Basically we held the ball to shorten up the game since we were in foul trouble.
We played kind of lackadaisical and we were not mentally in the game like we should have been. We shot the ball real well. But they pressed us and that gave us some trouble.
We never win any games like that -- on a last-second shot. We have other teams miss shots at the end, but never when we make one. Since I've been here we've never hit the last shot.
I see a game in the 60s and a game similar to last year, and that's not our style. The thing is they are going to shoot better, they are going to be excited to play at home and it's the playoffs.
We did not finish the game very good and we're not making our free throws. Even though we are getting these wins, we're not making free throws and that could be trouble.
We looked tired and like we ran out of gas.
These guys are playing really good right now. We gave up 16 points in the first quarter, but we were able to get them back in the 50s, so the defense played well. We're playing as a team and just playing good together right now.
It's definitely tough (to beat a team twice), especially when we won. I'm trying to get the guys over being too complacent. We know they are going to shoot better at home and that's their game. They didn't play very well the last time, so I know they're going to come out better.
It was almost identical to the way we played them at home -- we led the whole game and they came back and won. It was a packed house there. ... It was like a playoff-type atmosphere to play in.
