Sometimes we have pressure in the last five minutes and today that happened again. I think everybody is thinking about that. Everybody has to play relaxed and make free throws and hit the open shots. We are professionals.
Shoot 25 balls in one minute? It's impossible for me. It's not my game. I know that.
We play great for a half, with a lot of energy, [and] we play calm in the offense. In the second half, we lost energy on defense, we lost concentration on the game. These things happen a lot this year. We should be more keen on getting to the playoffs.
I played a good game, but I'm happy because the team won. That's the most important. I played good last game, but the team lost. For me, the most important thing is the playoffs.
We need to play like this every night. We lost, but we played hard and aggressive. If we play like this every night, we'll win a lot of games.
We played hard all night. We played with intensity and we played a great four quarters. We kept working and we won a huge game for us.
(The Americans) need to learn to play together. When we beat USA, it always was because they had some problem on the team, they don't want to play, or somebody's angry with the coach because they played 5 minutes.
I think everybody was thinking about that - we've lost a lot of games at the end of the games. I think sometimes we have pressure in the last five minutes, and today it happened, too. But we need to work with that because we always have pressure.
I played a good game, but I'm so happy because the team won. The last time I played well and we lost. For me the most important thing is to make the playoffs.
