It was ugly, but we'll take it. I didn't think we played very well tonight, and we were terrible at the free-throw line in the final quarter, which is just so uncharacteristic of this group.

Everything that happened in the second half is fixable, but it was downright ugly. Even though it's a 'W', I'm a little bitter about the way we played.

The first period was pretty ugly, we'd been off for almost three weeks - I'm not using that as an excuse, but we were flat-footed. But as the game went on we got stronger and stronger ... I think rolling four lines helps wear down other teams and our guys had the jump to finally get going in the third period.
