Whew, that was close. We missed a lot of great shots and a lot of rebounds. We had to do something. And that dunk I had was an energizing thing. When the crowd went crazy, my teammates went crazy.
We didn't come out here tonight like a football team on the upswing. We should be executing better on offense. I'm disappointed in the way we played but I am proud of these guys for fighting through adversity and coming back to get the win.
We just had to match his intensity and bring a little more than he had. As much as we had to chase him off screens, he had to run off them, so he was getting tired. Our big men did a good job bumping him when he was trying to curl off them, and it was just a team effort.
This game is very important, not just for me, but for the team because they beat us twice. Tomorrow is going to be a fight.
He's a jumping jack. He jumps and gets rebounds and has those game-changing dunks. He gets himself and the team going with that momentum.
