beat definitely game perfect streak
It definitely helps, being on the streak we're on, and the way we're playing. You need to play a perfect game to beat these guys.
flow good starting
We're really starting to gel, starting to move. We've got our flow going as a starting unit. It's good to see.
beginning gym
I was beginning to feel like I was in the gym by myself out there,
ball basket draw lead needed opportunity patient situation stretched trying
I wasn't trying to draw any fouls. When you get in a situation like that, you've got to put the ball in the basket. It was an opportunity where the basket was needed and it stretched the lead out. I just wanted to be patient and take what I could get.
ball good
We just couldn't put the ball in the basket. We couldn't make shots. We got good looks.
course hear later prepared teams tweak
You just want to hear me say it. Of course there's adjustments, there's always adjustments. Teams put in new plays. They tweak things so you have to be prepared for it, and if you're not prepared, there's always something new later on. We could play them 20 times and you'd make adjustments 21 times. That's the way it goes.
against doubting everybody focused frustrated guys including individual mad stay team
We have the right to be frustrated and mad about individual play and mad about the team play. But when everybody is doubting us and everybody is against us, the guys that are on this team, including staff, must be on board. We must stay focused and we must stay together.
hurt wrong
Just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hurt.
played presence run seven
Just his presence out there made a difference. He played well for someone who hadn't run in seven days.
doubling presence
Just his presence out there (helped)...they weren't doubling me.
brought came games maybe playoff win
Maybe it came off as a chip, it was just focus. I wanted to get my first win here. They brought me here not to just win 49 games but to win playoff games. That was my goal. It was important for me to come out and just be Vince.
basket trying
I was just trying to get to the basket and have the referees make the call,
aggressive trying
I was just trying to be aggressive and get to the hole.
giving lane loose taking
I was just taking what they were giving me. On pick-and-rolls they were loose and I was able to get in the lane and make things happen.
