They took a major step in the maturation process tonight. We didn't defend anyone in the first half. That worries me the most. We're scoring, but I'm worried where we're going to get defense. I'm proud of the way they came back.

I think they're coming together at times. We still don't seem to have enough energy for two 20-minute halves.

Great second half. If you look at the details and you see they only got three field goals in the second half and we held them to 11 percent shooting, you have to win games. I told them they'd better play defense and they did. We played much harder and contested every shot.
