against backs came character closing coming energy game grew home resilient says tons win
We really grew up, especially with that win in Game 3. We came in and our backs were against the wall. They came out with tons of energy at home and we were very resilient and got the win in Game 3. But that says a lot about our character coming in in Game 4 and really closing them out.
defensive gave guess percent
We're disappointed in our defensive effort. We gave up 50-some percent (53.2) shooting. I guess that's first-game jitters.
convinced game win
We think we can win a game with our defense. We're convinced about that.
chemistry defense fun playing trying
We're playing well together, the chemistry is there. We're very focused. We're trying to get better on defense every night. You can see the effort. It's fun. We're having a lot of fun out there playing basketball.
challenged goal good knew mission ourselves played quarters solid three win
We were down big and it was just real gutsy for us to be able to come back. We challenged ourselves in the huddle. We knew we hadn't played good 'D' at all, and for three quarters there we played lock-down, solid defense. That was huge, it was big for our confidence. That was our mission and our goal going into this trip, to win each game, and we did that.
energy hang
We are not going to hang our head. We're going to come out with a lot of energy (Friday vs. Dallas).
deal great playing
We aren't going to back down from anyone. We're playing with a great deal of confidence.
blow came eyes home looked minute trying
We came out trying to play our game, but they came out really focused. They had that look in their eyes like it was going to be their night. ... For a minute there, it looked like they were going to blow us out on our home court.
affects circumstance guys hurt quite
Under the circumstances, I think we are doing quite well. We are doing the same things as if we had all our guys healthy. Nothing really affects us. There are no excuses. Everyone is hurt in this league.
good sign stopped
We stopped them when we had to. That's the sign of a good team.
results sweet time
We accomplished most of our goals, and now it's time to put it all together. The results will be sweet if we do.
lakers heat missions
My mission is to kill; whether it's the Heat, whether it's the Lakers. Hopefully both. That's my mission, and that's what I'm here to do.
steps want court
Every time I step on the court I want to be up there with the best.
idols years trying
My idol, Gary Payton, played 19 years. I definitely want to try to reach that.
