Terry Stotts Teams Quotations

It's a pivotal game. Both teams realize it. The tie-breaker is at stake. If we win, it goes to the second tie-breaker, which is conference record, and right now we have an advantage with that. All the players, all the coaches know it's a pivotal game.

Both teams wanted to get the fifth seed. They may have had a little more in the tank but I was proud of the way our team competed. We were down and to come back in the fourth quarter we just couldn't keep them off the free-throw line. Washington played well and deserved to win.

Yeah, that's about how I saw it. Them and San Antonio are probably the two most physical teams in the league, yet both of them go to the foul line more than anyone else.

Our defense got us over the hump. It was one of those games. Boston did a nice job defensively and both teams struggled to score. We stayed with our defense and fought through.

Everybody seems to want to take away from accomplishments. The fact all five teams made it is a testament to each of those teams. Cleveland and us weren't in the playoffs last year, and the fact we jumped into the playoffs shows you even more about the division.

I'm proud of our streak of keeping teams under 94. Really everyone on the floor contributed defensively.
