beat bunch continue detroit felt game key pay playing rebounds second team turned win won
We kind of beat ourselves. We didn't get key rebounds and we turned it over a bunch of times in the second half. A team like Detroit makes you pay for that. I think we're all disappointed. We wanted to win this game and felt like we should have won it. We just have to continue to play this way and hopefully, be playing in the postseason.
finishing games good improve job quarters starts teams
Finishing out games and finishing out teams is something we need to improve on. It starts by finishing out quarters and we did a good job of that tonight.

We can talk about it all we want, but until we do it, the problem is not going to be solved. It's our team, and we have to hold ourselves accountable and be ready to play every night. We just haven't done that.

We made a couple big plays, got a couple stops. That's what we need to do, have guys step up when it really counts with the game on the line. Hopefully, we're starting to build on something. We just need to stay focused and come to do it every night. We can't have any letdowns with the spot we're in right now.

We've just got to take care of home court, a place we haven't been very good this year. If we can go into the All-Star Game with a three-game winning streak, it definitely would help.

We learned how long a series is. Obviously, the series isn't over when you're down two games. They held their home court and we have to do the same.
best chore fortunate lack obviously players talented
We probably didn't get their best shot, but I don't know if it was because of a lack of energy. They're a talented team, and obviously they have one of the best players in the league. He's a chore for anyone, and we were fortunate enough to win.
