involved team
I don't think it matters. Of those 16 wins, this team hasn't been involved in 15 of them. It's only been one.
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.
ok
It tightened up on him. Hopefully, he'll be OK by Friday.
came controlled floor guys hit marion offensive rattled
They'll let you back into the game, but they've been together. When you have Nash out there on the floor with Marion - especially Nash - those other guys were getting rattled and Nash came back in and hit a big shot. He controlled the offensive end.
five game hoping success tonight winning won
Tonight was a really big game for us after winning in Cleveland. We have not had very much success on the road. We've been in every game but we haven't won. Now we've won two and we're hoping to keep it going on the five game trip.
