I don't think I had a contested shot in the first half. They were playing that jump trap and every time they doubled Whit [Holcomb-Faye] or Andre [Bynum] that left me wide open. I liked that.

We didn't contest shots (in the first half). In the second half we contested shots and they missed.

We're not getting the breaks. I don't think they had a shot in the first half, and I don't think they had very many in the second half; but the one they do get, it goes in.

They shot the lights out in the first half. I think we played the same in both halves, but they were so hot. They are deep, good inside and outside and I think they've got a good chance to be there at the end.

You want every shot he takes to be contested over a hand, and you don't want to let him get anything easy. Because a scorer like that, if you let him get something easy, it really gets him going. Then he's more comfortable making tougher shots.

That was the difference. We shot well enough in the first half (51.2 percent) to be up by more than three.
