They have a solid team. Elton is having a heck of a year. He hurt us last time, so we decided to come after him. We made it difficult for him tonight.
Defensively, I thought we were pretty solid. Our game plan was there, but it?s just about putting some balls in the hole.
I made a shot or two early, and my confidence kind of blossomed from there. I just kind of held it throughout the game.
He's such a fun-loving guy and a good guy. He's one of great guys in the basketball, period. I don't think you could find anybody that would say a bad word about him and you love to root for a guy like that.
It's a big game for us. We'll come back a little more energized and ready to go.
I think Pop's still mad that we should have had 81 (victories) or something. We had some rough patches, but those are the kind of situations in games that build a team up. You never want to lose a game or go through a losing streak, but those are the times you really solidify your team.
I've already gotten a bunch, so I'm hoping it will clear up a bit.
It's a situation you obviously don't want to be in, but those two games are gone. Our concern now is these next two games. They're going to be big for us. We have to shift our focus to that.
It was a good night all around. We moved the ball well. We got a lot of guys a lot of minutes.
It started from horn to horn. We shot the ball well. We moved the ball well. Our defense was solid.
It was a good night all around. We moved the ball very well and were able to get a lot of guys a lot of minutes. It was a good victory, and now we prepare for the next one.
They were solid all along. That's what killed us. Defensively, we tried to make them make some mistakes and get some turnovers, but they moved the ball well. Elton Brand was incredible. It seemed like he didn't miss a shot out there.
I don't even know how he got it off, honestly. I think he shot it with his left hand. I went after his right hand, thinking he was going to float it with the time going down like that, but somehow he got it up there and it stayed up there on the rim and went in. It was just a great shot, a great effort by those guys to turn a turnover into a fast-break that quickly and get it to the rim.
He was great tonight. He made all of the shots down the stretch and made some great moves. His play down the stretch was the difference in the game tonight.
