It was fun, like being back in high school.

I think we just wanted to come out and compete. Detroit is a very good basketball team. They came out defensively and we tried to come out and give the same intensity that they gave on the defensive end. They're just a great basketball team. We played against a great team tonight. They were just better than us tonight.

We knew that wasn't our team in the first half. We've been known for going out and competing and that was something that we weren't doing in the first half.

You're going to get that extra energy boost playing against a team that traded you. But I'm just happy we got a win. We had to stop that 13-game losing streak.

You're going to get that extra energy boost playing against the team that traded you. I was anxious to get out and play.

That was the most important thing we needed was a rebound. We had struggled all game. They killed us on the glass. We got a rebound that we needed.

We got two games in a row but we're still hungry. I was telling the guys that we were on a 13-game losing streak, so why can't we go on a 10-game winning streak. We've got a lot of guys that are really anxious to win, and we'll see how many we can put together.

We just came out slow and couldn't dig ourselves out of that hole and get over the hump that we needed to.

We came out ready to play. Melvin came in and established an inside presence for us. Once they went down and trapped him, it opened up the perimeter for our shooters.
