basketball came catch hard instead lead playing relief starters statement
The starters came out playing hard and made a statement early. For us, having a lead instead of being on the other end where we had to play catch up was a relief for us.
again bad ball fell hard shoot
I'm a little sore. It kind of went bad when I fell on the floor. It just wasn't the same. Then I fell again and it stiffened up on me. I just couldn't get it loose. It was hard to shoot the ball like I wanted to shoot it.
asked biggest dedicating fun games guys hard last playing themselves
It's always fun when you're winning, but the biggest thing that makes it fun is guys are just going out there and playing hard and doing what's asked of us. It's just the effort. Guys are dedicating themselves to these last 20-plus games and we're getting results.

It's important to us to find time to rest. There's not much practice time and it's go, go, go. We want to push hard early.

They're a young team, ... They play really hard and keep coming. We just wanted to continue to play as hard and just a little longer. We were fortunate to get what we wanted at the end, which was a basket and a win.
afternoon dress hardest morning nap stiff took woke work
This morning it was all right. I woke up stiff. I did some work and it made me feel better. Took a nap and it was a little stiff. It was more stiff when I woke up this afternoon than this morning. I said, 'Hey, just let it go.' That was the hardest thing for me, to not dress up and play.
blew free harder hate hurt might miss missing opportunity throw tie worry
I play to win. I had the opportunity at the end. I blew it. I blew the opportunity. I hate that I had to miss those for us to end our streak. It's going to make me want to come out and play harder tomorrow. Missing that free throw hurt the most. If I made that, it would have been a tie game, and I might not have had to worry about that jumper.

In our mind we felt they were going to play even harder because they were undermanned. But the effort in the first half was not what we wanted.

All of these people are struggling, but it's a little harder when you have three kids and they're young. If you get one athlete, one artist, to help out one family, it's good.

We weren't pleased about our start in the first game and felt that was the difference in (Friday's) game. Tonight it was about energy and effort, and that's what we showed right from the tip.
