What Larry brings to our team is awesome. He's going to keep getting better.
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.
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 wanted to be mentally focused and not give a team like Portland back into the game. We closed the game out.
We are still getting better. We are becoming a good team and it is good to see that...We need to approach games like we do at home, which is difficult, but once we get to that point we will be much better.
To make our team better, I felt I had to become a better defensive player. It's very hard. You have to put your mind to it and really want to do it. I give a lot of credit to our coaching staff.
The opposing teams don't know I'm a football player first. Nothing compares to those football hits.
The opposing team doesn't realize that I'm a football player first. I'm going to take those hits.
We've been doing a great job of closing out games on the road lately. It's tough playing the same team twice (in a one-week span). We didn't want to put too much pressure on ourselves because of the guys they are missing. We tried come out and play like they had everyone.
We didn't trust our teammates as much as we should have in the fourth quarter. If they are going to double-team me, I'm going to give up the ball. We're just not knocking down shots.
I was just fighting through it. I was trying to fight through a cold, but I didn't want to make any excuses. I didn't want to be in the position where I wasn't there for my team tonight.
It is something we need to work on. We need to approach games like we do at home, but that's very difficult for every team in this league.
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're real confident right now. We can win in any kind of game, up-tempo games, grind it out games, on the road games especially, which we were able to capitalize on this year. It's showing how much our team has grown.
