If we play like we did tonight, I'd say we'll go pretty far in the playoffs. If we get there.
Somebody has to lose. I'm not happy it was us. We gave it our all.
Every win from here on out is big for us. We knew Utah was right behind us, and this would have been a devastating loss for us if we would have lost this one.
It was a heck of a time to be going on a streak (of missed shots) like that.
It was not really a high-scoring game but we were able to withstand their runs. We rebounded good but didn't shoot well. We helped each other out more than we have been doing in the past.
It's going to be big. We've been winning at home and we're going to keep trying to push that home record up.
It was still embarrassing to watch, but you've got to learn from it and make it the exact opposite the next time around. A lot of it is effort. We came out lackadaisical. You could tell by our body movement. It was embarrassing, and nobody wants to be embarrassed on national television.
They came in and missed a lot of early shots, ... We got it going and set our offense. We kept running and attacking.
It seemed like we wanted this tonight. Everybody's coming together. We've been playing great our last couple games here. Now we need to see if it carries over in Phoenix (on Friday).
It's a big road trip and every game is crucial. It was just a case where we were a little more aggressive. Once we made some shots, everything just started to click on all cylinders.
I tried to be a bit more aggressive instead of being so passive and just trying to get a shot up and keeping the energy up. I was just trying to make things happen for my team. I was trying to make them guard me and if I had seen somebody open I would get them.
We're going to keep trying to move our way up. We hit a little hot streak and hopefully we can keep it up.
A lot of days when you don't play you're just sitting at the hotel doing nothing.
This is very frustrating. There wasn't any energy out there, ... We had no communication out there tonight. We need to work on our problems, because I know they can be fixed.
