I've never been involved in a game where every person brought that amount of energy to the floor. I've never seen it where guys fought for so hard for 40 minutes on both sides. We just got lucky and made the last shot.

You can't stop a big guy like that. You just have to hope he doesn't totally destroy you. If you do too much, and send too many guys his way, he is a great passer. He just knows how to put the ball in the basket and make everyone better.

They need Gerry out there on the court to be their best, I assume.

These guys aren't afraid to miss. We made some shots today. That makes your offense look a lot better.
