I thought we came out with a little spark in the second half. We started to play man (defense), and that created some turnovers.

Overall, I thought this was probably our best stretch of man-to-man defense that we've played all season. Now, we just have to keep working at that. We've been playing better. The last four games, I think we probably are playing our best basketball. It's coming together.

I thought about it before the play even happened. When the ball comes to me with the bases loaded, you know they're going to try to scratch a run across. I just put everything I had behind it. Everyone on the field and in the stands were so excited. I got caught up in the moment.

The thing I like about Martin's play was his defense. I thought with his four steals and his very good defense, particularly in that stretch where we went on that late run, was very important. Martin is a pleasing guy and he wants to please everybody. He had people here and he's from here and my guess is he pleased them all.

We knew our defense would be a strong point but I don't know if we thought they would play that well. We have so many kids back who have been through so much. They have the experience to recognize what's going on and anticipate the play.

I thought our defense and our bench really stepped up tonight. We had guys step up and play big and when we needed it tonight.
