It was pretty hard (to win). We just played a little better than they did in a few key moments and got some offensive rebounds.

We huddled up quickly, and we knew that we couldn't do anything about [the injury], and we just had to win the game. We wanted to prove that we can play no matter what. J.R. is a great player, but when J.R. can't play, someone else has to step up.

We needed a few stops; that's what we were thinking. I wasn't really actually worried that we were going to lose because I knew that my teammates were going to pull it out. I knew we could play better.

That's what we're waiting for (today). We're going to play even harder. We remember what happened a couple of weeks ago and we are a much better team than we played down there.

We really tried to guard him. On some days you can't stop a player. I mean, Kobe Bryant got 81 the other day.

I got to play against a really good player. [Williams] is a really strong guy. He's a great player. I got some good experience.
