We played hard tonight. Even the last two games that we lost on the road, we played hard. We just did not come through down the stretch of the game. Tonight was no different. We are a physical team and we got after them a little bit. All around, it was a good victory.
We played hard at both ends of the court. It's a great accomplishment for us. I'm excited more than anything.
Shaq is Goliath. I was just playing off him, ... They collapse on him and make it hard for him to breathe down there. Then that?s when I take over.

I started coming off the pick and roll and I was so wide open. It really threw me off at first. It's been two months since I've been that wide open.
I've been in a lot of playoff battles but never had one quite like this. We had our backs against the wall and we were seemingly out of it.
