Vince Carter Basket Quotations

I was just trying to get to the basket and have the referees make the call,

I was just tying to put the ball in the basket. I just wanted to be patient and take what I could get. Just wanted to go to the basket and avoid him, because he'd already took two charges on me, so I was concentrating on trying to do both things.

I was just trying to take what the defense gave me and mix it up a little bit. If (the defender) was playing up on me, just trying to make him pay and go to the basket and get to the line.

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.

I wasn't trying to draw any fouls. When you get in a situation like that, you've got to put the ball in the basket. It was an opportunity where the basket was needed and it stretched the lead out. I just wanted to be patient and take what I could get.

They're a young team, ... They play really hard and keep coming. We just wanted to continue to play as hard and just a little longer. We were fortunate to get what we wanted at the end, which was a basket and a win.

A big basket was needed. If we don't make it, it would give them the opportunity to tie or cut it to one. I just wanted to be patient and take what I could get.
