Those little plays make a difference in close games. There was a series where all the guys made plays.

We had balanced scoring, and we never let (Ellsworth) get on a big run.

Martinez is tough on (defending) the ball. He?s very quick and a good defender.

great played
We had great effort. Not everything was perfect, but we played hard.
needed playing practice tweak
We had to make improvements to get where we needed to be. Playing those 25-game schedules, you don't have a lot of practice times to tweak things.
