We just wanted to tighten them up. They looked too comfortable in the first half. We just wanted to put a little more pressure on them and challenge them a bit.

In the second half they looked to stop everybody else, and I got going. I picked up the momentum and was able to break the game open.

They basically ran the ball down our throats in the first half, so we had to get adjusted to the tempo. In the second half, we were able to get a bead on them a little bit better.

We looked bad in the first half. We were out of sync.

I'm more than comfortable just sitting back and scoring 21, 22 points or whatever and getting 10, 11 assists whatever the case might be. More than comfortable with that. It's just a matter of the pieces that you have around you and what you can do to elevate everybody else.

I've played with IVs before, during and after games. I've played with a broken hand, a sprained ankle, a torn shoulder, a fractured tooth, a severed lip, and a knee the size of a softball. I don't miss 15 games because of a toe injury that everybody knows wasn't that serious in the first place.
