bit both lost played
I thought we played really well for stretches and periods, both defensively, offensively. I thought we got up 18-20, we lost a little bit of our concentration.
basically both control played third took unit
I thought the first unit played well in both of their stints. They basically took control in the third quarter.
both confidence defense feed scoring
We have a lot of confidence in our defense and when you're scoring offensively, they both feed off of each other.
ability both defend execute lose
We're not going to lose our personality. Our personality is still our ability to defend and to execute offensively, and we did both today.
bench both chicago game good minutes needed plays
Going into this game we needed the bench to give us both good minutes and good production, which they did. Chicago plays physical, they play hard. But to our credit, we can play that way.
both defense fun game people sure turned
The defense turned it up, no question. Offensively, we turned things up. ... It was at both ends. That's why this has been a championship team. It was a fun game to watch. I'm sure the people at TNT got their money's worth.
aggressive both ends entertainment extremely games people team watch win
We also are in the entertainment business. I've always been one to go out and win games but also entertain, and I think we've become a team now that a lot of people like to watch play, because we play extremely aggressive at both ends of the floor.
both ends gave spark
Mo gave us a spark at both ends of the court.
bench boost both came confidence ends frame gave guys
Mo (Evans) gave us a boost at both ends tonight. Guys have confidence in him. The guys on the bench want to play more, but they have to do what he did. He came with the right frame of mind.
both glass previous saw tonight
They pounded the glass both ways. I saw more lob dunks tonight than I saw in the previous 56 games.
basically basketball both game hyped maybe meant saw teams
You saw both teams as basically who they are -- meat-and-potato teams. Maybe this is why the game wasn't hyped as much. This is what basketball was meant to be like -- play defense, play team basketball.
basically both saw teams
You saw both teams as basically who they are - both meat-and-potato teams.
barometer ben both energy forward guard heart positions soul three works
He's the barometer for their team. He is the heart and soul of their team. He can play three positions (shooting guard and both forward spots), and he works so hard. He is kind of like their Ben. Ben is our energy guy, and Shane is theirs.
both guys hopefully work
Hopefully we'll play these guys again. But we both have a lot of work to do before that.
