He made some good shots. It's just part of the game. I had some battles that I won and he had some battles he won. But tonight we lost as a team, so that is the only thing that counts.

I'm not like the savior. I can bring hustle, clutch shots and intensity to the game. My job is to make this team better. We have the opportunity to do something special this year, and I'm just trying to take advantage of it.

They both have a knack for making tough shots, and it kind of separates them from all the other players. They?re really quick, strong and can jump. So it separates them from all the other players that?s trying to get to where they are.

They won more battles that we did. They were hungry and they played a good game.

We won the last three quarters, we just couldn't finish the job.

We stayed mentally tough the whole game. That was the best feeling.
