When things break down, we've been going our different ways, and it only takes two or three minutes like that to ruin a game.

That's going to be a feeling that's going to stick with us.

I was happy. I wasn't going to say anything about that. I looked around and said, 'Whoa! It's my lucky night.

I told coach to put him back in. One foot, no foot, zero foot. Doesn't matter.

All of us moved the ball pretty well. Anybody could have gotten the points tonight. It was just in our hands and the right place at the right time.

We stayed together and had contributions from everybody. That's what we need on the road, especially against a team that was coming in that hot.

We knew it wasn't going to be a walk in the park or that we'd be able to eat popcorn and stuff. But we played fairly well, stayed within our offense most of the time, and we were 0-fer on the road, so this was huge.

We just came off two losses so there wasn't much to talk about.

I looked at the score, and said I'd rather win than jack up a bunch of shots. We've got some good players. It ain't just me on this team.
