We were good in all aspects of the game tonight. Earlier in the year, they embarrassed us at home so we felt we owed them one and wanted to come in here tonight and get us one. We weren't going to take them lightly.
We need every game from here on out. We're trying to put together a couple of strings, win nine out of 10, to see what we can do and make a run for the playoffs.
I couldn't hit a shot, that's all I remember. I have not shot that well in this arena. Before the game I went to check the (game) ball and tried to see if they were doing something with it.
We played hard tonight. Our top guns weren't in the game so we had to play hard. I got to the free throw line a lot. It was a good win for us.
It's a big road trip and every game is crucial. It was just a case where we were a little more aggressive. Once we made some shots, everything just started to click on all cylinders.
It was not really a high-scoring game but we were able to withstand their runs. We rebounded good but didn't shoot well. We helped each other out more than we have been doing in the past.
It seemed like we wanted this tonight. Everybody's coming together. We've been playing great our last couple games here. Now we need to see if it carries over in Phoenix (on Friday).
Kenny does all the little things. I can't remember him taking a lot of bad shots. He does all the stuff that role players do.
I talked to Ron a couple of times. He comes to play and he plays hard every night. That's what we need, regardless of what he does off the court.
It feels good to get my career-high in points, but that doesn't really matter. I'm just glad that we won the game. We need to get as many wins as we can here at home.
We needed this win and we definitely thought it was a win we could get, so we just had to come out and get it.
We needed it more. We weren't hitting too many shots, but we pulled it out in the end. I know we it gave it our all, even though our shots weren't going in.
We got the stops when we needed to and started making shots at the end.
We're going to keep trying to move our way up. We hit a little hot streak and hopefully we can keep it up.
