It was ugly. It was a low-scoring, ugly game.
games lost played remember seems
I played for the Clippers and we were bad, but I don't remember being around anything like this. I never lost games like this. It seems like we don't care.

I'm thrilled that I'm getting back to playing the way I play, downright dirty and nasty. When I get people down in the post, I'm going to abuse them and score.

I just felt it was getting more stiff as time went on.

It's tough, but not 28 points tough. That's defeat. I know we had a lot of turnovers, we have a lot of young players. Other than that, we just have to compete and listen to what coach says.

It was a low-scoring, ugly game. We both slowed the game down. It got ugly for a while.

defense stopping
The thing is, we're concentrating on defense and stopping teams. That to me is making a big difference.
