrent people
We think most people won't use the test, but it will be a deterrent because they will bring it up.
continue downward top
There's only one place to go when you're up top and that's down. We just didn't want to continue that downward spiral.
few game good hard mistakes next plays ready tonight win
(Westbrook) plays hard and they don't quit. This is the kind of game where you get in and you think you're just going to win it and then you make a few mistakes and you're not going to have a good game. We wanted to show tonight that we can play and to get ready for the next game.
games since team won
It's been a while since a team has won it back-to-back. We've got two games to go to do it. We'll give it a shot.
adjust easy inside took
They didn't make it easy for us inside and that's our game. They took that away and we didn't adjust to it.
best game
It was our best game of the year.
hold ready second tight win
We're getting a little tight because it's getting down to the end and we know we have to win to hold first or second place and we're just not ready to do it.
