We did a good job to fight back into it. We got the stops and jus made too many mistakes down the stretch.
We didn't have the edge we needed tonight. They shot 50 percent from the floor. We need to shore up our defense right now going into the final few games of the season.
They have a solid team. Elton is having a heck of a year. He hurt us last time, so we decided to come after him. We made it difficult for him tonight.
Absolutely, yes, definitely, ... He pulled me out of an incredible hole that I put myself in.
It's a situation you obviously don't want to be in, but those two games are gone. Our concern now is these next two games. They're going to be big for us. We have to shift our focus to that.
It's a great feeling. A great feeling, ... In years past we've lost six, seven, eight, nine guys in a year, and rebuilt. I think we've really got a core here that we're in love with, that obviously is a pretty decent core, and we're going to have it together for a couple years.
They're playing very well, probably the best basketball in the league right now. We're going to their house where they are even tougher and we haven't been that great on the road. So we're up for one heck of a challenge, and it will be a great time for it.
It (stinks) - especially because we really feel like we gave this one away. The last game we got beat pretty good. Tonight we come out and try to sure up a couple of things, and we still get a bunch of turnovers and missed free throws, and we still have a chance to win down the stretch and give it away.
It started from horn to horn. We shot the ball well. We moved the ball well. Our defense was solid.
It's a big game for us. We'll come back a little more energized and ready to go.
It was surprising how he shot the ball tonight, but he got in a zone there, got his rhythm down, came off and was real confident with his shot. He had an unbelievable night and he's had an unbelievable year.
There's no excuses to be made. We lost the game.
They approached us with the problem, and we fixed it. We dont see any of that as a breach of contract.
I've learned the following season is always tougher. We always get everybody's best game. But understanding that collectively is a whole different thing. It's not like we can go out there and say we are what we are and walk through the season.
