Our last two (games), we looked like a team that wanted to go home.

It definitely helps, being on the streak we're on, and the way we're playing. You need to play a perfect game to beat these guys.

It wasn't really a chip (on my shoulder), just focus. I wanted to get my first win. They brought me here not to win 49 (regular-season) games, but to win playoff games.

He was relentless. He wanted to win this game. You could see it in his eyes.

His confidence just grew and grew as the game wore on. It was great to see. He was phenomenal tonight.

They come at you from start to finish. We expected that, and we knew if we wanted to continue the streak, we had to keep playing, take that first blow and keep competing to get the win.

For us to have success in that streak, we had to play many types of styles, and we were able to succeed.

His ability was always there. I think with the confidence it's just made him flourish. He's going to get what he deserves.

I certainly thought I was going to get the call. There was a lot of contact on that play. At least two guys hit me.

It was one of those things where you're in a zone. You hit a couple and things are going well and your teammates find you. I was trying to take shots within the flow of the offense. I wasn't trying to force anything.
blew opportunity twice win
I play to win and I had the opportunity at the end twice and I blew it. I blew the opportunity.
height people seen
Because of his height and some of the things he can do. I don't know if many people have seen some things he can do. But if he can make his dunks, he can make his way to the final.

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.
bother enjoy
It was beautiful. It doesn't bother me at all. I enjoy it.
