Like I told the guys, we're here now. Might as well go for it all. Continue to play at your high level and we have an opportunity to beat any team in this league.

I'm excited. Humbled. Truly appreciative.

We had the game. We had it in our pocket and gave it to them. Maybe we were confident. Maybe we thought we were going to win. But it's just an example of how much pride these guys have, especially the opposing team.

From Day 1, my whole priority and my objective is to get these guys into situations where they can get some money out of this game. I'm not going to hold any of 'em back at all.

I quickly realized this guy can go to the basket with the ball. He plays above the rim. He has big hands and can drive. I began running plays for him so he could play to his strengths and he's shown it.

They're ready. Everybody's playing unselfish basketball, which I've always preached. I envisioned guys playing competitive basketball. I envisioned us doing well coming into the job.
