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.
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.
last talks word words
He talks all the time. I let him get the last word in. He's German, he's got words that I don't even know.
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.
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.
It doesn't get any easier. And we wouldn't have it any other way.
mind replay stick until
I still go through and replay it in my mind all the time. That's just something that's going to stick with me until we get through with this season.
bad game good night turned winning
Winning this game was important. We turned a bad night into a good night.
