Tony was great tonight and as solid as he has been all season. The Hornets shot the ball better than we would have liked them to tonight, but overall this was a good win.
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 have a lot of guys who are a little beat up and a little stressed out at this part of the season. It's great to have this break, let everybody get away and then come back refreshed.
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.
We had a great season, a franchise record. It's all gone now.
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.
It was a great defensive effort overall. We had a solid night defensively and that helped keep their score down. We are starting to get things worked out.
It's great to get (home-court) wrapped up. I'm feeling good right now -- feeling healthy.
They did a great job double-teaming me. I got in foul trouble, my shots weren't going down, and things just weren't working my way. I tried to be as aggressive as I could, but they were defending me very well. I finally got some shots to go down late in the game when it seemed like it didn't matter anymore.
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.
I thought we played well enough to win. When you penetrate and pump fake on shots like we did it moves the defense with you. Parker was great tonight like he has been all year.
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.
