We wanted more movement with the ball. We only had fourteen free throws, so we didn't get to the foul line enough.

I really wanted those free throws. They were fouling, and I knew they were going to foul. So I wanted to hold onto the ball as tight as I could and make my free throws.

We didn't handle pressure well at all. This was a total breakdown in controlling the ball on one end and defensively not getting stops. Just a total breakdown on both ends of the floor.

All we needed to do was make our free throws. We had some mental lapses with the ball down the stretch and missed six of our last seven attempts at the line.

It (foul trouble) may have been a key in the second half. But we didn't shoot hardly any free throws in the first half. The second half they had more fouls than we did. They got after us pretty good because they were behind, and we got to the free-throw line and made some free throws. Obviously, any time you've got the lead and you make free throws, it's big.

We were scrappy. We hustled for every loose ball. If we hit free throws we win going away, without everybody in the stands having a heart attack.
