Matt's a strong, physical kid and I, as a post player, knew going into this game that there was going to be a lot of bumping. And Caleb on the outside, he can shoot. So it was a matter of tough man-to-man defense and making sure everyone does that. |
Right before halftime (when) Tom hit that 3-pointer, that gave us a lot of confidence going into the half, and we had some close calls in the second half but I don't think we really looked back. |
This is a resilient team. We got down, but we got off to a great start (in the second half) and we knew what we wanted to do against these guys, so it was a matter of us executing it. Once we slowed it down a little bit we were able to manage the game. We took control. |
