close defensive good nowhere supposed
Defensively, we were nowhere close to being good enough. That's what we're supposed to be?a defensive team. We just didn't have it tonight.
believe blowing coming early games last loss night
They were coming off a big loss last night and we had them on the ropes early in the game. But that's been our M.O. this year. We've got to believe in ourselves. We can't keep blowing opportunities to win games like tonight's.
shots starting
I thought all of my shots were going in. When they didn't, it starting getting frustrating.
bit plays stop
I thought we got a little bit stagnant, and they were able to make plays when they had to. We couldn't stop them when it counted.
appreciate definitely healthy hope soon
I think we definitely appreciate the win, especially being short-handed. I think we appreciate it more. I hope we can get healthy as soon as possible.
basically bullied paint
(James) was able to get in the paint and basically do what we wanted. He just kind of bullied us.
blow chance continue gotta
I think it can be done. We gotta believe. But we won't have a chance if continue to blow opportunities like this one.
beat came felt win won
I think it came down to that we beat ourselves. We wanted to win this game, and we felt like we should have won this game.
approach half played tried upset
I was just real upset with the way I played in the first half and the way things were going. I just tried to approach it like it was a new game.
great level raised
He's been unbelievable. He's been great all season, but he especially has raised his level of play down the stretch.
competing fighting group harder start together
We have to be able to make adjustments during the game. When things aren't going as well as we would like them to, we (need) to come together as a group and start competing harder ? that's when you should start fighting harder.
bench games gave helped played
Our bench gave us a big lift, which really helped with all the games we've played recently.
efforts normally second third
Our close-outs have been bad. We haven't been making the second and third efforts that we normally make.
attacking knew relentless
He was relentless attacking the basket. Guarding him is not a one-man job, and we knew he was going to score.
