I don't really mind the penalties but I don't like losing the rhythm. I like the rhythm from playing 5 on 5; we generate things then. Losing a man hurts our ebb and flow.

I do not mind losing in the regular season. We're preparing all year for the district tournament, that's what we're playing for.

You don't mind losing but we didn't even compete. This wasn't Hillhouse or West Haven. We're relying on the jump shot because we're not getting anything inside and when the shots don't drop we struggle.

This is a one goal-game series; I been saying that. The last game, the penalties hurt us because of that. They didn't tonight.

There was great emotion from both teams in the first period. The game was being called tighter tonight than (Game 3). But when you play like that, penalties will happen.

The question is, can we play hard and smart? And I thought we did a pretty good job tonight. There's so little difference between the teams that we have to play that way.
