We were able to make some plays down the stretch. We tightened up our defense and offensively we knocked down foul shots and open looks.

When men talk about defense, they always claim to be protecting women and children, but they never ask the women and children what they think

Yet the DIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, knew of his background. He has a very troubled background.

We are taking a look at the use of intelligence, and we're taking a look at the role the Defense Department played, and we're looking at prewar Iraq ... in a careful and deliberate way, because we want to get it right.

We made them play defense by waiting until the :18 mark on the shot clock unless we could take the ball all the way to the basket. That's what got us back into the game.

That?s just a gut-check time, and our defense answered the call. That?s just unbelievable that (our defense) stopped them on third-and-short and fourth-and-short.
