Whiz deserves Coach of the Year. He's accomplished a lot with this team. No one knew how we were going to fit together. But he had confidence it would work.
I knew this was a special team when everybody reported to training camp, ... I knew then that we had something special. This has been the best season of my career. My teammates made this special. This is just unbelievable.
I knew in the first half we were not playing Sacramento basketball, ... I knew I was struggling, I was forcing too many things. I just kept my composure and like I said, my teammates are always going to have my back.
I'm the leader of this team, but there's nobody above anybody else on this team. I'm proud, because they knew who their captain was. I was injured for half of this season, but I tied my shoes and stepped on that court to win every game. I wanted this so bad.
It was a dogfight from beginning to end, ... We knew L.A. wasn't going to give up. We kept our composure, but we can't turn the ball over like that. I hope we learn from this.
