hoping improved last saw since sure thinking
We're thinking 'one day at a time,' and hoping to get a little better each day. Have we improved since we last saw them (Jan. 20)? For sure we have.
came needed nice turned
We needed to be balanced. Bender came in and did a nice job. I think he turned the tide.

Usually the reason somebody makes a serving substitution is because the other guy is struggling or the other team is passing him well. You want some contrasts (in the serves).
found lucky
We were very lucky tonight. We found a way to win.
game missed missing precise seen serves stop ways
We were so in system. They couldn't stop us at all. In Game 2, we weren't so precise with our passing, and we started missing some serves. In Game 3, we really started missing some serves. ... We missed some serves in ways I haven't seen out of our guys.
moment night played sure whether winning worrying
We played in the moment all night long. That was the key. We didn't play worrying about whether we were winning or losing. I'm pretty sure that's the way to do it.
games played start
We didn't start off so good, but then we got on our game, and we played well in Games 2 and 3.
barely believe eyes honest saw
To be honest with you, I can barely believe what I saw with my eyes.
attention concerned pay second
We're not too concerned about (the polls) right now. We're second in the league, which is what I pay attention to.
We're rounding into form. We're getting better each day.
facial hard shows teammate
There are some things that are really hard to see (on video), like facial expressions. That's important. That shows how he reacts. That shows what kind of teammate he is.
