It's a conference game, it's two of the best teams going against each other. Who would want to miss that? |
It's a great compliment. All I do is come here and work hard and try to do whatever I can to help us win. Hopefully, that makes his job easier. |
It's a pretty bad one. We have to turn this thing around if we want to have a good showing in the playoffs. |
It's always good to win, no matter how you get it. It's tough to get back into the mindset after almost a week off. |
It's big when you hit free throws. That's a free opportunity to get points so you want to take that opportunity and run with it. That's a good job for us to make that high a percent. |
It's cool. I still roll like we've been doubted all year long. We just have to prove people wrong. |
It's not as bad as the last one. |
My community needs me a lot more than the country right now. I'm going home to do that for the kids. |
That comes with that communication and the defensive scheme we've been working on all year. It's just been great team defense. If we communicate and do the things coach wants us to do, we win. |
The day before yesterday [Thursday] I couldn't bend over. But now I'm fine. |
They have great players on their team and they don't quit. We had them up by 10 twice and just couldn't put them away. It's hard like that when you have a great team like that your playing against. We finished it out when we needed to at the end. |
This was a tough game. These are the hardest games when you come off a break. We're getting back into the swing of things. Guys went out and had a good vacation, but it's always good to get a win no matter how we get it. |
Through this whole winning streak, we've been playing great team defense. The last two times we played the Lakers, we didn't play great defense and let them take advantage of it. We got tired of it. |
We did a great job with our team defense on him. Everybody who had a chance to guard him did a hell of a job. |
We didn't execute well. (Davis and Richardson) really hurt us in the fourth quarter. We just didn't communicate. |
