Fred Jones Win Quotations

There was no fatigue factor. At that point of the game, with one stop to win the game, you're not worried about being tired. You're trying to do your best to get a stop. We just didn't get it.

We are not making excuses. We have guys on this team that can play basketball. All of us have to step up when people are out and win games. There is no excuse. We would love to have had them, but they couldn't go and we all had to step up.

What you saw was the difference between a veteran team and a young one like ours. The veteran teams do the right things down the stretch to win games. They make the right decisions. We're young and we didn't do the things it takes to win.

Each win is always important. Regardless of who is in the lineup or who we are facing, we are expected to come out and compete and play hard. Charlotte handed it to us earlier this year, so we knew they were going to come to play. Everybody gets paid in this league.
