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.
coach coming conference eastern knew mind
It was one of those nights. I knew an Eastern Conference coach was coming in here, so my mind was set already.
coach knew mentioned
Coach mentioned it to us but we knew this wasn't going to be a blowout.
believed kept knew stayed took
We took daggers early, but we knew if we stayed with it, we would come back. We just kept going at them, kept fighting, and believed in each other.
good might pressure tried win
We tried to pressure the ball, take him a little out of his game, and see if things might happen. It's a real good win for us.
against fighting gonna monkey number order win
We just need to win one in order to get the monkey off our back against them. They just have our number right now. But we're gonna keep fighting them.
defense effort extra fourth gave played quarter solid turned
We turned it on at the right time. We played solid defense all the way through, and in the fourth quarter we gave that extra effort and got the win.
beat fighting takes until
We're going to beat them once. That's all it takes - is one time. We're just going to keep fighting and fighting and fighting until we get 'em. That's all we can do.
edge help hopefully last playoffs sharp
We're going into the playoffs with an edge because we really had to be sharp the last 10 games. It's a whole new season, but hopefully that'll help us.
came confidence early high lane mistakes shot
The rook did (well). He came out and was confident. His shot was good; he got to the lane and did what he does in practice. (Jordan) let him play through mistakes early (in the season) and his confidence is high now.
develop draft drafted game screwed second twice within
It was a loophole, and I slipped through it, didn't I? (The new provision) sucks. We get screwed in the draft and go in the second round, and if we develop our game within the first two years, why do we get penalized? We're getting penalized twice for getting drafted in the second round.
bounce gone percentage
I used to be one bounce and shoot. My percentage has actually gone up. I used to be in the 70s and now I'm in the 80s.
moment special television time
First time on television, we won. It was a special moment for us.
