I told my crew, 'I'm not letting that good man [Barker] go by himself.' And that's the way it came down. There was a tremendous sense of duty.

I felt like we did not play the way we are capable of today. We made a lot of mistakes, especially with our marks. We made countless errors defending and that really put us behind the eight ball.

The sky was filled with helicopters, and the airwaves were full of guys going down all over the place.

Our lack of execution on offense created very quick transitions.

Their breakouts happened so fast we didn't have a chance to recover. I think we will play better than what we showed today. I think our play can only improve from here.

At the end of the day we're going to ask you to return Marcus to the Texas Youth Commission to continue his treatment program with some other time or some other place review if necessary.

Barker was going, hell or high water.

Defense is one thing you can always count on. You can't always control whether you'll have a hot shooting night, but you can always play strong defense and tonight was a good example.
