I thought we were going to pull it out. We're right there the whole game. We kept fighting our way back. That's a big plus for us -- on the road, playing against a team like that and we were able to do some things.
against finish great teams
We didn't finish what we started, and against great teams in the postseason you have to find a way to get it done. We just didn't do that.
We accomplished a lot, but we just didn't finish.

I feel like a thief. And I don't steal. Put two and two together. It ain't because of me. Ain't because of me. I had 50 in the first. You tell me. You do the math. Last time I checked. That's all I'm saying. They do what they do. They're trying to turn me into a thief, but I ain't a thief.
