Our full-court pressure defense was the key. And we were much more physical tonight than we have been in a while.

Patrick's steadily improved all year. He keeps getting better. He was a force inside.

That was the first time all year I've had to get in my kids' faces about effort. To their credit, they responded. But we needed three quarters of great basketball after that, and we didn't get it.

I thanked them for having the courage to play this game. I hope the series continues.

That gym 's going to be hopping. It's going to be an exciting game.

I didn't see it, but I could hear the crowd. And they loved it.

Rich teaches his kids to play physical just like I teach my kids. Tonight they did it for four quarters and we did it for three.

Everybody is starting to hit their groove.

We mixed up our defenses a little better and I substituted a little earlier, which helped our legs. I thought we had better flow offensively, too.
