against dream enjoyed kid playing time
Every time it's a new experience. I've enjoyed it every time I've come back. It's always a dream come true. As a kid you always dream about playing as a Sonic. I'm playing against them, but I'm still playing on that same court.
came eyes feed game hitting momentum playing
(Memphis) had that look in their eyes like it was going to be their night. But we started to feed off the crowd, and the momentum started to shift. ... I was just playing the game as it came to me. I was just hitting some shots.
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.
home mean playing
That doesn't mean anything right now. That's where we want to be in April. We're going to come back hungry. We know what we're playing for. ... We have to get home court.
chemistry defense fun playing trying
We're playing well together, the chemistry is there. We're very focused. We're trying to get better on defense every night. You can see the effort. It's fun. We're having a lot of fun out there playing basketball.
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.
deal great playing
We aren't going to back down from anyone. We're playing with a great deal of confidence.
good maverick motivated needed playing whatever
Avery is a winner. Whatever he has to do to get us motivated to get back to playing good Maverick basketball, that's what needed to be done.
best playing seen since
An animal. He is playing like a beast. He is playing real aggressive. This is the best I have seen him play since he's been in the league.
convinced game win
We think we can win a game with our defense. We're convinced about that.
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.
challenged goal good knew mission ourselves played quarters solid three win
We were down big and it was just real gutsy for us to be able to come back. We challenged ourselves in the huddle. We knew we hadn't played good 'D' at all, and for three quarters there we played lock-down, solid defense. That was huge, it was big for our confidence. That was our mission and our goal going into this trip, to win each game, and we did that.
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.
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.
