I'm very familiar with some of their players.
nervous walk
I just told myself we're not going to lose. I just concentrated and did the things I always do as I walk up to the line. I didn't feel nervous at all.
biggest game games greater intensity possession second win
In a game like this, every second counts. Every possession counts. That's the biggest thing you can take away from a game like this. You have to play with a greater intensity to win games like this.
definitely forget happened people picking ranked remember
Not being ranked is definitely odd. But we've been picking up at the right time, and people forget what happened in '97. All people remember is the championship.
enthusiasm help matter needed played points somebody team whatever win
It was a team win because, no matter how many points somebody scored, we played like a team. There was enthusiasm and everything. Whatever was needed to help the team win (was there).
looking team tough
They're a tough team at home, and they're looking for (another) big win. But we're looking for one as well, so it'll be a tough game.
anybody beat easy three tough
It's tough to beat anybody three times in a season. It's not going to be an easy game.

This is a night where we really came together and played like a team. Everyone had energy from one on down to 13.

This is an opportunity to be around pros and watch Steve going around the court, trying to pick up some things.
care few job kindness maybe taking teammates
I started off with a few turnovers and that kind of trickled down to everybody. I could have done a better job of taking care of the ball. Maybe my teammates would have been more relaxed.
