I just tried not to let what happened in Atlanta snowball, I tried to come out really hard, set the tone early, and the guys got the win. I can't get satisfied, I have to keep going. Thing about the NBA is I can have 24 points now, but what am I going to do the next game?

I tried to come out hard, set the tone early and the guys got the win. We played all four quarters and we won every quarter except the third, which we tied.

It was hard thinking about what had happened, as much as I tried not to. I went back to the hotel and I couldn't stop thinking about it because I was the next ranked athlete behind Grant (Hackett) and just to think 'What if I get second? What's going to happen? And that type of thing'.

I didn't give myself any time to let it set in. I didn't go through any depression, and it's not something I dwell on. It definitely helped to have goals.

I tried not to push off too hard on it.

We try not to tip our hand as to what it's gonna be. Sometimes you want to bait 'em, let them think it it's gonna be one thing, then give them something else.
