It's the coach's job to make judgments and be critical about players. And Tony has two great attributes: He has an ability to handle criticism, and he's a hell of a competitor.

If Tony can take what he did tonight and continue to improve, we're obviously going to be a much better team than the way we've been playing. I thought he did a great job of getting to the lane and more importantly finishing.

Tony hasn't changed a bit in the sense that he's just part of a whole, part of a team. He's been a wonderful example of a young person being able to handle some fame.

He had his juice back tonight. He looked like the Tony he's been all year long.

I'm not one to blow smoke at my players. They kicked our butts on the offensive boards. And it's not just because the ball came their way.

There hasn't been that much said about it because Tony, the coaches and the players have made it look so easy.
