This is a win we are grateful to have. It was a great comeback.
detroit five great players starting vote
Detroit has great players. I never thought there would ever be a day that I would vote for a whole starting five to be on the all-star team, and I did. They have great players and a great team.
call complain game great literally year
There wasn't much of anything that was called for us out there tonight. They literally complain about every call the whole game long. That's their style. That's what they do. They've had a great year doing it. I don't know what that says.
athletic banks create davis great problems push speeds tempo wing
Banks speeds up the tempo a little bit. He can really push it and create a lot of problems. Davis is a great scorer and a great athletic wing player.
certainly elevate great guys players teams time year
This is the time of year when the great players and the great teams elevate their play. We need all of our guys to elevate their play. He's certainly an important part of that.

It was just a great comeback. Their defense was active, but we finally got it going. We started to get some stops and then Ben was just huge.
backup blocks center changes defender ends game great minutes plays shots
He plays 20 minutes a game and consistently blocks shots all over the place. He's a great defender and still changes ends very well. He's an intimidating-type player. To have a backup center like him is a luxury.
bad ball finding games great guys happy job nice weapon
I'm very happy about it. Our guys have done a great job of finding each other out there. We don't take many bad threes; most of them are off the ball movement. We've had games where we haven't made them as well, and we've still been able to win. But it's a nice weapon to have.
career college continue feeling good great guard liked looks pro watching wherever
Luther's been great. I liked watching him in college. I think he's a great all-around player. My feeling is, wherever his career is going, he's probably going to continue to get minutes. He looks like a good pro guard to me.
bet great guys longer pride recent start taking took year
It took us a little longer this year for the guys to really start taking a lot of pride in it. But they did and they got it accomplished. I bet if you went back in the recent 20 or 30 years in the league, nobody's ever done it with guys this young. When you think about that, it's a great accomplishment for a young team.
phenomenal shoot
He was on. When he's on like that, he can shoot over people. His threes were dialed in. It was a phenomenal display.
