anywhere coming fourth kids played protecting quarter win
To go anywhere in the playoffs, you've got to win the fourth quarter. Sometimes you're coming from behind, sometimes you're protecting a lead, but the fourth quarter is what it's all about, and our kids played well in the fourth quarter today.
attacking ball dribble guys team thinking turned
We just turned the ball over way too much. We got guys on this team that can dribble the ball up the floor, but we were thinking too much. We weren't attacking their press. They come at you from all angles.
almost came knew process regular time
I think he's almost right back to his regular form. We knew when he came back it was going to take time to get back to form, but that whole process has been sped up by the playoffs. I think he's a little over 100 percent.
came contested defensive game guys impression strong
My first impression of the game is that our guys came through with a strong defensive effort. We contested their shots.
bigger change eyes hard kids prize
We just kind of went back to what we were doing all year. It was hard, I'm not going to lie, but we're not going to change much and the kids have their eyes on a bigger prize right now.
boards controlled difference offense patient rebound spread total zone
We had to be patient on offense to spread out their zone and find the gaps, but we didn't do that. I don't know what the rebound total was, but they controlled the boards and that was the difference in the game.
attacking ball care great job knew offensive open patient trap
We wanted to take care of the ball, be patient in the offensive set. We knew they were going to come at us and trap Amir. Amir did a great job getting the ball to the open guy. We made shots. We were attacking their pressure.
came guy
The big guy came through again. I wanted to get him a break, but I just had to have him in there all the time.
beating boards
They were beating us on the boards in the first half. That's something we've been working on.
game huge lose loss per points
It's a huge loss when you lose 30 points per game like that. We have to make some adjustments to our style.
ball best dictated difference far felt game good outside patient team turn
We'll take that one. It was by far the best game that we had this year, outside of Aliquippa. We dictated the game from the start. They were very patient on offense, didn't turn the ball over a lot - big difference in the game. It felt like a good team win.
physical played
We didn't play real physical on defense. I didn't feel like we played hard.
best felt games happy needed patient people seen
This felt like one of his best games that I've seen him play. He was patient and smart. He got people involved. When we needed points, when they would make a run, he would get the shots. I'm real happy with him.
ball great players wants
Jeter wants the ball at the end of the game. Great players want the ball at the end of the game, and they make plays.
