I told our players that someone needed to step up and make up the difference defensively, and our team pulled together and took up the slack.

I've told these guys, we're a good team. We don't have great players like we did last year.

My team needed me out there to get some things done. At halftime I just told them it's time for me to wake up and just go out there and win the game.

We weren't where we needed to be defensively in the second half. They are the most efficient team I've seen.

Sammy, he's a great leader on our team. Even without him we needed someone to step up.

I knew that we were down by 14 points and my team needed me out there. Halftime, I told them that it was time for me to wake up and go out there and win the game.
