I wasn't pleased with the way we started tonight. I don't know if it was a hangover from the road trip, but in the second half, the guys came out and played much harder and did a good job. We had a hot hand with Elton Brand and we just rode it.

He's totally fine. We just didn't feel like last night we would take a chance and not have a body if we needed one. I assume he'll be ready for practice tomorrow.
