We attack the game in many different ways. Some nights it's interior, but a lot of it is our pick-and-roll and finding our shooters. If they're going to play the pick-and-roll a certain way or double team in the post, our shooters are going to have wide-open shots, and we have some of the best in the league.
We know what we have left, and we just have to kind of get it done. We still have a chance to end up with one of our best seasons yet, so we just have to turn that corner and get back on a roll before the playoffs come around.
Those guys are playing the best basketball. This will be a great test for us at this time of the season.
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.
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.
I've just tried to do my part as best I can, and down at the end there, I was lucky enough to get that stop, rebound and seal it.
We did a pretty solid job on defense. We got in the passing lanes, got some steals.
When our guys are getting shots like that, we love 'em. ... But every once in a while, I tell them I'm still there.
We got into a flow in the third quarter. All in all it was a team effort.
Unbelievable. It was great. We just stood around and kind of looked at him. He made big shots and got on a roll there.
With home-court advantage, we are in a spot that we want to be in. We are going to do what we can with it. We had a good season. We had some rough patches, but those are the times that we come together and solidify ourselves as a team. Health is the most important thing for us. I am feeling good right now and with that in mind we are really coming together as we head into the playoffs.
Beno has been playing great for us. With Nick out right now, Beno is getting a lot of minutes and he has really responded well.
Everything's not clicking yet, but we're heading that way. It was a great learning experience today being able to fight back and staying with each other.
We need to get some of that funk out. We've had some bad games and some losses at home.
