The ball got deflected and if it was anybody else, I don't think they would have caught that ball. There's only a few people in this world who would have caught that ball where he did, and there may not be anybody.
It's still a little weird, knowing that he's gone now. Every time I flip on the TV and see him in that (New York) uniform, I just laugh. I understand that this is a business, and I know that we did what we did for a reason. But it still feels weird.
Steve told me to keep shooting and he's the team leader. When he tells you to keep shooting, you keep shooting. I know he's going to keep shooting, so if he tells me to, why not?
They keyed on Steve so much, they left me wide open. He told me to keep shooting, keep shooting. I know he's going to keep shooting, so why not?
It was great playing with Steve because he complements your game. He's out there getting rebounds, assists and steals. He fills up the stat sheet.
I made some free throws down the stretch. However I missed some earlier and I had to redeem myself. We are not through yet, we are only five back with 11 to go.
A road winning streak. Who'd have thought we'd hear that?
Every game, the team gets better. Everybody's getting better, individually and collectively.
Every game counts from here on out. And whether we get to the playoffs or not, (the goal is) just to get better.
It was unbelievable. It's scary because he's only going to get better.
Coach (Brian Hill) got on us when we were down 11-1. Then we're up by eight (points) and then the second unit came in and we were up 12, and we just kept feeding off of that. You have to outwork the opposing team regardless of who you're playing.
People can talk about playoffs, playoffs, but we're just trying to get better. If we don't make the playoffs and just carry it onto next season, this is good.
I am happy that we fought. But when you fight, that doesn't mean you are going to win the game. I feel like I'm starting to get my rhythm now.
