We knew that play was coming. We were going to close the door and deny all options. |
We knew they were white-hot and were winning a lot of ballgames, but we were confident coming in. Even down four at the half, we were still confident. We knew that once we made our adjustments, we'd be OK in the second half. |
We need to win one more game to qualify but it is great for our mindset. It is definitely a statement. |
We still need to prove that we're still a top-notch organization, ... We're going towards that road. I don't have PlayStation in my locker, flat screens or DVD's in my locker. |

We tried to speed up the game and do some things that would benefit us. There was a lot of energy spent coming back from the first-quarter run they had. |
We tried to take them out early. This was a must-win for us. |
We waited a little to late to play with a sense of urgency, with intensity. I was just hoping that we could get it into overtime and continue the momentum that we had going. |
We want to be one of the top teams in the West, and we think we are. |
We wanted to attack them tonight. That's what they did so well against us at home earlier. We wanted guys to penetrate and go to the hole, which is what we did successfully tonight. |
We wanted to control the pace. We didn't want to let them get any fast-break points like they did when we played in New Jersey. |
We wanted to get off to a good start, come out with some good energy and fire. We did that and they got behind, and we just wanted to keep plugging away. |
We wanted to go undefeated, but it's not realistic to win every game, |
We were last in three-point field goals, and that makes a big difference in wins and losses, |
We were No. 1 in field-goal defense coming in, but I don't know about now. |
