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.
game gives home huge stay type
This is the type of home game that really gives you a boost. We've made a huge climb. Now that's we're over (.500), we have to stay over it.
continue stay talk trust within
I'll talk to Ron. He has to stay within the flow. He's going to continue to come out and be a factor. He's just got to trust his teammates. Hopefully, that's what he's going to do.
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.
five four games great stayed win
This was a great win for us. We've been struggling, injured, with four games in five nights. But we stayed with it and got it done.
ahead catch open points stayed
We had open shots, but couldn't make them. They stayed ahead about 15 points and we could never catch up.
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.
