I like the way our team came out in the second half with a little sense of urgency and got back into the game quickly. He (Redd) kind of struggled with some of his shots in the first half. He's a good scorer and a good shooter. He had the confidence to keep going.

Guys weren't happy about it. So I think it's definitely a sense of urgency to get our second half of the year started on a good note and win our own tournament.

Both team wanted to get the fifth seed. I told the team we're disappointed now and we should be disappointed. But we can't dwell on this and let the disappointment of this loss carry over into the playoffs.

Beating Dallas, as good a team as they are, is nice,

Those two guys that they added, Earl Watson and Chris Wilcox , have made a big difference. I sense they're playing with a lot of freedom.

This is a resilient team. We got down, but we got off to a great start (in the second half) and we knew what we wanted to do against these guys, so it was a matter of us executing it. Once we slowed it down a little bit we were able to manage the game. We took control.
