finding help needed quite teammates tonight
That's something I needed tonight to help my confidence. I haven't had a night like that in quite a while. My teammates were finding me.
encourage game goes intensity involved next pick playoffs three
It's very important that we make it to the playoffs and that we pick our game up in these next 19 games. The intensity goes up and we've got to pick it up. It is new (to many of the Bucks). You just try to encourage them and tell them what's going on. I've been involved in the playoffs three times and it's a challenge.
focus
Grabbing, holding, crowding, everything. So their focus is on me. It's no secret.

Those signs are the real deal. They're our standard and what we strive for in every game.

To average 30 against Detroit, that's a slap in their face. They're not going to take that.

We needed it bad. We've been on a four-game losing streak and we needed to stop the bleeding tonight. Fortunately we did that. By any means necessary tonight we needed a win.

We have to win this game. It's win or go home. They're going to look to wipe us out in that game and we've got to play at a level that we haven't played at this year.

We had to get this win tonight. We played with a sense of urgency.
beat blew fairly game half month months open played second team
We were re-evaluating ourselves, that's all. It was a disappointing loss. We beat this team about a month and a half ago, two months ago. ... We played them fairly well through the first half of the game and they blew it open in the second half too much.
extremely game minutes needed played shots took
We didn't make shots at the end of the game when we really needed it. We played extremely well for 36 minutes of the game, but at the end of the game they really took over.

We'll see what happens. Hopefully we can get something worked out.

We were determined to start off well. Loved it. We need that every night.
