I feel like it's my job to step up my game to whatever level is needed for the team to be successful while guys are out. I don't know if I'm better; just different.
This was a team win tonight. We needed it. I was just trying to get to the rim and I did.
What is needed changes from night to night. It depends on who is healthy or how different guys are playing. If you put guys in a position where they know they will get their opportunities, then guys get the job done.
I was just trying to do whatever I needed to help us win. That was the objective. Today we needed extra offense and at times, I provided that. Just not enough to get a win.
Coach Popovich is a very intelligent coach. He must have felt that his team needed to get some emotion while playing the game.
