gave hug mix proud throw water
We thought we'd mix it up a little bit. Sometimes we throw water on him. Sometimes it's Gatorade. This time, we just let it be and gave him a hug and said congratulations. But we're very proud of what he's done.
brother caught older
I think we caught them off-guard a little bit. It was kind of like an older brother/younger brother kind of thing.
against bit games noticing scouting seen struggled teams
I think we will see a little bit more of that now. Some of the games we've struggled in, we've seen match-up zones. So teams are scouting us, noticing that. But I think the more we see, the better we'll get against it.
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.
took
We took them out from what they wanted to do.
great played
From what I hear, it's a great atmosphere, and they played us very well at home. We need to be strong.
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.
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.
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 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.
considered great guess happens highest last time
If it happens for more years down the road, I guess it would be considered a rivalry. But they're a great team, and every time we play them, it's going down to the wire, to the last possession. It was intense; it was heated. It was at the highest level.
