acting ball came halftime though totally word
We came out at halftime totally casual. Just kind of winging the ball all over the place, acting as though they were going to give us the game. We've done this so many times now. The only word I can think of is unacceptable.
across confident focused good guys
We did what we had to do. We were able to get off to a better start. Our guys were confident and relaxed, yet focused from the start. We had good performances across the board.
assuming both building games home needed series win won
We did what we had to do. We needed both of these games and we got it done. They won at home and we won at home. We know going into the series we have to win one in their building assuming you win at home. This makes it a series right now. We'll go down there and do our best.
played win
We did what we had to do. We had to win this game. We played better, but they didn't play like they played in Miami.
came
We did what we had to do. We came out and we had a lot of energy.
ball bit came good played selection shot
We did what we had to do. We came out and played with energy, I thought we had good ball movement. Our shot selection was excellent, and I think they were a little bit off.
field game goals nice obviously rhythm running
We had a nice rhythm going. We just started fouling. We had about 10 more field goals at the half, yet it was still a game. Usually you are running away with a game like that. It is obviously a big problem.
ball came casual lead nice run second sloppy tried
We had a nice lead at halftime. Then we came out casual with the ball and sloppy with everything that we tried to run in the second half.
ball clever delivering guys people sort whereas
We'll go down there and try to get other guys the ball on the move, whereas Eddy could sort of overpower people sometimes. We may have to be a little more clever about how we're delivering the ball.
building hard record talked
We don't have the record in this building that we should have. We have talked about it many times. It is hard to figure.
control difficult great
We'd like to have some control over (our destiny). It will be very difficult to do, because we know that we have to play great teams, but that's what we would like to happen.
game needed urgency
We were all disappointed after the game the other night, and we did not play with the urgency we needed in such a big game.
coming front full game good guys home maybe momentum pick team
We were able to pick up a full game on the team right in front of us. I think it is important that the guys go home with a good game under their belt. Maybe we will have a little momentum coming out of the break.
definitely turned
We definitely turned (the intensity) up a notch. As a result, we stole one.
