defense definitely needed playing scoring tyson
That was definitely needed for this team. He was playing like Tyson can, getting rebounds, playing defense and scoring some points.
couple game guys step stops tonight
We made a couple of big plays. We had a couple of stops and that's what we need to do. We need to have guys step up when it really counts, when the game is on the line, and make plays, Tonight we did that.
build counts couple focused game guys spot starting stay step
We made a couple big plays, got a couple stops. That's what we need to do, have guys step up when it really counts with the game on the line. Hopefully, we're starting to build on something. We just need to stay focused and come to do it every night. We can't have any letdowns with the spot we're in right now.
care definitely game good home winning
We've just got to take care of home court, a place we haven't been very good this year. If we can go into the All-Star Game with a three-game winning streak, it definitely would help.
beat bunch continue detroit felt game key pay playing rebounds second team turned win won
We kind of beat ourselves. We didn't get key rebounds and we turned it over a bunch of times in the second half. A team like Detroit makes you pay for that. I think we're all disappointed. We wanted to win this game and felt like we should have won it. We just have to continue to play this way and hopefully, be playing in the postseason.
hold ourselves problem ready talk until
We can talk about it all we want, but until we do it, the problem is not going to be solved. It's our team, and we have to hold ourselves accountable and be ready to play every night. We just haven't done that.
court held home learned series
We learned how long a series is. Obviously, the series isn't over when you're down two games. They held their home court and we have to do the same.
basketball close playing type
We didn't come close to playing the type of basketball we need to play to win.
against aggressive definitely felt good tried
We felt like we got good looks. I think they definitely made adjustments. They tried to be a little more aggressive against our pick-and-roll game. But with all that said, we just didn't do a good enough job.
ahead anybody indiana overlook ready tuesday
We've got Indiana (on Tuesday night) next. We have to get ready for them ? that's it. We can't overlook anybody because we know Philadelphia is right ahead of us.
competing fighting group harder start together
We have to be able to make adjustments during the game. When things aren't going as well as we would like them to, we (need) to come together as a group and start competing harder ? that's when you should start fighting harder.
attacking knew relentless
He was relentless attacking the basket. Guarding him is not a one-man job, and we knew he was going to score.
There is no explanation. I mean, I don't know what to say.
game games hate lose lost needed time trip
I hate to say demoralizing, but to lose a game like that .... We've lost games like that before -- it's not the first time -- but this was a game we really needed for our trip and it's just frustrating not to get it.
