Having a young team that battled back, I'm really proud of these guys. I think we got something started here at the end of the year that I think we're going to be anxious to pick up on next year. |
They do a great job and get their hands up. I'm going to give them all the credit in the world defensively. |
We gave him open looks with so many opportunities, whether it was guarding him too much full-court, not picking him up soon enough, trying to switch, trying to help. We know he's a great player and you've got to stay with him. You can't lose him, and we lost him too much. |
We went 1-3-1 (on defense) and I think it caused a little bit of confusion because we hadn't shown it all year. We had to handle the ball a little bit better and knock a few shots down. I think it was just a matter of getting a stop here or there and getting a couple of scores. |
