Nobody expected Braxton Kelley to come in here and start and do all of those things, now people look at Micah Johnson and expect him to come in and start and do all of those things.

I'm getting tired of coming close and not finishing the deal. We started out looking like a team, then struggled, stumbled and fumbled and did not look very good at the half. We responded, competed and played hard and made the plays that gave ourselves a chance to win.
