We've got a bunch of unselfish guys that don't really care who gets it done.
We all didn't have that edge we needed. Offensively, they did kind of whatever they wanted to do. We can't win games like that.
Tonight was a good game for us because we were able to grind it out and find a way to get a win down the stretch. I was able to get some shots to go, and when they doubled me, I was able to find my teammates.
We had a great season, a franchise record. It's all gone now.
We learned a lesson here tonight. It was a cheap one because we still won, but we can learn.
We don't market. We just try to win.
We put ourselves in a great position, but we gave up two in a row at home. We still have the lead in the West, and in the division and we're going to try and hold onto that.
I don't ever do anything different. I just put them up there and hope they go in. Sometimes it goes good, and sometimes it goes bad, but I just want to give myself a chance.
I don't even know how he got it off, honestly. I think he shot it with his left hand. I went after his right hand, thinking he was going to float it with the time going down like that, but somehow he got it up there and it stayed up there on the rim and went in. It was just a great shot, a great effort by those guys to turn a turnover into a fast-break that quickly and get it to the rim.
I am feeling pretty good right now. I am as healthy right now as I have been all season. I got a couple of shots to go down tonight and that is good because they haven't been going down lately.
Nobody said this would be easy. Everybody said the opposite.
I wish I could be involved in the high-flying off the glass stuff, but that's just not what I do, ... So I go out there, I play. I take my open shots and I try to move the ball around.
I am the leader of this team, ... So, it starts with me, and I understand that.
Now we've got the pressure on them, down two games. Now we've got to go into Arco and really get this first one. That puts the ultimate pressure -- elimination -- on people.
