guys took trying
Other guys had it going, so I took a back seat. I'm just trying to win.
contribute far playing trying
Everybody's trying to do what they can to win. No one is out there playing to lose, everyone is trying to contribute as far as playing defense, playing smart, playing together.
coach run timing trying work
The timing was off. I was trying to run the play Coach wanted us to run, and it just didn't work out ... It's part of the game. It could go the other way for us, and eventually, one day it will.
biggest feeling game games gave ourselves resilient stay totally trying win
The biggest part is that the way we're approaching the game is totally different. We feel like we know we're going to win and we're not going into games feeling like we're not going to give ourselves a chance. I think before, we were just trying to stay in games and we weren't as competitive down the stretch. We kind of gave up. Now we're a very resilient group.
approach game gave kinda stay totally trying
The way we approach the game is totally different. We have a lot of confidence. We feel like we know we're going to win. Before, we were just trying to stay in games. We weren't as competitive down the stretch. We kinda gave up. Now, we're very resilient.
aggressive both came ends everybody focused losing ready
We just wanted to get off that losing streak. Everybody came out focused and ready to play on both ends of the court. It was great. We were very aggressive tonight.
allow points ready team
We weren't ready like those guys. You can't allow a team to have 66 points at halftime.
continued gave punch win
We withstood their punch and we continued to fight. We never gave up. We always thought we were going to win the game.
attack definitely guys playing winning
We didn't have that sense of urgency, you can definitely say that. We didn't come out and play the way we have been playing on this winning streak. I don't think guys are getting complacent. We just didn't come out and attack right away.
backwards definitely feels playing step urgency winning
We didn't have that sense of urgency that we've been playing with during this winning streak. This definitely feels like a step backwards with the way we've been playing.
beginning energy excuse guys
There's no excuse for guys not having energy at the beginning of the game.
allowing beginning continue hard jump middle pick teams
We can't win. That's it. We've just got to continue to come out and play hard from the beginning of the game. In the middle of the game, and at the end of the game, we pick it up. We can't keep allowing teams to come out right away and get the jump on us.
everybody guys mental stepped tired
We had a lot of guys out there tired and everybody stepped up. It was more of a mental challenge.
love
Yeah, I would want to be here. I love New York. I think he would want me to be here.
