Dwight Howard Playing Quotations

Playing a top team like the Heat, with all their veterans, really lets us know where we stand. You could see we need a couple more days to regroup.

It feels good. From the get-go, we knew we could beat these guys. The story all year has been us not playing up to our potential, not playing as well as we can. When we do that, we lose, and that happened a lot earlier in the season. We've learned that we have to come out with the kind of intensity we had tonight every night.

We're not playing desperate. Like I've been preaching all season, hard work will eventually turn out and show up for our team.

I really wanted this game because we were playing Detroit and because we really let a win slip away against Milwaukee (on Wednesday).

It's not impossible to win them all. You try to win every game. We've got six at home, where we've been playing well. If we keep playing hard and playing together like we have been, anything is possible.
