bit free game help hit playoff sealed team thinking throw whatever win wish
It's the most important game to me for our playoff race. I wasn't even thinking about being hurt. I'm just doing whatever I can to help this team win games. I wish I could've done a little bit more. I wish I could've hit a free throw at the end that would've sealed it.

It's pretty hard to be in that playoff race now, but we'll play the role that we've always been playing: the spoilers. People that mess up other people's season and we're going to beat teams we're not supposed to beat.

I think it's a sense of urgency. When we have our backs to the wall and we need to win a game, I think we really focus in.

four giving horrible last maybe mentally playing worn
Maybe we're giving up too easy. I don't know what it is. I'm mentally worn down, (and) I'm playing on one knee. I just can't move, but I'm still on the court. I had a horrible game. I haven't showed up the last four games.
disrespect everybody finds game gets guards guy lane point took type waiting
No disrespect to the point guards who were here in the past, but Baron's the type of point guard that makes everybody better. He gets in the lane and just finds guys. I been waiting for a guy like him to come and he took my game to another level.
