past share sweet three
I don't think it's going to be all pretty and sweet like it has been the past three games. I've made my share of mistakes, but the thing that I want to do is get better.
took
We took them out from what they wanted to do.
gave line
I actually thought they gave us the timeout. But I'll take J.J. at the line any time.
great knew
He knew that he was going to get the record, and so did we. He's such a great shooter, he was going to get that couple.
expect four hit knew missed
J.J. is going to get the looks. Sure, he missed his first four 3-pointers, but we knew he'd come back and hit the shots. We expect him to hit them and we look for him all the time.
confident early feeling four great hit knew looks misses potential problems row whenever
He had some great looks early and he'll be the first one to tell you that. He has been feeling confident in practice, so we knew he was going to have a break-out game. Whenever he misses four in a row you know he has the potential to hit four in a row. We had no problems with his misses.
good guy proud
You always see these things in highlights-coming up, you know, 20 years ago this guy did this record. To be a part of it and to have him be such a good guy as well as teammate, it's something that he's really proud of and I know that we're really proud of him.
ball careless fight hard played throw value
We played so hard defensively to fight for that ball and then for us to be so careless and throw it away, we didn't value the ball.
defense enthusiasm good knew lacking last needed playing truth
We needed to get angry. We weren't playing well the last two games, and at times we were lacking enthusiasm. But we knew the truth about us and that we would could come out and play good defense and win.
good stopped
Up five, I thought we were in good shape, but then we stopped making shots.
best defensive player
He's the best defensive player in the country.
confident couple good
I'm excited. It's good for us. We've been there a couple of times and we've had success. We're pretty comfortable there. We feel confident in that place, with the setting, the rims, the court, everything.
bad coach couple decision demands guys stand talking
I let a couple of guys get by me, and then made a bad decision on offense. Coach isn't going to stand for that, and I don't want it either. He demands perfection, and I do, too. We were just talking about getting it together.
battle both deserved game lose nobody shame teams
It was a battle for 40 minutes. Nobody quit. It was a shame that one of the teams had to lose because it that kind of game where both teams deserved to win.
