We took it one game at a time, one possession at a time, one minute at a time. I compare it to chopping down a tree. You work at it and work at it and, eventually, it falls.

We wanted to impose our will on them early. We thought the first five minutes of the game were the most important. We had good ball movement, we shared the ball and we got a lot of good looks.

We?re glad they?re there because they really help us. They throw fuel in the fire for us.

Never in my wildest imagination would I have figured this, but we played every game to this intensity level.

Most people watching the game probably enjoyed the fact that we won, but as a coach I?m going to be very critical. I?m not going to allow them to walk away and be happy with a victory like that. It?s about how they play the game. Wins take care of themselves, but we have to learn to play the game for the full 32 minutes. We can?t get caught up in one-on-one basketball.

We are ready for the next game, the next quarter against Career (on Wednesday). That?s all we can control.

We wanted to impose our will in the first five minutes. There was a special feeling in the air. I'm just so proud of these guys.

We expected them to make some runs in this game. It had all the aura of a championship fight tonight. But we still have another game to go.

We had a lot of good looks in transition. We have a lot of outstanding shooters. We always talk about ball movement and sharing the ball.
