It becomes awfully important at the end of the game when it's yours. If that trophy goes away from you, it means a lot more to you whether it be a boot, a shoe or a toothpick.

I'm a cheesecake connoisseur, and it was awfully good.

This is an awfully big game. We've all seen teams that when they get in situations our team's been in, they won't lay it on the line physically. These guys have not backed off.

We're a team that makes a run at some point in the game. Unfortunately, our run came late when we had dug ourselves such a big hole.

It was in the air when the buzzer sounded. It's always hard to lose a game like that, but especially to them... We were playing the No. 1 team in the league, and we had them.

They're just awfully talented. They're getting great production from their bench. You don't become a No. 1 seed or win 32 games being one-dimensional.
