Tonight was a game where we were locked in defensively and aggressively dictated what kind of shots they were going to get. I thought offensively we were able to do what we wanted.

We locked down defensively to get the lead. We got to do what we wanted to do offensively. We didn't turn the ball over. We forced turnovers early and turnovers late. We took care of the basketball and didn't give them chances to score out of our offense.

After the second half started, we locked down and were a lot better defensively. Even though we got down, we didn't lose our aggressiveness. But we came down and ... scored three times on them. We just kept controlling it.

As well as he's playing, all five guys have to be locked into him. Nobody's going to take him one-on-one and prevent him from getting wherever he wants. He's too quick and too good. All five guys have to be in a position to help.

If you give Rip (Hamilton) shots and he's in rhythm, he'll often make those shots.

Chauncey looked a lot livelier. A lot of guys looked a lot more livelier tonight.
