This defendant planned this execution of his father and carried it out very efficiently.

The guys really executed our defensive game plan. Their execution combined with their intensity. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

He beat his father with a baseball bat while he was sleeping. He cut his throat and then went to great lengths to hide his father's body.

This was a particularly brutal crime and the brutality was only exceeded by the premeditation.

The challenge is on all of us, to balance between rest, rhythm, timing, focus, energy, execution. It's a delicate balancing act.

The difference tonight was intensity and execution -- things we lacked all year.
