We did a pretty solid job on defense. We got in the passing lanes, got some steals.
We did a good job to fight back into it. We got the stops and jus made too many mistakes down the stretch.
He did a great job on the offensive glass, made some big baskets for them and showed some great touch right around the basket.
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.
When I'm away from basketball, I'm the biggest kid. I do a good job of keeping myself sane. But on the other hand, I'm more of a solitary guy, glad to be left alone.
I'm not better when I force shots. I'm going to take them as they come. They are really sagging in there, trying to take me out of the game. It's my job to find guys. I want to be aggressive and take my shots, but I can't force them.
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.
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.
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.
