This was huge. If we lose this game, we're probably toast. We can't get the Charlotte game back, so we needed this one.

We were probably going to lose that game, but the technical ... it just solidified it.

I thought we were aggressive across the board defensively, and you could just see it grow. As the game went along, you could see the confidence grow. It showed in the fourth quarter.

I played in Joe Louis in a playoff game. I played there when the roof caved in for half a season. The facility is great for basketball because it goes straight up, so you feel like the fans are on top of you.

Our advantage is having a game under our belt. I think that is huge.

Everybody knows that each game is huge, ... Our playoffs start now. They probably started a week ago, so we have to make the best of each day.
