appreciate definitely healthy hope soon
I think we definitely appreciate the win, especially being short-handed. I think we appreciate it more. I hope we can get healthy as soon as possible.
bottom court definitely gotten home point rookie
It hasn't gotten to the point where it was like my rookie year, where we were getting booed every game, but it's definitely something we have to correct. It's just something we haven't done. We have to play a lot better on the home court -- that's the bottom line.
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.
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.
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.
against challenge definitely great hard players playing
I try to get up for the challenge of playing against great players all the time, and he's definitely one of the elite. So we'll go out there, play hard and see what happens.
bit plays stop
I thought we got a little bit stagnant, and they were able to make plays when they had to. We couldn't stop them when it counted.
basically bullied paint
(James) was able to get in the paint and basically do what we wanted. He just kind of bullied us.
goal highest seed
Our goal is to be the highest seed that we can. We have a lot to play for.
finish goal highest improve motivation move season seed shot
Our goal is to be the highest seed that we can. That is our motivation to move up. We have a shot to finish .500 for the season and improve our seeding. We have a lot to play for.
bench games gave helped played
Our bench gave us a big lift, which really helped with all the games we've played recently.
efforts normally second third
Our close-outs have been bad. We haven't been making the second and third efforts that we normally make.
blow chance continue gotta
I think it can be done. We gotta believe. But we won't have a chance if continue to blow opportunities like this one.
beat came felt win won
I think it came down to that we beat ourselves. We wanted to win this game, and we felt like we should have won this game.
