We pride ourselves on defense.

We pride our selves on our defense. They missed some shots and we did a good job rebounding. The goal was to do our very best to limit them to one shot, and the guys just gutted it out.

My major role on this team is defense. I take great pride in doing that job.

I think we saw the rust from the last two weeks off early. We pride ourselves on our defense and rebounding. That's how you stay alive in the postseason.

What we pride ourselves on is our defense. We just tried to wear (Hill and Davis) down. Luckily, the shots just didn't fall for them late.

This was a defensive battle between two teams that pride themselves in defense. There weren't many open shots, and there weren't any transition baskets. And both teams, because of the defensive intensity, had trouble finding a rhythm.
