avoid ball basket both charges patient took trying tying
I was just tying to put the ball in the basket. I just wanted to be patient and take what I could get. Just wanted to go to the basket and avoid him, because he'd already took two charges on me, so I was concentrating on trying to do both things.

I was just trying to take what the defense gave me and mix it up a little bit. If (the defender) was playing up on me, just trying to make him pay and go to the basket and get to the line.

Our goal and our focus is to bring the same attitude regardless (of the opponent). We just try to take teams out early and throw them out of our building by any means.

Our willingness to win. I think, by saying that, it covers all aspects of the game: our willingness to win for 48 minutes, being aggressive, trusting each other. All that. Just committing to the team.
