came deserve gratifying guys hung locker proud room stayed
To say the least, it's gratifying to come from where we were. Those guys in the locker room deserve a lot of credit. They stayed with it. I'm really proud of them and the way they came back and hung together, and now they're in.
track winning
We need to go on a four- or five-game winning streak. We're going to get right back on track if we can do that.
shot win
We had a shot to win the game. It just didn't go down for us.
attitude came good great position themselves
We came back with a good attitude today. They've put themselves in a position to have a great trip.
ready waited
We waited too long to get into this game. In the first half, we just never got anything going. I don't know why we didn't come ready to play in this game.
leave left supposed
We left him when we weren't supposed to leave him. We got off him when we weren't supposed to get off him. The things we were not going to do, we did.
ball guys looking open pass shooting
We are shooting the ball well. I also think guys are looking for each other. If we pass the ball we are going to find open people.
game mentally type
It's the type of game where we have to be mentally into it the whole game because if we play that team, that's what it's going to take.
approach deal
It's the only way you can approach it. I can't deal with what went on with him and another coach.
answers games
It's disappointing. It's just one of those games where we really didn't have any answers for them.
bench five four games great guys needed nights people stayed tough win
It was a great win for us. We've been struggling. Four games in five nights is tough and our guys stayed with it and got the win. We didn't have some of our people on the bench and we really needed those guys to be consistent.
ahead bottom catch control open win
It's still in our control. We're ahead of them. If we win games, they can't catch us. That's the bottom line. If we don't win games, then we open it up for them to get back in it.
consistent last league saw team year
It's not going to be the same team we saw in there last time. Other than Detroit, they were the most consistent team in the league this year on a game-by-game basis. That's how they got to where they are.
bad ball defend
The ball bounced in and we didn't defend the play very well. He had a wide-open look and when you have wide-open looks, bad things happen. That's the way it goes.
