bad game good night turned winning
Winning this game was important. We turned a bad night into a good night.
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.
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 backs came character closing coming energy game grew home resilient says tons win
We really grew up, especially with that win in Game 3. We came in and our backs were against the wall. They came out with tons of energy at home and we were very resilient and got the win in Game 3. But that says a lot about our character coming in in Game 4 and really closing them out.
game good ground paint plan points stood win
Our game plan was to win the points in the paint and we did that. Utah's a good team. They're physical, they're aggressive, but we stood our ground tonight.
kids winning player
I am always playing hard trying to win. Just knowing that at one time I was once that kid that looked up to NBA players and NFL players. Today these kids look up me.
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.
