A quality season is defined by winning ugly games. When you're making all your shots and there is a flow, it's all there, it's easy for everybody. ... When you look back, a great season sometimes comes down to winning these games.
adjust opportunity second work
We had the opportunity to work on things, play a combination of players, and adjust our defense, especially in the second half.
When we got down eight, we ratcheted it up and went to another level.
