It just sat up there for a minute, but then it fell off.

I knew once we got that first one we would be okay. That first one is the tough one and our defense was keeping us in it.

We were playing passive. We were not attacking the basket at all. And we talked about playing good man-to-man defense.

My first love was acting. I went to Sidney Poitier films as a kid. I sat in the theater and dreamed of being an actor.

I was a chunky little kid, and when they sat me in that wagon, it tipped backward and I banged my head on the (concrete) floor. I was howling pretty good, but Dad went outside and cried his eyes out.

I think anyone who sat through this game for three-and-a-half hours figured it would end in that kind of way. To Matt?s credit, he hit the ball hard. I would have preferred it on the ground, but if you keep it down things like that happen sometimes.
