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've got a bunch of unselfish guys that don't really care who gets it done.
When our guys are getting shots like that, we love 'em. ... But every once in a while, I tell them I'm still there.
It was a good night all around. We moved the ball well. We got a lot of guys a lot of minutes.
It was a good night all around. We moved the ball very well and were able to get a lot of guys a lot of minutes. It was a good victory, and now we prepare for the next one.
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.
Those guys are playing the best basketball. This will be a great test for us at this time of the season.
It was just a long night. Things happen, the season happens. Those guys played well tonight; give them credit, ... We compounded them playing well with myself playing very, very badly.
He's such a fun-loving guy and a good guy. He's one of great guys in the basketball, period. I don't think you could find anybody that would say a bad word about him and you love to root for a guy like that.
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.
It was a huge key. He really hurt us last time. We decided to come after him and make them change their game a little bit.
They approached us with the problem, and we fixed it. We dont see any of that as a breach of contract.
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.
