They have an emotional connection. It's not just out of curiosity or politeness. People feel passionate.
deserved energy home tough
They had energy at home and they made some tough shots. They made some step-back jumpers when we were right on them. Give them credit. They deserved to win.

We've been here before. We've had winning streaks, we've had losing streaks, and we've had blowout wins and blowout losses, so we've run the gauntlet of emotions. With this team I don't think it will be a problem for us responding to the way we played Saturday.

I just wanted to do what it took to win. I gotta give my teammates all the credit. I shot well but I never really felt in a groove because there weren't any tough shots. I was open most of the time.
desert drive goes group grown love people places provide true
I love the Desert Survivors, because this group goes to all those places other people just drive past. And I've grown to love the desert because of all its wide-open spaces. They provide me with a true sense of peacefulness and freedom.
coach man personally quit type
I know coach Q. I know him personally as a man and as a coach, and he's just not that type of person to give up on us. ... I know he didn't quit on us. I know he's not that type of person. He doesn't have that type of character.
