chances game offensive played stretch tonight
We had our chances tonight in the game that we never really played great, never had any offensive rhythm. We had one stretch where we did; other than that, we didn't and we just didn't come through.
great needed road win
You know we're going to make it close. But this was a great win for us. We needed a road win.
came knew last night ready talked understood
You knew they were going to come at you. It was a no-brainer. I don't think we understood that. Last night we came out ready to play and we were focused. We talked about that tonight, but they did it.
games quite seen ugliest
We didn't play well. One of the referees said this was one of the ugliest games he's seen in quite some time. And I told him I agree, but I wanted it to look pretty for us at the end. Unfortunately it didn't.
game halftime second special
Wade was sensational. We said at halftime that he would try to take the game over in the second half, and he did. He's a special player.
enjoys exciting fact floor group playing talent team work
We have a lot of work to do as a team and I can see that. It's exciting because I do see the talent on the floor and I like the fact that this group enjoys playing with each other.
absolutely defense half second
The defense in the second half was phenomenal. They switched. They talked. They communicated. That was absolutely incredible.
ball care moved moving taking year
We've never had stints this year where we've moved the ball and executed too. We have to do both. We are getting to that part of it now where we're taking care of the ball and moving it. It's been really nice.
gets
When he gets it going like that, I don't know what you can do.
beautiful both draw early game tough
I don't think you're going to draw much from this game at all, it was not a beautiful game in any way. I really thought it was tough for both teams, you could see early on, to get it going.
gave guys
I don't think our young guys gave us anything.
help locker people pick realize until value walks
He's going to help us. When, I don't know. It could be tonight. It could be whenever. With his size, he's going to have a value for us. You don't realize how big he is until he walks into your own locker room. He was a No. 1 pick and hasn't done what people thought he would, but I think there's still time.
benefit given great hope legs next number year
He's given us great hope and he's given us great confidence. I didn't see this out of him this year. I just thought it would take next year before he got his legs under him. Benefit number one is his health.
floor zone
He's been great. He's been in a zone on the floor, off the floor with teammates. He's just been in a zone all the way around.
