front home nice turn
We have to turn it around and it'll be nice to be at home in front of our fans. We'll have a lot of energy.
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.
care defensive home supposed took
We're supposed to be a defensive team. We just didn't have it on that end tonight. It's not over. They took care of their home court. Now we have to go home and take care of our home court.
court held home learned series
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.
confident happen home series steal
It's a series now, 0-0, best-of-three. We still don't have home court, so we have to go down there and steal one. It's not just going to happen -- we're going to have to play our butts off -- but we're confident we can do it.
felt games home missed three win
All three games down here have felt like missed opportunities. Hopefully, we can go back home and win one and come back down here and try it again.
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.
