I thought we really kept our composure, kept fighting. We just kind of found a way to get it done.
I thought we played well enough to win. When you penetrate and pump fake on shots like we did it moves the defense with you. Parker was great tonight like he has been all year.
It (stinks) - especially because we really feel like we gave this one away. The last game we got beat pretty good. Tonight we come out and try to sure up a couple of things, and we still get a bunch of turnovers and missed free throws, and we still have a chance to win down the stretch and give it away.
It was surprising how he shot the ball tonight, but he got in a zone there, got his rhythm down, came off and was real confident with his shot. He had an unbelievable night and he's had an unbelievable year.
It should be a blast. To have the entire team there, (the people) are psyched.
It's great to get (home-court) wrapped up. I'm feeling good right now -- feeling healthy.
It was a play that Flip drew up with a lot of options to it, ... I was just one of the options. Shaq was the first one, Ray was the second and I was kind of the third.
Everybody came on. I'm not surprised, but pleased with the focus. Even with the score, they didn't want a letdown. They came in and played hard. Everybody understands. From one (minute) to 48, they did it the right way. All-in-all it was a very solid game.
It's gotten a little bit better. Same old, same old.
Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best.
I've just tried to do my part as best I can, and down at the end there, I was lucky enough to get that stop, rebound and seal it.
That's a tough situation, but it is how it is set up and people are going to have to play for it. We're going to try to play and play for that No. 1 spot and try to work it from there.
When you have to stop and think about things is when they go wrong.
They did a great job double-teaming me. I got in foul trouble, my shots weren't going down, and things just weren't working my way. I tried to be as aggressive as I could, but they were defending me very well. I finally got some shots to go down late in the game when it seemed like it didn't matter anymore.
