Everything's not clicking yet, but we're heading that way. It was a great learning experience today being able to fight back and staying with each other.
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.
I think it's a great situation for everyone, especially myself. I felt good tonight. I felt like I was moving pretty well and not in a lot of pain, so it was good.
He did a great job on the offensive glass, made some big baskets for them and showed some great touch right around the basket.
I haven't been around him in so long, not for anything other than our paths just haven't crossed. It was great to have some time ... and talk about old times.
It's great to get (home-court) wrapped up. I'm feeling good right now -- feeling healthy.
They're playing very well, probably the best basketball in the league right now. We're going to their house where they are even tougher and we haven't been that great on the road. So we're up for one heck of a challenge, and it will be a great time for it.
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.
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.
They hit some great shots. We did not have the game locked up, but we thought we had it in the bag. I went 1-for-6 (from the line) in the final (three) minutes and made some mental mistakes. But lesson learned, and it was a cheap one because we got the win.
It's a great feeling. A great feeling, ... In years past we've lost six, seven, eight, nine guys in a year, and rebuilt. I think we've really got a core here that we're in love with, that obviously is a pretty decent core, and we're going to have it together for a couple years.
It was a great defensive effort overall. We had a solid night defensively and that helped keep their score down. We are starting to get things worked out.
Beno has been playing great for us. With Nick out right now, Beno is getting a lot of minutes and he has really responded well.
