But we're ahead 2-0. That's what it's about.

That was a game situation. He's supposed to be on the court, but I had a hard time taking anybody off the court at that time, because we were down and then we went ahead by eight. As a coach, you're going to ride that lineup as long as you can.

It's in our hands. I'm not looking at numbers. I'm not looking at who they're playing. It's in our hands. And so we have to win games. They might win out. So we have to just stay one step ahead of the posse.

They were a step ahead of us because of their effort and their energy and their absolute desperation to make the playoffs. When you get a team with that frame of mind, they are going to be a step ahead of you.
