But there was this energy around us. We sold out fast, and we thought, 'We can actually do this.

This energy is going to carry us all the way, ... Whoever would have thought we'd be met by this kind of crowd in the middle of the night?

A change always gives you an extra injection of energy and this is our first move after working seven years for Peugeot. It was a bit sad to leave the team where we have had everything in our career. We have a load of nostalgic memories from the past years. Now we face the pleasant challenge of learning the way our new team is working and to get to know all the people involved.

I thought in the second half we came out with a lot more energy. Especially our defensive energy really stepped up. And that always brings our offense.

I thought their whole team played well. They played with a lot of energy and they were probably looking for a little payback. They had some guys hitting 3s that ordinarily shoot a very, very low percentage.

Honestly, I just thought we ran out of gas. We didn't look like we had any energy in the second half. That's very disappointing. In the second half we just tanked it. You have to give (the Hawks) a lot of credit because they just took it at us.
