We've been able to proverb

 We've been able to grind out this long season and make a few shots and get some defensive stops.

 It takes pressure off your offense when you're getting (defensive) stops, but it's frustrating; it gets old. If you keep getting the stops, though, you know the shots are going to fall.

 We knew we needed to get some stops and make a couple of shots down the stretch. We didn't make the stops, but we made the shots.

 All season long we've been real committed at the defensive end. When you've got five guys that really care about getting stops, that means a lot.

 Somebody asked the question what changed in the last three or four weeks with this team. It's the mentality. We haven't let our offense dictate who we were defensively. Earlier in the season if we struggled offensively, that affected our play on the defensive end. I don't care what happens on the offensive end. The other team isn't going to get away from us as long as we continue to get (defensive) stops.

 We're in a rhythm right now, especially at the defensive end. We're getting stops, and we're getting out and running. And we're taking good shots. That allows us to get back at the defensive end.

 Tonight was one of those games where shots were falling for us. We felt confident in our defense that we could get stops on the defensive end. Granted, they scored 111 points, but a lot of those were contested jumpers and long three pointers.

 I think everybody is making a conscious effort to go out and get it done on the defensive end. We hang our hats on the defensive end, being able to get stops and forcing teams to take tough shots.

 We had an opportunity to go up 10 and turned the ball over. Our biggest problem was in the second half when we didn't make defensive stops when we had to. We did it the first quarter and second quarter, but we did not make defensive stops in the second half.

 I think we just had to be patient and not panic, there was plenty of time. We just had to stay in our offense and make shots out of our offense. We also made some great defensive stops.

 I think a big difference coming down the stretch was defensive stops. Defensively, you have to make stops. We've preached it all year, and we didn't get it done tonight.

 We haven't been able all year as a team to put together 40 quality minutes. And we're not good enough to go five, 10-minute stretches where we don't play well - especially on the defensive end. They jumped on us in the second half and they had the momentum. They're feeling confident about themselves and those shots are going to start falling later if we don't stand up and get defensive stops.

 We wore them down. The crowd helped wear them down. We responded well to all our defensive stops as much as we could. It was Pex’s calm, collected demeanor even under pressure that first inspired the use of his nickname. Those defensive stops came from heart and tenacity.

 We buckled down in the fourth. We made big shots and got some key defensive stops.

 We had to get stops the old-fashioned way. We were able to get a lot of stops and grind it out against them. We just had to use a tempo we aren't used too.
