attack basket effective goal hitting jump shots
Our goal is to attack the basket and put the onus on the referees to make the calls. We weren't hitting our jump shots outside, so we had to be effective some other way.
attitude bring building early focus goal regardless teams throw
Our goal and our focus is to bring the same attitude regardless (of the opponent). We just try to take teams out early and throw them out of our building by any means.
aspects committing covers saying trusting win
Our willingness to win. I think, by saying that, it covers all aspects of the game: our willingness to win for 48 minutes, being aggressive, trusting each other. All that. Just committing to the team.
bring great guy half mainly second
Our bench, mainly Cliff, was outstanding. Something in the second half ignited them. It was great to see because you were able to bring in another guy and still keep going.
correct effort happy level regardless road whether
Regardless of whether (Jefferson) was back or not, we just weren't happy with our effort (on the road trip). That's what we wanted to correct - we wanted the effort level to be there.

I think we make a commitment to defend them.

I think we did a good job of containing him, but he stepped up. He didn't score a lot of points, but he made shots and got rebounds that were big for them.
focus ourselves
I think we've established ourselves at home. But we've still got to keep that focus every night.
points top
I think turnovers were key, on top of them getting points off our turnovers. That was the big thing.

Just be yourself and do what you can do, ... Everybody is different. Everybody has different styles. Just do it the best way you know how.

It doesn't do anything. It makes me laugh. OK. Fine. Whatever. Moving on.

It definitely helps, being on the streak we're on, and the way we're playing. You need to play a perfect game to beat these guys.
hurt wrong
Just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hurt.

Just his presence out there made a difference. He played well for someone who hadn't run in seven days.
