biggest difference played whatever
I think that the biggest difference is that we played harder, for whatever reason.
concerned played pull road
We played well tonight. We just didn't pull it off. But we're not really concerned about what we're doing on the road right now.
control felt free games played win
We played well tonight. We felt we had it in control at the end, and we just had to make some free throws. It was very important to get this win. With about 24 games left, we need every win we can get.
defense effort extra fourth gave played quarter solid turned
We turned it on at the right time. We played solid defense all the way through, and in the fourth quarter we gave that extra effort and got the win.
attack played pressure trash waited
We know we played like some trash out there. And now we know we need to play a lot better than we did. We need to put the pressure on them. I think we just set back and waited for them to attack us. We have to be the first ones to be aggressive.
bend pain played
It's in a lot of pain. It's throbbing right now. I can't bend over. But you go through the season, you're going to get injured. You're going to play with pain. I've played with pain before.
continue defensive good last played player stop talking thinks trash
It's good because he is a defensive player and he really thinks he can stop me. We started talking trash when they played here last game, so I know that's going to continue when we get out there.
basketball brand decided destroyed game played
As well as they played in Game 1, we thought we destroyed ourselves. We didn't play our kind of basketball. We didn't do anything we preached. We decided to come out here (last night) and play our brand of basketball.
third toward weird win
It got weird toward the end on this one, but it was our third win in a row.
helping watching
While everyone's watching on TV, they need to be helping at the same time.
dug early fighting fights-and-fighting fourth quarter stops
We dug down deep. We got stops early in the fourth quarter and from there they were just fighting to get back.
destiny fifth focus lay resting
Our focus is just like tonight. We know they are going to be resting their guys, but we can't lay down for that because we need that win. This is our destiny and we have it in our hands. So If we want to get the fifth spot, we have to go out there and play like it.
found freedom seem teams tough
It didn't seem possible, but they've found a way to improve. They have so much more freedom with the ball, and they still make it tough on teams with their defense.
breath catch few happiness happy help however past seem shock solid state
Some of them seem happy and some are still kind of in a state of shock over everything they've been through, ... I think they are just happy to be on solid ground. Get a meal. Take a shower. Just catch their breath after what they've been through the past few days. I just wanted to be here to say: 'Welcome to D.C. We're here to help you however we can.'
