Now I have my pep in my step. I have that swagger. I feel like myself again. I'm just playing hard. I'm playing with a lot more intensity. I'm positive about everything. It's almost like a 180 from where I was when I was struggling.

Gilbert told me going into the second half, 'You can't do anything if you don't let it ride,'? He shouldn't have to tell me that.

It's hard, but everybody goes through it with the exception of Detroit, who hasn't had any injuries. You've just got to find a way to win with the situation. It's been hard because of late we had played well together. We finally got some great chemistry.

That helped me get into a rhythm.

I knew I had to do something but I got into a rhythm.

I don't see myself as a guy coming off the bench. But we won tonight, so even though I was coming off the bench, I'm happy.
