We can win any game anywhere in this league, ... That's not being pompous or whatever else, we feel that we can. We're not going to win them all, but we feel that we can.

I feel we have the wherewithal to go into any stadium and get a result. We not only have to play well, but we have to battle well.

We needed to be more accurate, more precise, and sometimes more determined because we passed on some shots. At halftime, we talked about at least three or four shots that were there where we passed the ball - passed the responsibility - or tried to set up the perfect shot.

No one else has this specific kind of (artificial) turf. You have to up your level of concentration, because you are not going to get used to it in 90 minutes. We concentrated and strung some passes together and did well with it.

As far we're concerned, this is a two-game series and we're only at halftime. We've played at their place, and now they have to play at ours.

The only fly in the ointment was that goal in the first half in one of their infrequent trips (in the Wizards' defensive end). There were a couple of decisions we needed to make better. Then we got a little apprehensive after that. We were teetering a little bit. Two-zero leads in the recent past haven't been good to us.
