defense definitely needed playing scoring tyson
That was definitely needed for this team. He was playing like Tyson can, getting rebounds, playing defense and scoring some points.
bottom court definitely gotten home point rookie
It hasn't gotten to the point where it was like my rookie year, where we were getting booed every game, but it's definitely something we have to correct. It's just something we haven't done. We have to play a lot better on the home court -- that's the bottom line.
care definitely game good home winning
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.
against challenge definitely great hard players playing
I try to get up for the challenge of playing against great players all the time, and he's definitely one of the elite. So we'll go out there, play hard and see what happens.
against aggressive definitely felt good tried
We felt like we got good looks. I think they definitely made adjustments. They tried to be a little more aggressive against our pick-and-roll game. But with all that said, we just didn't do a good enough job.
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.
anybody good job mental mentality remember talk toughness
We talk a lot about mental toughness and the mentality of approaching the game, and we've done a good job with it. I can't remember anybody not being ready, and we just have to keep doing it.
looking shot taking tried whether
We just tried to be more aggressive, especially on our pick-and-rolls. It was also about just making plays, whether it was taking my shot or looking for other people.
coming describe everybody game knows ready
We weren't ready. I don't know how to describe it. It's unfortunate. Everybody coming in knows how big a game this is, so to not be ready is unacceptable.
felt gets good shots
We have to find a way to score. We felt like we got good looks. I thought my shots were going in. When they don't, it just gets frustrating.
felt good
We have to find a way to score. Offensively, we just have to tighten some things up. We felt like we got good looks.
great plays
We showed that we could make plays on them. But they made a great play at the end.
hopes playing time turn week
The time is now. We have to do it now, or in a week or two we could be out of it and not playing for anything. If we have any hopes of being in the playoffs, we have to turn it around.
loose
They all got loose on us in the fourth.
