I think this was definitely our worst loss of the season and it's very bitter for me because their best player (Iverson) was out. I thought we were sloppy offensively the whole game and we weren't focused defensively. I thought from top to bottom it was from every individual, our worst game of the year.

I thought we mentally succumbed to fatigue in the beginning of the game because we played last night and that's what I told the team. We were the more aggressive team in the second half and got ourselves back in the game. We just didn't have enough to pull it off.

That whole play upset me. When you're three-on-none and don't score, that's inexcusable.

He looked like like he was still favoring it a little bit this morning when he was out on the floor. We just felt it would be much better for him if he waited until Wednesday's game and he was able to get a practice or two under his belt, rather than rush him right back into a game.

We had our chances. That's what it comes down to in tight games. Who is going to make the shots, make the plays at the end of the game.

We couldn't make any shots and we didn't play very good defense in the first half, which got us in a hole. I give them credit - they're a heck of an offensive team. They're a tough team to guard. We shoot 38 percent and the other team shoots 53 percent, it makes it tough.

Pierce had a phenomenal game. But other than that, we did a real good job defensively.

I think this was definitely our worst loss of the season. It's very bitter to me simply for one reason that we couldn't come into the game focused because the other team had their best player out.

Certainly this was a much needed win, especially with both of us coming off four-game losing streaks.
