We fought and fought. We got some key stops down the stretch. It was a heck of a win against a very good basketball team.
Ben is quick, athletic, strong, tenacious and hungry -- the whole nine yards. He makes it tough because you are afraid to drive the basketball when you know he's back there.
They showed us what playoff basketball is about. It was good for us to go through. We've experienced some ups and downs in the past and we've bounced back before. So I'm going to spin this into a positive and say that this butt-kicking was a good lesson for us on both ends of the floor.
They showed us what playoff basketball is all about. It will be good for us to have gone through this if we learn from it.
Not taking anything away from Washington, that's a very good basketball team down there, (but) it looked like our guys thought they were coming out after the first three minutes.
Damon will be a great addition to our core group. His character, his ability to shoot the basketball from the perimeter and his playmaking skills will be a solid addition to our team.
In the second half, I thought our guys came out and they played basketball the right way. We were able to get stops and we were able to get out on a run. And that lasted for most of the third quarter.
He struggled from the free-throw line, but I have to look in the mirror myself. I played the guy 48 minutes. It's tough on anybody to play 48 minutes and do what he does for our basketball team.
They just kick our behinds. They showed us what playoff basketball is about, and it was good for us.
It's an unfortunate incident for Luke. He's been injured all of last year (and again this year). With him missing as much basketball as he's missed, I felt Stephen (Graham) was a guy I needed to activate.
