The guys are determined to put the first half behind them and are playing up to their capabilities in the second half.

It entered into our guys minds who we were playing.

We haven't been playing well but we played a good first half.

We've been playing from behind the last couple of games and playing with such a frenzy trying to catch up. To get a lead really settled us down some. We only had three turnovers in the first half. We were efficient and Joe shot the ball well.

He's like a piece of gristle. He's got a great squirt in the hole. Playing behind 6-7 guys, he's hard to find back there.

We just got out of sync in the first half. My guys just weren't shooting the ball and it wasn't just their defense. We were taking too many quick shots and too many 3's.
