I think that was real big. It was something that we stressed before the game ... it was something that we really focused on.

Over the last couple of games it's been real physical. We have games back really quickly and sometimes my body doesn't have time to recover all the way. Sometimes you have to play with little bumps and bruises.

I took it as an insult. I mean, they come in and they tell us that. Some people didn't have us in the top 60. I mean, that's something. I kind of liked it, having our backs up against the wall, people telling us something we can't do, and we go out there and prove them wrong.

It was really important. The crowd really got into it and they had a big effect. There were a couple of times there where I couldn't hear the whistle.

They brought a lot of people at me and it was hard to find space to move.

It was partly my fault. My movement wasn't as it should have been.

When we got the lead, maybe we relaxed with it a little bit. They hit some shots, and we missed some. They made a run and just kept coming at us.

What helped us get the road win is we kept our poise. There were definitely some times where we made some questionable plays, but I think we kept our head and kept playing hard, and that's what gave us the win.
