There's always a weakness in every team. They have had a lot of games this season where they are down 15 and they come back. That just shows how dominating of a team they are, and it also shows that sometimes they are less focused for 40 minutes. That may leave the door open for us.
Jon, he is just a bruiser. Arizona, we don't think they're that tough on the inside. Jon's going to have a big game inside, we think.
They were physical, they were banging me. Coming off screens, they were grabbing me. It was one of those games.
He allows his players to play in up-tempo situations, and he's cool off the court. The team's game is up, and he makes basketball look fun.
I've seen where you can score 35 in two games in a row, and once you lose, you can't get it.
Any time you lose three in row it gets hard to put the game away, so I took it myself to put it away.
