Our TEAM defense was the difference in this game. I thought we were very aggressive defensively and rebounded very well, too.

It was an okay game for us for the first game back after Christmas break.

It was great having Stephen with us. It has been a long haul for him and I know he is really hopeful of contributing. We'll just have to see how he progresses.

It was just a matter of doing a better job. We told ourselves, let's play clean on defense.

We played much better defense against them in the first half and we kept them from making runs and forcing turnovers to give them easy baskets.

They went a little cold from the floor. And our defense combined with good foul shooting was enough to put it over for us.
