It's a great feeling winning the division, but as my grandma would say we have bigger fish to fry. Right now, we're just trying to keep winning and go to the playoffs on a high.

It's a great feeling. They really beat on us last year and in the playoffs. We just weren't on their level. It's been great to see our team come together in this streak.

The big picture is to win as many games as possible. I had no clue (about making the playoffs). Nobody mentioned it. We just have to win as many games as we have left.

It's important to us to find time to rest. There's not much practice time and it's go, go, go. We want to push hard early.

The second half was a different story. We picked our defense up and attacked them and tried to put pressure on them for a change and try and create easy baskets. It was the turning point for us.
hard slow stepping
Once they started stepping it up, it was hard to slow them down.

A big basket was needed. If we don't make it, it would give them the opportunity to tie or cut it to one. I just wanted to be patient and take what I could get.
chance felt half points position win
It's just one of those things that happens. We were down 10 points at the half and still felt like we had a chance to win the game, because we've been in that position before.
