“I didn't think it was that big of a distraction at all. He said he was frustrated and admitted to making a mistake. And I give him a lot of credit for that because there's a lot of guys in sports today who get into confrontations with either coaches or management and aren't big enough to admit when they make a mistake.”
“It's tough when you give yourself that big of a hole to come back from. Anytime a team gets a big lead early, it can go two ways. It becomes even more of a blowout or it came down to the wire. It's just a matter of sticking with it.”
“I think we had good spacing on the floor, and I was able to get some open looks. In the fourth quarter, they tightened up defensively on me. In overtime, I had some good looks.”
“We can't get satisfied. We have to keep playing our game, which means spacing and teamwork and things like that. I like how we're playing now, though.”
“I think the key to the win streak is people going through a lot of drama like we were and then just finally saying, 'Let's just push that all aside. Sometimes a little adversity brings people closer together and maybe that's the case here.”
“It's a bad loss, especially since we've been playing well. We need to be consistent and we thought we were building toward that. It's OK if you lose a hard-fought game to team that makes shots, but not when there's a lack of focus on our part. They exploited us, played harder and deserved to win.”
