We enjoy the challenge of beating teams on their home turf. The fans will be going crazy and screaming for them like they should, and the Bucks will be feeding off that. We enjoy that level of competition.

My guys look for me to step up in that magnitude and I take the challenge every time. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, but you've got to have a guy that will take those shots and deal with the consequences.
I thought they never were going to miss. We weren't making anything early.
I think we'll be a lot better offensively. Defensively, we could be as good. But when you play a faster-paced game, naturally, that other team is going to score a couple more points.
I think we'll be a little bit more up-tempo,
I think that for whatever reason we think that we can coast to the finish line, and not do what we have done all season. We are getting away from what we do, and guys are looking too far ahead to the playoffs. We have to do the things that we have always done. Teams aren't just going to lay down for us.
Larry beat him up too much. He tore the kid's confidence apart too much, and it was tough for him to recover,
We're definitely going to see those guys down the road. They're one of the elite teams in the league, so at some point ... we're going to lock up.
You all know that sometimes we get bored. When something like that happens, it just fuels our fire a little bit, and good luck to the other team when that happens.
We're a family. You know we were going to come to his aid. But we weren't really surprised by that. Ever since that first little incident, every game we play they play a little extra hard and foul a little extra hard. Hey, it's part of the game.
We got beat at some of our own things. Energy, aggressiveness, hitting the boards, they beat us at all of that.
We came into this game really focused on what we needed to do, making some adjustments. That team just fought. They just fought. You have to give them a lot of credit, but come fourth quarter . . . we just had to grind it out.
Our focus today was to just come out and play our game and take what the defense gives us. I love when our bench gets the opportunity to play a lot of extended minutes. Whenever we get that opportunity, it's a big plus.
