closing couple far forward games looking means starting together
This means we're growing. A couple of games ago we couldn't do anything as far as closing out a game. Now we're starting to put this thing together and looking forward to the future.
basically easy guys learning looking point shots spread start starts
They told me, 'Just spread it up anyway. I'm looking at them, going, 'Spread it up anyway?' ... So I start doing that, and it starts working for me. Guys scrambling around and getting easy shots -- that's basically learning to be a point guard.

I'm pretty sure they knew what they were doing when they got me.
afraid case coach guys hat joke laugh point relationship
I'm just comfortable around him. I look at him like just one of the guys on the team. I wouldn't be afraid to laugh and joke with coach Case or tell him that his hat is funny, something like that. Just having a sense of humor, being able to have a relationship between your coach and point guard, it's always good.

It was a good team win and we'll take it any way we can get it.
confidence shot teammates took
It was a big shot and I took it. My teammates had confidence in me.

basically friends-or-friendship playing positive took trying watching wing
Me and Mike, we've been friends for a long time. He and Antoine (Walker) basically took me under their wing when I first got in the league. Basically he said he's been watching me and I've really been playing well. He's just trying to keep me positive about the situation.
bit carry closing games home job tougher
It's a little bit tougher on the road. Basically, it comes from not closing the games out. We're doing a better job at home than on the road. We just have to carry that out to the road.

We broke (the road losing streak) without the big guns.
