If my teammates are open, I'm going to get them the ball. Flip was wide open.

My teammates did a great job of putting me in different spots on the court where they couldn't double-team me or know where I was going to be. We did a great job of moving on offense and moving all around the court.

On his way up, I got a piece of his arm and a piece of the ball, which made it short. It was a great defensive play, I guess.

When you have that respect from your teammates, it makes it a lot more comfortable.

I could have passed the ball into Yao sitting on the bench he was so wide open. He got what he wanted and we didn't put any defensive pressure on him.

They did a great job of executing in the fourth quarter. It came down to putting the ball in the basket. Rip Hamilton closed us out.
