Toni threw a great pass and that's what we wanted to get. Andrew obviously made a great catch and shot. That's what we were looking to get.
We're coming back to the Bradley Center, and the Bradley Center has been a great building in the playoffs. They call it home-court advantage for a reason so we've got to go home and take advantage of it.
He's a great player and he did just what great players do. He was able to keep his confidence in a game where things weren't going his way.
I like setting records, not just season highs. It's good to be a part of it. The other ones were good, but to only have two turnovers in a game says a lot about our passing abilities. It says a lot about our sharing the ball and making good decisions.
Everybody seems to want to take away from accomplishments. The fact all five teams made it is a testament to each of those teams. Cleveland and us weren't in the playoffs last year, and the fact we jumped into the playoffs shows you even more about the division.
I'm proud of our streak of keeping teams under 94. Really everyone on the floor contributed defensively.
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.
It was a competitive scrimmage. We still have a long way to go, but it's reassuring that the work we did this week is showing up a little bit.
I want to be aggressive and keep playing. It seemed like we were getting tentative . . . We have to understand the urgency of the little things in the last 3 or 4 minutes of the game.
It's certainly a different feel, and I think it does keep your legs warm. Joe wears it because he had a sleeve on his one knee and just wanted to have the same feel for both legs. I think it's a personal (preference). I can see why guys would want to wear them.
It's hard, as much as Rip was holding and grabbing.
