The most important thing for us was to get the win. We have had a lot of guys step up lately and our success depends more on teamwork than what one player does.

We gave them way too many second chances and we were careless with the ball. That speaks volumes.

Eric did a lot of good things, but you have to credit his teammates for finding him underneath the basket. I thought we played good team basketball from start to finish for the third straight game.

Our team defense was very solid tonight and we caused a lot of interference in the paint. We played especially well in the second half, picking up a lot of loose balls and dominating the glass.

There's no easy way to do it, ... Frankly, it's worked out the best for us because that way I get to see the kids every night when I come home for dinner.

These teams are out of it in May and they're way outdrawing us, ... And even in September we're coming down to the wire, leading the wild card with about three weeks left and we're playing in front of 17,000 against the Braves on a weekend. That's where it becomes very frustrating.
