(Memphis) had that look in their eyes like it was going to be their night. But we started to feed off the crowd, and the momentum started to shift. ... I was just playing the game as it came to me. I was just hitting some shots.
We're playing well together, the chemistry is there. We're very focused. We're trying to get better on defense every night. You can see the effort. It's fun. We're having a lot of fun out there playing basketball.
That doesn't mean anything right now. That's where we want to be in April. We're going to come back hungry. We know what we're playing for. ... We have to get home court.
We have tremendous talent coming in off that bench. Guys have accepted their roles and they're just coming out and playing hard and aggressive.
We aren't going to back down from anyone. We're playing with a great deal of confidence.
That was the game plan. We put a lot of bodies around him. Every time he would catch the ball we had a double-team on him to get the ball out of his hands. He's been playing well of late and we definitely didn't want him to put up 30 like he did last week.
Every time it's a new experience. I've enjoyed it every time I've come back. It's always a dream come true. As a kid you always dream about playing as a Sonic. I'm playing against them, but I'm still playing on that same court.
Avery is a winner. Whatever he has to do to get us motivated to get back to playing good Maverick basketball, that's what needed to be done.
An animal. He is playing like a beast. He is playing real aggressive. This is the best I have seen him play since he's been in the league.
