Tuesday was one of those nights where the level of play at the defensive end of the court transferred to execution and success on the offensive end.

We've got to play the game of our lives, really, to win.

You can always count on the crowd being loud, Lake Roosevelt playing very hard and a classic 'barn' setting that is great for basketball.

We wanted to sustain a consistent effort on both ends of the court and we did that.

That shows you what kind of team we can be if we come out and play hard from the get-go. I think we shot 29 percent, we had a lot of turnovers but we still had a chance to win the game at the end. That shows what we can be if we just put a solid game together.

We just had to keep our composure and play as a team and we couldn't go wrong. We were down 10, came back and proved that we're the champions.
