This felt like one of his best games that I've seen him play. He was patient and smart. He got people involved. When we needed points, when they would make a run, he would get the shots. I'm real happy with him.
Jeter wants the ball at the end of the game. Great players want the ball at the end of the game, and they make plays.
It's a huge loss when you lose 30 points per game like that. We have to make some adjustments to our style.
We wanted to take care of the ball, be patient in the offensive set. We knew they were going to come at us and trap Amir. Amir did a great job getting the ball to the open guy. We made shots. We were attacking their pressure.
We had to be patient on offense to spread out their zone and find the gaps, but we didn't do that. I don't know what the rebound total was, but they controlled the boards and that was the difference in the game.
I'm satisfied. It's a state win. We've got to move on. We've got to survive. We have to know these things can't happen anymore. We have to get better in all areas, because from this point on, it gets tougher and tougher.
The big guy came through again. I wanted to get him a break, but I just had to have him in there all the time.
They were beating us on the boards in the first half. That's something we've been working on.
To go anywhere in the playoffs, you've got to win the fourth quarter. Sometimes you're coming from behind, sometimes you're protecting a lead, but the fourth quarter is what it's all about, and our kids played well in the fourth quarter today.
We didn't play real physical on defense. I didn't feel like we played hard.
