We had to have this game. Lose [on Tuesday], and that D-C game becomes meaningless. So this win was big.

Philadelphia found a way to win the game when (Iverson) went out, and we found a way to lose it.

Before you can win a game, you have to not lose it.

I think we focused on this game more than Tuesday (a narrow 70-68 win over Avinger). We were almost out of the playoffs.

It was just a great baseball game. Win or lose, obviously you don't want to lose, but you could understand in a game like this. It's very rare we score one run in a baseball game, and it's very rare that they get shut out.

The only way I could redeem myself was, when I got to the line, I had to knock down those two free throws.
