It was definitely nice to avenge that loss. We got it done despite foul trouble, which has been the story of the month.

Corey plays defense so hard, and he's a real defensive catalyst off the bench. Lamar also had one of his better games at the defensive end. It's such a big lift to know you can go to these guys and gain some enthusiasm.
assist build fed foul game gets goes guys helps impressive mix pulls quick raised relaxed scores trouble
I put him right into the mix and the one thing about him that was so impressive was how relaxed he was. Once again, we're in some foul trouble and Stephan goes in a scores a quick bucket, pulls down some rebounds, gets an assist and helps us build an eight-point lead. The other guys fed off of him and raised their game to another level.

We have to keep the pace at a comfortable level for us. We want to be slow on offense and fast on defense. In other words, we want to make them work offensively.
bench build came capable credit deep due eventually foul fourth gave guys held hold lead needed onto opponents quarter scoring spark
We still had guys capable of scoring in the lineup and fortunately we are deep enough to hold opponents off or even build on a lead when we get in foul trouble. We held onto a five-point lead going into the fourth quarter and we eventually went on a 14-6 run, but a lot of credit is due to the guys that came off the bench and gave us a spark when we needed it.
