I wasn't even thinking about it. It is what it is. I just move on. I have my team to worry about and getting my guys ready for the game. I just go out there and do what I do.
Whoever we play, it's going to be tough because it's two great teams. We just have to make sure we do our homework and go out there and try to execute.
I was very familiar with him and Eddie (Jones) and Rick Brunson. I just know what he's about. He's a steady basketball player, rarely makes mistakes on the floor.

It feels good to finally get one of these close games.
It feels good to be mentioned among the elite players who have ever played the game.
It feels good. It lets me know they appreciate what I do out there on the floor.

We just did not execute in overtime, and the execution was really simple. They just got the ball to Jason and let him operate.

You just look for him. You make sure you take care of them.
You just keep trying to play aggressive until you foul out.
