bend bumped diagnosis felt knees leg pain ready tests
I couldn't straighten my leg or bend it. It felt like I bumped knees at first, but the pain got more and more intense. Then I didn't try to get up. I don't really know what the diagnosis is, but I'm getting ready to go over and get some tests done.

I am (jealous). Because I know he's somewhere about to watch the game tonight, probably got a couple of cocktails.

He is their superstar, he is their go-to man. When they needed a win, they went to him. He pulled it out for them and did what he had to do to get this team a win.
bend bump felt knees leg pain players
I couldn't straighten or bend my leg when I went down. It felt more like when players bump knees at first. Then the pain just started getting worse. After that, I just didn't even try to get up.
aggressive defense easy forcing passing played pushing result stuff
We started off pushing the ball. Got a lot of easy shots, got in the passing lane, played aggressive defense and as a result of that, we were getting a lot of easy stuff and forcing them to do things that they didn't want to do.
elite expect game mean minutes problem teams understanding win
We have a problem understanding that just because we are up 12 or 15 with 3 minutes to go, that doesn't mean the game is over. We just can't do this if we expect to win and be one of the elite teams in the league.
feeding finish games great kept needed paint teammates win
This was one of those games that we needed to win to try to get over the hump. I got it going, and my teammates kept feeding me the ball, and I was able to put it in the basket. I got great positioning in the paint all game and I was able to finish at the rim.
dominated felt game key opening plays stretch tip took
This was a game from the opening tip that we felt like we could have won. We dominated the whole game where we did what we wanted to do on offense, and took them out of what they wanted to do on their offense. They made some key plays down the stretch and we didn't.
everybody goes guys hurt step stepping
We know guys are banged up and hurt, and then Brevin goes down. When that happens, other guys have to step up and make a play. Right now everybody is stepping up to the challenge.
controlled focus settled
We let them back in the game. Once we settled down and got out focus back we controlled the game.
