fought half hard second teams totally
We were two totally different teams out there from the first half to the second half. We fought hard and got back into it.
defensive except explain ready team
I don't know what they shot, but we're a defensive team and should have had it on that end tonight. I really don't know how to explain it, except to say we weren't ready on that end.
ahead care fate team
We got an opportunity. We've just got to take care of business. If we do that, we've got a shot. We kind of have fate in our own hands, because we play the team ahead of us twice.
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.
everybody line reason team whatever
It's unexplainable. Go up and down a line of this team and everybody would say the same thing. For whatever reason as a group, we weren't ready.
defense good great played problems since team worried
I've got enough problems; I'm not worried about what's going through his head. I just think it's just been really good team defense; our weak-side defense has been great since we played them.
grown talked team
It's something we've talked a lot about. Hopefully, we have grown a lot this season. It's a part of being a young team in this league.
good pull realized shots team
Everyone on the team realized that if we started making good stops, we would get right back in the game. We did that and made some big shots and we were able to pull it out.
breaks foul hard picking rhythm silly team
The big thing is, it kind of breaks up our rhythm a little bit. We try to play it a little more up-tempo and then, just every time, we're picking up the silly foul or the other team is getting to the free-throw line. It makes it hard to play.
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.
