good kick man shot taken
It was a good shot. I would have taken a different shot because you don't want to kick a man when he's down. But he (Mohammed) was hot, and he wanted to see how hot he was.

It was important for us to win without Tim (Duncan) to show what type of a team we are without one of our main ingredients. I had the same shots I've had in the past, but the only difference was tonight I was able to knock them down.

flow game immediate impact reserve seems trying
As a reserve you have to get into that flow and try to find the flow of the game. You find yourself trying to make more of an immediate impact when you come off the bench. Where as a starter, the game just seems to come to you a lot easier.
