Credit their defense. They really stepped up. They are quick, athletic and physical. We've got to fight through that and adjust. We were turning the ball over even before we could get it in to (Thompson). |
It was really ugly, a real slow-down game. They were not going to let Deon touch the ball, but we were going to keep working it to him. Luckily we started hitting our jumpers in the second half. |
We felt we had to jump on them early. They were a Cinderella team, and I told them the longer you let them hang around, the more things could go in their favor. We had to get out and squash them. |
We're playing great defense right now, no doubt about that. We're not just getting it done on the offensive end. |
