It was a nine?point lead, but it didn't feel like it. It was so back?and?forth. They missed shots, and we missed shots.

We did what we needed to do; we gained some points here, ... A 43-point lead with three races is no cakewalk, by any means, but I'm leaving here with a smile on my face.

They were up nine. We cut into the lead, but they came back with two 3-pointers back-to-back. You can't let that happen.

We've got to get to the point when we get a big lead, we feel confident and finish them off. We're not going to be a great team until we can do that.

When you blow a nine-point lead like that you definitely lose your momentum. We continued to battle until the end, but we fell short.

I think those viewers missed the point,
