coming compete expect group guys job knew nobody sustain together
There's nobody we can't go out and compete against. But again, it's such a new group. I always knew what to expect with the group in the past, but I don't know what to expect if we keep winning. Are we going to be able to sustain it and make it? These guys have done an unbelievable job of coming together as a team.
hands helping nice seeing teammates
We're challenging shots, getting hands on passes, helping teammates and seeing what the other team is doing. It's nice to see the activity.
ball group move together trust
We're a group that hasn't been together that long. I think if we move the ball and trust each other, we're going to be okay.
chance stops
We executed offensively, and we got the stops we needed. Now we have a chance to even it up on Sunday.
ball hard moved shoot team
We really moved the ball well tonight. We still didn't shoot as well as we can. We had a lot of assists, but they're a hard team to guard. You know they were going to make a run; they always do here.
ball followed game moved
We really moved the ball well and we followed our game plan.
attack court dangerous second spread stop
We couldn't stop them in the second half. Once they got going that's who they are. They spread the court and attack you. They are a dangerous team.
beat best great ourselves played playing position solid team west
We played solid all the way through. We beat the best team in the West at their place. If we keep playing at this level, we are going to put ourselves in great position for the playoffs.
double guys played playing seven
We played seven and all seven had double figures. We've been playing better and better offensively. We're getting more used to each other and our young guys are playing better.
eight games liked
When you're eight games under .500, things don't look very good. But I liked the way we finished.
finish realize
We had a lot of chances, but we just didn't finish. You've got to finish strong, and we just didn't do it. We were right there again, and we have to realize we have to finish. You've got to keep playing.
ball coming hard moved people philosophy post react
That was our philosophy. Go at him. Make him try to defend. It?s hard to post him up. We moved the ball pretty well, and we got him to react to people coming at him.
build hopefully roll type win
That's the type of win you need if you are going to keep something going and get on a roll here. Hopefully we can build on it.
That's the one the referees let go way too much.
