We can't keep taking one step forward and one step back. It's important that we build on what we did (Thursday).

We had some good looks, but we probably needed to go inside more.

I thought we shot it well and finished and made good plays.

They're starting to grow up and take ownership.

We need to keep moving in that direction. This team's starting to play with more urgency, and they're starting to take better care of the ball.

That was a big momentum changer. We didn't get a body on him.

I think it's a very balanced league, one that's up for grabs.

They turned it up at the start of the second half and we didn't handle it well. We needed to be a little tougher.

He's shooting the ball really well for them.
