He can run, and he has a high basketball IQ, ... You'll see the ball in his hands as a playmaker. He's very competitive, and he wants to win. I liked his demeanor on the court and the way he reacted with his teammates. It's reassuring.
He creates an up-tempo game for us. I think his shooting is probably better than people anticipated.
He made two good reads. He got it down to Joe. That's where Mike wants to get to. Not only be able to score, but to be able to make players around him better. Those were two big plays.
When he pushes it like that, the team follows.
But I did think that Michael was being held and grabbed a lot. I'm just stating what I saw.
I really liked the way we competed in the second half. With Michael and Mo out, I was really proud of the way our team competed.
I really liked the way we competed in the second half.
I'm very pleased with their attention to aggression on defense,
I like the way we started the game. But the tone was set for the game in the second quarter when we had all the turnovers. It's good to get a win and you certainly don't want to belittle a win on the road.
I like the way we responded after last night's loss; it was pretty demoralizing. To come back with the energy that that we had tonight was good to see.
I like the way our team came out in the second half with a little sense of urgency and got back into the game quickly. He (Redd) kind of struggled with some of his shots in the first half. He's a good scorer and a good shooter. He had the confidence to keep going.
They made him a priority. He's one of the main reasons why we've played them well throughout the year, and they obviously made Mike a priority. They didn't give him any looks, any good looks. We have to do a better job of getting him open. He has to find people when they do bottle him up. He has to find people and not necessarily play into the teeth of their defense.
I don't know if I expected 30. But Mo played tonight the way he's been playing all year. He picked his spots. He scored 30 points on 17 shots and was pretty efficient.
Charlie's rebound put-back was big. And to have eight assists with only one turnover was good. And Charlie has been good defensively all year.
