We're just an entirely different team in the fourth quarter. We're so mentally tough and we've seen every different situation so many times that when we face something, we know which way to attack it.
We're just looking to be consistent now. Hopefully we can keep being good defensively and keep working offensively. That started a few games ago; we had a good win last night so we just want to keep it going.
We're battle tested. We're been in that situation so many times. We just had our confidence.
We've all got to get in there and help Ben. For so long here, we've kind of leaned on Ben and felt he was going to get every one of them. We've all got to make an effort.
We are a team that truly embodies what team is about. We're unselfish. We all got here by doing the right things and playing the right way. I think people are starting to recognize that.
We're still a long way away from 72. If we're close in March, come talk to me then.
When he gets a tech, he always seems to be a little more in tune with what's going on. We ran his plays a little more after that, trying to keep him going.

We were trying to go to him, inside or outside. He was very aggressive and his shots were falling, so we were going to keep going to him until he tired himself out.
We were trying to go to him, inside and outside. We were going to keep going to him until he got tired.
The regular season got us the home court throughout the playoffs, and that was our goal. Now it's time to get down to business.
I get a lot more confidence winning games playing defense than winning the run-and-gun game.
I play harder when my family is watching.
Even when it's midnight, people are watching you. It's difficult to be in the spotlight all the time.
