Al Horford Team Quotations

Maybe we don't look like we're tough guys, but the bottom line is we get the job done. I know, Villanova was tough. They were city kids. But we're going to play our game no matter who the other team has.

We really understand that in order to win, we have to play together and play team ball. I think everybody's OK with that.

They're the type of team where you have to make the extra pass. We took good shots.

It's all about confidence, and confidence comes from trusting your teammates. What's great about our team is we never know who's going to step up.

It's all about team chemistry. We're doing it as a group.

It's always exciting when you're going against a high-profile team at home. We used to do that. This year we didn't do it.

That's something that our team can't have. We've just got to take care of the ball (tonight). I think it was just trying to make plays that weren't there, maybe forcing things a little bit.

Against a team like this, you're going to get 10 or 15 blocks the way we play, but we know we're not going to do that against an SEC team, so it's just something that happens, I guess.

It's real important. It helps everybody on this team understand their roles and knowing to do what they do best.

(The guards) make the other team take tough shots, make it hard on the 3-point line. They have just done a great job guarding (against 3-pointers).
