court games happen home last lost means playoffs six year
During the playoffs the home court means a lot. Last year we didn't have it and lost in six games to Phoenix. We don't want that to happen again.
continue defense games league reason regular season sky teams three top win work
We were one of the top three teams in the league during the regular season for a reason. I think if we continue to get better, work on our system, win games with our defense and hey, the sky is the limit.
love-you games
You've got to love the game and the game will love you back.
games dedicated disrespected
I dedicated myself to the game and never disrespected it.
games night position remaining trying
All the remaining games (12) are important. We're jockeying for position every night trying to get the No. 1 seed.
again came continued fourth needed won
We won it again with our defense. In the fourth quarter, we needed stops. We continued to get stops, we rebounded and came back down on the other end and executed.
game took
It was two heavyweights. The game was there for us, but they took it. Give them credit.
situation time
I've been in that situation time in and time out,
defensive gave guess percent
We're disappointed in our defensive effort. We gave up 50-some percent (53.2) shooting. I guess that's first-game jitters.
character contained defining definitely pleased stops team towards year
We're definitely pleased with the way we contained him. The defining character of a championship team is getting stops when you need to and that's something we've been working towards all year long.
broke call came defense exactly good halftime quarter shoot start talking third whatever
We came into halftime talking about getting out to a good start in the third quarter and whatever we had to do to make them call the first timeout. That's exactly what happened. Devin broke down the defense and I did what I do, just shoot the ball.
confident great practices
We've had great practices for late-game situations. We're very confident down the stretch.
ball bodies catch definitely game last late playing time
That was the game plan. We put a lot of bodies around him. Every time he would catch the ball we had a double-team on him to get the ball out of his hands. He's been playing well of late and we definitely didn't want him to put up 30 like he did last week.
bounce builds camp cuts finding high likes season short starts throwing
Me making the short pass, the bounce pass, throwing it up high just finding out where he likes the ball. That's what camp is about. It cuts down on turnovers once the season starts and builds his confidence.
