We weren't pleased with our first half last game. We felt if we played better in the first half we could win tonight. It was all about effort and energy.
bad basketball beat extra game home knew last mark motivation solid
You always want to come out and put your mark on the game early, if possible, especially a home game. At the same time, we knew how bad they beat us last time, so it was extra motivation for us to come out and play a solid basketball game.
ball great last minutes quarters shares six turns
He's a great player. He shares the ball for 3 1/2 quarters and in the last six minutes he turns it up. He's phenomenal.

We knew how badly they beat us last time so there was some extra motivation to come out and just play a solid basketball game.
beat best compete conference consider eastern fix last miami playoffs teams test year
We consider Miami one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference so we see it as a test each and every time. They beat on us last year in the playoffs so we wanted to come out and see how we could fix it and just compete with them. We competed with them before but we just weren't on their level.
asked biggest dedicating fun games guys hard last playing themselves
It's always fun when you're winning, but the biggest thing that makes it fun is guys are just going out there and playing hard and doing what's asked of us. It's just the effort. Guys are dedicating themselves to these last 20-plus games and we're getting results.
beat great last team together year
It's a great feeling. They really beat on us last year and in the playoffs. We just weren't on their level. It's been great to see our team come together in this streak.
bring last looked team
We didn't bring our 'A' game. We didn't even bring our 'B' game. Our last two (losses), we looked like a team that wanted to go home.
confusion last star
We don't have a star like last year. But we don't have the controversy and the confusion either.
confident detroit game gave last opportunity played playing test time
Just one game at a time. Detroit is playing unbelievable basketball. This is a test for us. The last time we played in Detroit, they gave us one. So it's an opportunity for us to come back. I feel like we're a better team, a more confident team.
last looked team
Our last two (games), we looked like a team that wanted to go home.
anytime bounce course guess last open question
He's open to suggestions. I guess it (Jefferson on Bosh) sounded good, so he went with it and it worked. That's what he is -- anytime you have a question or an idea you can bounce it off of him and of course he makes the last call.
difference energy felt game pleased start tonight
We weren't pleased about our start in the first game and felt that was the difference in (Friday's) game. Tonight it was about energy and effort, and that's what we showed right from the tip.
factor forth happy
We weren't happy with our effort. (Jefferson is) a big factor for us, but we can still really put forth a better effort.
