build game momentum starting step took tough
That was a tough one. We were starting to build some momentum and this game we took a little step back.
chasing game harder needed swing
We needed this win. That's a big swing game when you're chasing someone in the playoffs. We made it harder on ourselves.
game playing question stayed
We didn't play the game the right way. They went on a run, they stayed aggressive. That team's playing better. They're a lot better than their record. No question about it.
basket drives easier finds fourth game open pressure puts settle took
He took over the game with his drives to the basket in the fourth quarter. He puts so much pressure on the defense, doesn't settle for jumpers. When the double-team comes, he finds the open players, making it easier on him in the long run.
easy game road solid
It's not easy to play on the road in this league. We have to play a well-rounded, solid game to get over the hump.
forgot people seemed whatever
I was an All-Star in this league, and it seemed like some people forgot that, for whatever reason.
lost trying
I think we completely lost our composure. We were up and it was like we were just trying to find a way to lose.
against came good great kobe second team
Kobe was the difference. In the second half, we came back and we competed. But against a good team and a great player, we just didn't play well enough to win.
pick small stop
Pick your poison. Try to stop K.G. or me . . . They wanted to play a small lineup, and we made them pay.
bit catalyst good great hopefully job offensive playing super throw
I think he's doing a good job for us overall. Hopefully he can keep that up. And Michael's been playing super off the bench. He's playing great defense, getting a lot of offensive boards, and he's been a catalyst a little bit on the offensive end because we can throw it down to him in the post.
open philosophy
My philosophy is any open look is an open look.
best hold player stuff win
When you hold their best player to 8-for-24, you should win the game, but stuff is not going our way right now.
ball basket best gets hot ride
Troy can put the ball in the basket with the best of them. When he gets hot and gets going, you want to ride his hot streak,
door found fourth gave knocked win
We gave up 111 points, that's not good. They knocked on our door the whole fourth quarter, but we found a way to win the game.
