Sometimes when I have a 1-on-1 advantage and teams don't do a good job of either doubling or clogging the paint, that works to my advantage.

I didn't make plays. They did a good job of rotating and doubling and mixing it up and we just didn't make plays. They shot the ball very well tonight.

They executed well, they made a bunch of tough shots. When you play a team like that, you look at them, and you can learn a lot.

That's when my thoughts started to change, and I continued to talk to Bryan, and we developed our relationship we have now. He said 'I think I have a good reputation and I don't want to change that.' He doesn't want to ruin his name by not making this franchise better.

I'll be honest with you, it feels really good to come back from a tough situation, a sluggish first half and still capitalize down the stretch. We have been losing a lot of fights down the stretch.

I haven't won on my birthday since college, so it's good to play hard and get a win by double figures.
