Sammy, he's a great leader on our team. Even without him we needed someone to step up.

They were trying to get Sammy tired so he wouldn't be as effective offensively, so we had to lock in and help.

Coach is a real good guy and knows exactly what he's doing. I'm comfortable with the rules. What he says, goes.

We knew he could knock down shots. We didn't expect him to shoot 6-for-7.

I told our players that someone needed to step up and make up the difference defensively, and our team pulled together and took up the slack.

I feel like it's my job to step up my game to whatever level is needed for the team to be successful while guys are out. I don't know if I'm better; just different.
