affects circumstance guys hurt quite
Under the circumstances, I think we are doing quite well. We are doing the same things as if we had all our guys healthy. Nothing really affects us. There are no excuses. Everyone is hurt in this league.
accepted coming guys hard playing roles talent tremendous
We have tremendous talent coming in off that bench. Guys have accepted their roles and they're just coming out and playing hard and aggressive.
believe deepest guys healthy position team top
I believe that, top to bottom, when we're healthy we have the deepest team in the league. We've got guys at every position and we're pretty versatile.
challenged couple guys looked open run shots
Avery challenged me at halftime. He told me to get aggressive. Guys looked for me, I got a couple of open shots and Dirk put us on his back in that run in the third.
extra guys knocked open stay
Guys were making the extra pass. I was open and knocked them down. We wanted to stay aggressive.
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,
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.
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.
