That certainly was an important game for us, for a lot of reasons. We were sloppy at times offensively. The effort was really there and it was great to see. We've got some cobwebs to get out.

That certainly was an important game for us. We were sloppy at times offensively. The key for us was our disposition defensively. It was there today.

That move gives them more scoring off the bench. Gordon is a guy that proved last year he's instant offense. They have Chandler also coming off the bench, giving them size and mobility and energy there.
|
That was a big part of the game. When you turn it over 22 times for 30 points, you aren't going to beat a top team.
|
That's a tough one, a tough one to lose. It's too bad, the guys really fought hard. If we had gotten a couple more stops the last couple of minutes, it would have been a different story.

That's a tough one. It was a tough way to get a lead then lose it. They kept playing. They kept coming. I thought we tried. We just didn't capitalize on our opportunities.
|
That's an unbelievable streak. It shows how those guys work to take care of themselves and why they have the best record in the league.

That's something the medical people have to discuss. It's a conversation I haven't been involved in and I don't know what point it's at. You have to look at the long-term future of a young player as well as the short-term gains you have by playing him.

That's what you call hanging on for dear life. (Boston) has been tough for us to play all year. It's important for us to get wins now however we can get them. We can't worry about what other teams are doing. What's really important is concentrating on ourselves.

The bench production is essential to us having success right now. We have a lot of our better scorers coming off the bench, so it would be logical that we would get a few more points than from some of the starters.

The best situation will be for him to completely heal. I don't know what the prognosis or possibility is for that. It's certainly going to be awhile before he plays, because it's hurting too much for him to play effectively.

The biggest thing is efficiency, because if you have a lot of turnovers on the road, the opponent is going to convert a lot of them. Jersey is a great conversion team off turnovers.
|
The critical thing is going to be our decision-making. We need to play aggressively but not frantically.
|
The emotionally charged and highly competitive nature of our games is one of the things that makes it compelling to our fans. The fine line you walk as a player or coach is that you have to channel those emotions in a way that's not harmful to your team or the game. That's the situation we're dealing with. My sense was it was getting better year to year.

The energy our guys played with was exceptional. It was a much-needed win for us. This is the kind of game we talked about having to play — more up-tempo, more movement.
