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.
coming executing goals good ourselves putting regular reward strong sweet
We had a good strong regular season. We accomplished some of the goals that we set for ourselves and now it's about going in here and buckling down, coming out executing defensively and offensively and really putting it all together, because the reward is sweet if we do.
convinced game win
We think we can win a game with our defense. We're convinced about that.
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.
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.
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.
defense four good happen point team tonight
Tonight we made it a point in the huddle that we weren't going to let that happen again. We're a pretty good team when we play defense for four quarters.
We all have to be on the same page,
despite fourth golden great quarter state team tough
We had a great fourth quarter defensively and that's what propelled us to the win. Golden State is a tough team despite their record.
defense motto relying reputation starting
We've been relying on the defense a lot more. That's starting to be the new motto for our team; starting to be our reputation now.
credit injuries johnson keeping strong team tough
Mentally, we are a very tough team right now. We don't let injuries or anything set us back. I credit (coach Avery Johnson ) for that, keeping us strong mentally. We're always prepared.
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.
head next
Next time, I won't give him a two-second head start.
