We've been playing horrible defense lately, giving up more than 80 points the last few games. We wanted to come out and send a message that we can still play defense like we used to. We accomplished what we wanted to do defensively.

We had some jitters in the first quarter. But we settled down. We always win with our defense.

There were a lot of jitters in the first quarter. Our defense shut them down in the second quarter and I think that was the key.

That's two games in a row the defense has done their job. The defense is giving us a chance to win. We just need to get our offense going.

I knew we could force them into a lot of turnovers. When we do give up a basket, we like to come back down the other way and try to get a quick, easy score. That breaks the heart of the other team when you do that. Nobody's been able to run with us all year.

He's locked down every team's best player all year.
