It was just a very slow start. They were making them, and we were missing them. We got to find a way to get off to a better start in these early games.

It's no big difference from game to game. In the first game me and Damp [Erick Dampier] were scoring. Then it was other guys [in Game 2]. I think our depth is a great asset.

Strange things happen in this game. There were a lot of things going on, and we let them hang around for too long. Then everybody started making shots.

The more open shots they get, the better it is for us. If I can get to the basket and try to get those [defenders] closer in on me, it's better for us.

Of course, you've always got (San Antonio) in the corner of your eye. Phoenix, too. Home-court advantage is very important in the playoffs.

Some of our shots went in and out, and some of theirs hit all around the rim and the backboard and went in.
