frantic fueled instead pace played smarter team trying turned whatever
We played at a frantic pace instead of the way we wanted to play. We quick-shot it, we turned it over -- we just fueled whatever they were trying to do. We have to be a smarter team than that.
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.
We had a lot of injuries, and we just never could get on track.
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.
brad execute feed guys kept plays tried
We did what we wanted to do. You've got to execute down the stretch, you've got to get stops. We couldn't get a stop, but we kept scoring. We tried to put it in Brad and Mike's hands, let them make plays and the other guys feed off of them.
both concentration ends wanders
We get these lulls where we our concentration wanders at both ends of the court.
