figure plays
We just have to figure out how to make plays at the end.
defend figure improve mediocre rebound teams time until
Until we figure out that we're not going to outscore teams all the time and that we'll have to defend and rebound before we think about scoring, we're going to be a mediocre team. That's something we're going to have to improve on this summer.
cherish close moment people stay teach team together usual
Times like these teach us to cherish every moment we have and be more appreciative of the people in our lives. That's why I think it's important for our team to stay close together right now. We need to huddle around each other a little more than usual right now.
chris eventually guard minutes numbers played plays point therefore totally
You can't compare. Because Chris is a point guard and Marvin is a 3, sometimes he plays 4. They're totally different games. Chris has played a lot more minutes than Marvin has played, so therefore his numbers are a lot better than what Marvin's are. Eventually Marvin's numbers will go the other way.
games
We were in games like this all year. We never quit.
exhausted figure fought ourselves struggled trying
We fought back and exhausted ourselves trying to get back in the game. We've got to figure out how to play back-to-back (games). We've struggled with that all year.
fought hurt maintain stay striking struggled within zone
We fought hard. Their zone hurt us early, and we struggled a little bit, but we were still able to maintain and stay within striking distance.
defended last needed proper sets stop until
We defended it right up until the end. I think we made proper switches on their last sets and we were able to get the stop when we needed it.
anyone good starters
We made them play their starters big minutes. That's what you want, but their starters are as good as anyone in the league.
character coming created found fourth guys number overcome problems step tremendous
We showed a lot of character coming back from 12 down. I thought Iverson was tremendous tonight. He created so many problems for us, but I like that we found a way to overcome that and get the win. We had a number of guys step up in the fourth quarter.
chance fighting forget kept low moments move win
We had some low moments when we got down but we kept fighting and had a chance at the end to win it or at least go into overtime. You just have to forget about it and move on.
credit fighting games
We haven't had games like this where we're not even in the game. Give Philadelphia credit because they're fighting for something (playoffs). That's where I want to be with this team.
against close couple far free games gone good hat kids road tip tonight
We have had a couple good road wins, but this is by far the best. Our young kids did it tonight and you need to tip your hat to them. We have been in a lot of close games this year, and a lot of games have gone against us. Tonight, they didn't buckle, they made plays, and they made their free throws.
close games plays refused
We have had a lot of close games that we just didn't make plays down the stretch, but we refused to lose tonight.
