Humility is what makes teams great. I've preached it for a long period of time.
I've never beaten a team that played that well. This is the gutsiest, most phenomenally tough group that I've ever been around.
We hang in there with some pretty good basketball teams. (But) there is no substitute for experience. Young teams don't win against good teams.
We just wanted to lock down defensively. We made great defensive plays down the stretch. Inexperienced teams find a way to lose, tonight we found a way to win.
When it comes to team dynamics - on a basketball court or in a corporate setting - maintaining a positive atmosphere is crucial.
They do such a good job of penetrating. We got beat constantly off the dribble. It was a matter of a team much more athletic than us. Our style is a very athletic style being played by not very athletic people.
