This is a long time coming. We have been working hard, both on and off the court all year. This team deserves it.

He's a great player. He's tough to play against, he's 6-9 and I'm 6-2 so I just tried to go hard to the basket and get fouled.

This was the toughest game I've every played in my life. Playing against their big guy, he's just so physically strong. I mean, he's just a great player. I just played my heart out, stayed in front of him the whole game. He's strong, but I played my best.
