We just made the big play at the end. We just willed a way to win. This was one of the wildest games, especially on the road. But I love it. Being on the road, you got the fans against you and we found a way to win. It was awesome.
Drew goes with the flow. When he gets the ball, he produces. We don't run many plays for him. He had a hell of a game for us. We'll need him to do it again Friday.
This was big for us. The guys stepped up. We couldn't go 0-3 against them. They might be a team we face in the playoffs. So we can't let them think they can come in here and beat us.
It's about having intensity and playing at both ends for as close to 48 minutes as possible. You really can't put in a good game plan against a great team, you just have to go out and play.
We got up double digits against them, and I bet going through everybody's mind was what happened Thursday when they went on a run. I didn't want that to happen. Defensively, I took the challenge of Ben Gordon, and offensively I took the challenge of trying to put them away.
We are great friends. We love competing against each another.
We are great friends. I told him to keep doing what he was doing for his team, and he said the same to me. We love competing against one another.
We did not want to get blown out against a team in the Eastern Conference.
Coming off a back-to-back, with a big win last night against Indiana, it would have been easy for us to not bring intensity. Early on, our team didn't have intensity. I saw that and I had to pretty much take over matters. I've been able to take my team on my back.
Coming off a back-to-back after a big win against Indiana, it was easy for us not to bring the intensity tonight. You can't win a big game like that and then lose a game like this.
He is one of the best defenders in this league against me.
Guys stepped up tonight. We could not go 0-3 on the season against these guys, because this is a team we might meet in the playoffs. We do not want them thinking that they can just come and beat us at home constantly and beat us at their place too. They are a good team. We are a good team, and we played well to get a win.
We got stops and made shots when it counted. When you hold a team to 38 percent from the field you give yourself a pretty good chance of winning.
We are very confident. We are winning ball games...We are playing well defensively and we are executing our offense. We feel very confident and we have to keep it going.
