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 did it last year and it was fun. We got up and down. I think we had less turnovers than any other time in the game.
Those guys are playing the best basketball. This will be a great test for us at this time of the season.
We did what we always do. We stuck with it. We understand the amount of time and possessions left and we play each possession. It's all about getting stops. If we can get stops, we can make things happen.
I haven't been around him in so long, not for anything other than our paths just haven't crossed. It was great to have some time ... and talk about old times.
I've got no choice but to (watch the standings). Every time I walk into the practice facility it's right there, so I know what's going on.
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.
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.
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.
