We can't leave our guards out to hang. Last time, we depended on them too much to guard them.

We definitely tried to guard them one on one and we weren't helping each other out as much as we need to. They're a very good offensive team and we don't want to play 'score-more' basketball, we want to win with our defense.

We're just as good as they are. They should be looking at us and thinking they need to beat us in order to be a championship team.

When I get out of the paint, it opens things up for my teammates. If they collapse on me and we hit other people, we get really great shots.

I think we've gained a lot in experience and by getting in the gym and working out the kinks. The important thing is that we need to start having fun and play as a team.

We weren't pushing as hard as they were. We didn't realize how hard we had to play on defense.

Definitely being on your home court is an advantage for us, but we'll still need to get our turnovers down if we want to win. And hopefully, this week, we won't need to work harder to overcome them.

We're very healthy, a lot healthier now than we were at the beginning of the season. None of us are playing 30 or 40 minutes a game.

We did a good job of keeping our composure through all of that and not reacting to them when they would swing or hit. We just weren't reacting to them.
