We've prided ourselves in that defense now for five games. We've got a lot of pride in that defense. We feel like we're playing real good defensive football and we have some room to get better.

Obviously, I would like us to play better offensively. Our defense was good all five games. We'd like to score more points and be more fluid, but I think that's something that can come as the season goes on.

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.
