It's a whole different atmosphere at playoff time. The defense picks up, and every possession counts. You have to play with a purpose.

One of our main keys tonight was that if we limited their second shots, we would have a chance. In the first half, I thought we did a great job of that. ... We wish at times that we were 6-(foot)-4, 6-5, but you've got to play with what you're dealt.
