It definitely helps, the big game experience we've had in the past, especially last year. I guess that really showed coming down the stretch, when we were able to keep our composure when they made their run. |
We came out with great intensity at the beginning, knocking down shots and stuff like that. Then in the second half they came out with a run like we expected. But fortunately we withstood it and were able to come out with a victory. |
We went into this game very prepared. We went over their tendencies and what they do, so we knew pretty much knew what to expect from them. (Rudolph) is a great player. He's very talented and that's the only way you can do it, is just keep fresh bodies on him, have good defenders on him at all times. |
