attention detail efficient energy games guys halftime hurting last level offense passing paying playing seven teammates tonight trusting trying
Our energy level tonight was up. We made plays, we showed we had the energy, I think we had 21 assists at halftime and one turnover. Our offense was efficient tonight. We haven't been playing well these last seven games and our offense was the thing hurting us the most. Guys were trying to do everything on their own and we need to get back to trusting our teammates and passing the ball. We weren't paying much attention to detail in these last seven games, but we were better tonight.
attention build catch control destiny energy golden guys hopefully past paying seven state teams trying
We still control our own destiny and teams still have to catch us. In the past seven games, we haven't been paying attention to detail. Guys were trying to do it themselves. We wanted to come out with a different energy and we showed it tonight. Hopefully we can build off this, but we'll find out at Golden State (on Friday).
biggest change energy given good halfway happening needed ron team trade
I think it's been a very good trade for us in that we needed a change in our season. What was happening wasn't working. Getting Ron more than halfway through the year, it's given us an energy level. That's been the biggest thing this team needed.
both brings court ends energy hard player plays solid
He's been a solid player on both ends of the court for us. He brings a lot of energy and plays hard every night.
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.
came carried felt guys huge mike second
It was huge for us going into halftime. Mike just carried us in the first half, then other guys came through in the second half. I don't know how (the Nets) felt about it, but it was huge for us.
anybody complain four
I'm not going to complain about this. We've got four more to go. If we keep winning, there's nothing anybody else can do about it.
against played
I have nothing against the way we played (Thursday).
criteria league move office
I had no idea this was going to happen. But the criteria is set by the league office, and so that's the way it is. We have to move on.
I like what we're doing right now, how things are going.
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.
answers games
It's disappointing. It's just one of those games where we really didn't have any answers for them.
