We've just been playing harder. I don't know why this has all of a sudden clicked like it has. We've said all along we have tools, we have talent. For a while, our effort just wasn't there, but I can't put a finger on why it was that way.
You always wanted to get that last win at home. The season hasn't gone exactly the way we wanted it to go, but you want to end it right - so that's what we're trying to do.
Maybe it'll be a good thing. Maybe we just need to get out of here and just say it's us or nothing.
We kept saying in the huddle that we're not going to lose to this team four times.
This was a huge boost for us. Now we feel like we can do some things. We've just played together. We talked all year about doing that.
We gave up 86 points in an overtime game. We've given that up in three quarters a lot of times lately.
We gave up 86 points in an overtime game. It seems like we've been giving up 86 points in three quarters in the last month.
We just didn't play well in the first half. That second, we played harder, played a lot better, a lot more energy.
We are playing with a greater sense of urgency, and Allen is leading us. I really feel like he's the key. He has a different look in his eye. When he has that look, he's pretty tough to stop.
We?re just playing together, we?re playing with a greater sense of urgency, and Allen is leading us. I really feel like he?s the key. He?s the leader and he?s been playing great. He?s been a lot more vocal. He has a different look in his eye. And when he has that look, he?s pretty tough to stop.
He hit that (three-pointer) over me in the first game of the season. I thought I contested it so hard the first game and he still made it. I was, like, 'Not again.' But he missed it.
We've been looking for something to get us going for a while. We had some long practices, we had some long meetings. But we got back to having fun out there. When you're having fun, you're going to player harder. When you're playing harder, you're playing better defense.
Shooting threes is always what I do best. If it's not what I do best, something is wrong with my game.
The second half is how we have to play. That half was played with a sense of urgency.
