best denver experience fortunate good guys jason last mental mind minutes played plays shows teams win worked
I think this win shows our mental toughness, because it's mind over matter. You have Jason Kidd who played 46 minutes last night, and then plays 40 tonight. This is something our guys can look back on and is a good experience for this team. Denver is one of the best homecourt teams in the league. Things worked for us. We got fortunate that Carmelo got hurt.

Outstanding would be an understatement. Vince Carter took us on his shoulder and did a phenomenal job.

God forbid the guy doesn't have a game when he doesn't hit every shot he takes. He's a special, special guy. He's turned around this franchise. We have unbelievable trust in him. He's delivered time and time again.

attacking bunch fall gets guy hardly hell hurting keeps last maybe missed shots sleep takes won
(Carter) missed a bunch of shots he makes every day. The guy takes a hell of a fall and he keeps on attacking the rim. If we would have won maybe that would have been a story line, that the guy gets up from hurting (himself) where he could hardly sleep last night.
