We were trailing by 13 points when our center Brook Crane went down with an elbow injury. We rallied and got to within three points, 26-23, before we were forced to foul and they made their shots.

When you have 55 points at this point, you've done some good things.

If you are trailing, you have to be concerned about what the team ahead of you is doing. When you are in front, all you have to do is go out and win.

We've used Keith before at center ... not this year but previously when he's been in St. Louis. I can't say it will stay pat or not ... we had a practice today, and I wanted to see how it would go in practice.

My biggest relief was when I found out it wasn't a torn ligament. Not that the other injury is better, but a ligament injury is a long injury. I was a little bit afraid that we were in that realm.

He had a good look when he came off, and I saw Ricky (Davis) was trailing him. I knew he was going to get a good look, and earlier we were doing our shooting games and Rip said, 'I never miss from the corner.' So when he got it down there, I felt pretty good.
