anytime behind coach hit inspire jump knock saying shots smith team teammates
My whole team was behind me and saying, keep shooting. Coach Smith was saying just jump up there with confidence. We know you can hit it, so anytime your teammates and coach say that, then it's going to inspire you to knock down shots so that's what you need to do for your team.

To come back from 11 down in the final five or six minutes at a neutral site against a great team does show a lot about our toughness.

We dug ourselves a big hole but we just came together and played for each other. Once we put two halves like that together, we'll be tough.

That was something between me and the team. To have your teammates cheering me on like that, it means a lot.
