easy everybody force hitting playing score supposed team
With that lineup, I'm supposed to be scoring. (But) I didn't try to force anything. I really didn't have to go out there and score -- everybody was hitting shots, getting easy baskets and playing team defense.
takes whatever win
When the game's important you don't want to lose. You have to win so you do whatever it takes to win.
great hot job knew pressure team tried
We're stunned, too. We did a great job for a team that doesn't give up. We knew it was going to be a hard-fought game. We just tried to keep the pressure on. We were just hot tonight.
knew matter
We had to come out and get back on track. We knew they were going to be tough, no matter who they had. We had to come out and play it all the way to the end.
basketball energy floor good looking toward
Those players, they have a different way of playing. If they're looking at you and you're not with them, they think you're a failure. So I told Kwame he has to go in and use that energy toward the basketball floor to get in good with those guys.
We said 'what's up' to each other. It's all good.
against hand limit win
We said we were going to keep him off his right hand and he went right all night. That's why he had a triple-double against us in his debut. If he's going to have a triple-double, they are going to win the game. We have to limit what he does to win this series.
fighting
We're not in yet. We are still fighting to get in, every night.
feet hit people somebody
We just have to live with it. He was 28 feet away and he hit it with somebody in his face. There aren't very many people who can hit that shot.
hard home kicked rhythm second
We've been on the road, so when you come back it's hard to get that home rhythm that you are used to. It kicked in during the second half.
everybody glad hurts kindness missing sweet tough toughness
We've been missing that kind of toughness from our lineup. When you are missing one of your enforcers, his sweet jumper and his tough defense, it hurts us. Everybody is glad to have him back.
fourth half losing patch quarter second
We've been losing it in the second half and the fourth quarter lately. We just need to find a way to patch things up.
felt stopped
you can't be stopped and you don't think you can be stopped. That's how I felt tonight.
five january
We have five winnable games. They're not going to be easy. We've got to go out there and play. January will tell what we're about, what we're made of. We just need to do some soul-searching and come in with some heart.
