Our team is based on defense and transition basketball. We gave up 88 points tonight, and that's very disappointing.

It's real special when two teams bring everything they have to a championship basketball game. Both teams played exceptional defense, and this one feels good.

We had our best half of basketball all year. Our defense was outstanding. We started to go a little individual in the second half.

We played basketball like it is supposed to be played. We moved the ball, we played good defense, we took care of the ball, and we shut down their top player. It was a great first quarter for us.

We had enough offense to win this basketball game. We just didn't have enough defense.

Sheldon is a special player who can win a basketball game in several different ways. With his defense, his passing and his scoring. Not too many players come along who can do that.
