They're a very good team, so that was a real quality win for us. It was a very close game and very well played on both teams' part.

I don't think anyone picked us to finish second. We lost a few games by only one or two points and could have easily had 18-19 wins.

We were down and we rallied, but we made critical mistakes down the stretch.

We had to make adjustments on offense and defense at halftime. Those kids from Johnson are good. They can flat shoot the lights out. We had to go to a kind of half-man, half-zone 'D' to try and stop them.

We had 10 kids score, so we had pretty balanced scoring. We shot the ball well and did a good job of finding the open man.

We did not play well in the first half, turning the ball over 16 times. So then we went deep into our bench and the bench got us a 10-point lead from their energy. And I think that's what helped us down the stretch that our guys had fresh legs.
