We had a great first half and a super second quarter. Then we just kind of held on. It is expected in the middle of the season to have our ups and downs.

We had a great first half and a super second quarter, and then we just held on.

I think it's safe to say the first quarter made the difference. It was a phenomenal first quarter. It was unbelievable.

That was the difference. We shot well enough in the first half (51.2 percent) to be up by more than three.

That started in the first quarter, but it actually goes back to the Seattle game. I don't know if we think we can slug it out with people offensively or what, but we just can't do that. We have to get back to some hard-nosed basketball and we're going to do that.

We were dead and lifeless. It looked like Easter Sunday. We just didn't quite have it in the first half. In the second half, I thought we played hard. We just didn't have enough on the floor.
