game guys hard kicking neither playing team teams took win
Our guys wanted to win the game because of the butt kicking we took in Houston. It wasn't a 'get back.' Neither team is going to the playoffs. It's just two teams playing hard but not playing for anything.
attack press took
We didn't attack them in the (defensive) press very well, and they took us out of our offense.
angles atlanta guys healthy tony took
We've got to get to Atlanta and get healthy before (tonight) because we've got a lot of guys banged up. We couldn't do much with Tony Parker. We took away his angles to run, but he still managed to get to the basket.
chances felt focus focused game goal good hopeful improvement legitimate night point team took
There is a lot to be hopeful for and the focus is here. I wanted to keep the team focused on improvement and that was my goal when I took the job. I think it got to a point where I felt good every night about our chances to win. And that's what you want, to go into each game with a legitimate chance to win.
best care clearly defense points season took
Our defense was clearly the best it's been all season long. We got a lot of points off our defense and that was pretty much it. We took care of business.
ball hand jump shots took
He took jump shots with a hand in his face. He shot the ball a lot but when he had to make them he made his share.
quarter took
It was great. It was like a place revisited in my life. And I think the first quarter, it took me a quarter to kind of feel as comfortable as I should. Then once I got that first quarter over with, it was great.
defensive finishing miss sets talked
I thought that we just couldn't keep them off the boards. We talked about finishing our defensive sets and we'd get them to miss and then they'd get the rebound.
changing good half practices
I thought under the circumstances of having only one and a half to two practices and changing systems, we were pretty good out there. Overall, I was really pleased.
boil concepts free improve line throw
I think (we can make a run). We have to improve the defense. The concepts are better but it's going to boil down to them. (Tonight) just can't happen. We can't let them go to the free throw line like that.
breakfast good happen impression length talked
I think there is a sense of relief. We talked at length at breakfast and I got the impression that it was going to happen and it was a good feeling. I have been working as if this thing was going to happen, but it's good to know it is done.
good
Just an all-around good win. One of our best.
credit deserves effort guy lots position ready supposed surprised
I think Damien Wilkins deserves lots and lots of credit for this one. I was a little surprised that he scored so many points, but I wasn't surprised in his effort or his defense. That's what a guy in his position is supposed to be ready to do.
goal ourselves position positive team
Our goal right now as a team is to put ourselves in position to do something positive with the season.
