If ever I saw my wife or kids or loved ones being threatened, I think that's everyone's natural instinct.

If we show we can play at a high level for the rest of the year ... look, we feel we can beat anyone.
|
If we're not focused, like anything else, you're going to be vulnerable to getting beat. That's how this league works.

In this league, it's so hard to guard guys one-on-one. But it's your team scheme. We use the phrase in practice every day, 'help the helper.' Help your teammate like you'd want him to help you.

Indiana finally has their team together. It's one of the few times they are healthy. Their team has been deep into the playoffs. They have experienced players, just like we have experienced players. They have great balance between play-making, mid-sized guys who can score and great size. We have a high level of respect for them.

Indiana is without half their roster.

Instead of kind of being deflated, we pressed on.

It comes down to attention to detail, effort, executing themes. And the biggest thing is trust, everyone being on the same page and helping like you liked to be helped.

It doesn't get any easier. We are going home to play the best team in basketball. That's the beauty of this league, you do it on a nightly basis and we can keep trying to get better.

It hasn't been since the (All-Star) break where we were able to come out and do what we did to make it 8-0, and it started on the defensive end. We played really good defense in the first half, forcing them to shoot some shots with just three or four seconds left on the shot clock.

It shows you the character in that locker room. We set the tone early.
|
It was a combination of turnovers and missed opportunities. We had shots right by the rim that didn't go in. We had some defensive mistakes with our rotations, and the turnovers in the first half didn't allow us to get into a flow.
|
It was a rare opportunity in this league to take on two elite teams on back-to-back nights, playing teams with two different styles and come away with two wins. For them to display so much energy on two straight nights shows their mental toughness. It's definitely a credit to our team. The guys gave a great effort.

It was just us getting back up after being knocked down yesterday.
|
It was kind of the same script for us. We fight back and get some empty possessions.
