Obviously, one possession here or there was going to determine the outcome for either team. We certainly need more production from a few of our other guys.

I would say one possession here or there was going to determine the outcome of this ballgame for either team. I thought both teams laid it on the line, put great effort out there to make things happen.

Obviously, we're disappointed with the outcome again, like the first game, but we can't be frustrated. That's a good team we played. I thought we played well enough to win but they played well, too.

Lester has arguably been our most consistent player since he's been here. And it's obvious when we haven't had him we haven't been the same team. That's not an excuse. That's an explanation. And it's an accurate one in our minds.

I'm hopeful our seniors can lead us in this environment, and so in order to do that, I'm going to rely on them to make sure we're ready, we're hungry and we're going to go after it.

We had to battle our way through with Miami. They were a tough, scrappy bunch, and they fought until the end.
