problem score stops team
This team can score points. That's never been our problem. We've got to get stops when we need them. That's been our problem and something we got to get right.
backed forget mind shoot thinking
I should have just backed it out and forget about the 2-for-1 and just called a play. I don't know. You're thinking about so many things and all I had in mind was that we wanted a 2-for-1 so I was thinking shoot the ball.
coming earlier heads road
Earlier in the season, our heads would have went down. For us to get through this game, especially coming off such a long road trip, showed a lot.
definitely prove system team
The system is definitely better for us. We are a better team than before. But we have to go out there and prove it on the road. It will be a big challenge.
game hit matter
The thing is with Phoenix, they are never down. They play their game no matter who is out there, and they hit some shots.
believed difference early happened late left time
Yeah, it's similar, but the only difference is that happened early and we still believed there was time left in the season. It's getting late now.
goal overall time win worry
We have to win games. We don't have time to worry about being fatigued. Our overall goal is to win.
battle dug fighting fourth hole playing uphill
On the road, playing back to back, you need to keep it close. You don't want to be fighting that uphill battle in the fourth quarter. We just dug our hole too deep.
bring defense loss quit sharing win
This was a very disappointing loss because we wanted to come in here and win this one. We didn't bring our energy. Their defense got tighter and we quit sharing the ball.
build games hopefully last moral playing team win
We're not into moral victories, but as a team we're playing better, so hopefully we can build on these last two games and keep going. If we play like that every night, we're going to win some games.
fatigue seems step time trying
We can't use fatigue as an excuse. Every time we take a step forward, we take one back. It seems like we're still trying to find ourselves.
Considering everything we've been through, we did good.
care home wrote
It's still early. We're right there. We just got to take care of home court. Everything is still possible. If we're getting wrote off already, that's crazy.
best court good guys opens
It just opens the court up for me. I feel like I'm the best in transition. I can get in there and get those guys the ball. That's when good things usually happen.
